| Surge protection for amps? @westom shows up again and talks bs about numbers and circuits he doesn’t understand. I think this time he’s switching current and volts. MOV’s / Shunt type surge protectors are most cost effective at the panels. Noise dampening can also do a lot ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Also, the meters on the Technics SE-R1 are super cool. Wish I could buy the casework alone. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! At $17k a pair? No. No thank you. I’ve heard current linear amps that were about that expensive and I wouldn’t switch to them either. To me the idea that we need super technology to finally fix the Class D problem just wont’ fly. Blame my tin ears... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Always fun to talk tech.... but I've been living with dreamy sounding amps for a while now. I don't need my switching frequency increased to have the best.E | |
| Focal Mezzo Utopia Be Upgrades No worries. :) It’s a personal interest project which I am hoping others could be curious about too. I see others upgrading parts here and there, and I think "Man, what these speakers really need is a modern tweeter" to bring them up to 21st centu... | |
| Focal Mezzo Utopia Be Upgrades Maybe I should be offering diamond tweeter upgrades instead? :) Best,E | |
| Focal Mezzo Utopia Be Upgrades I should also say, this generation of Focal Utopia's has the best opportunity for upgrades compared to the rest of the line. I can put world class tweeters in them. After this, it's nothing but micro-motors. Best,E | |
| Focal Mezzo Utopia Be Upgrades Thanks BRF!! I know, the mezzo and Grand utopia's had fabulous cabinetry, but are now 3 generations old. Yes, I am confident they would exceed the performance of 10k speakers after mods. :) but it's not worth doing 1 pair. Best,E | |
| Tidal and MQA Hey @audiofreak32 How old is your DAC? I ask because a number of modern DACs handle Redbook a lot better than they used to. Schiit, Mytek, etc. I simply don't have this problem at all. Best,E | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple Monitor Audio is a very good brand to listen to together. Most of their speakers are now rather slender too. Best,E | |
| Surge protection for amps? Furman's are great, and inexpensive. SurgeX are good and pricey! :) I have two Furman's, one with LiFT and one without, and I can tell the difference. LiFT works. One side effect of all these series protectors: they are low-pass noise filters with... | |
| Mid Range Remote Volume Control I strongly suggest you bring your question over to DIYAudio.com, you'll find many geeks who can help you there. :) Best,E | |
| Focal Mezzo Utopia Be Upgrades I hope all those who respond are as willing to share their thoughts as you were.Best,E | |
| Dealers That Sell Large Volumes of Used Gear Online Another one I recommend, great prices on Wireworld cables:http://perrottaconsulting.com/ | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Also, Fremer’s position about switching amps all having these problems is utter nonsense. Even though the review is five years old, by 2012 digital amps were getting very good. This was unsubstantiated bias which is part of the reason why Stereoph... |
