| M900U vs the world It's not about sounding 10 times better for 10x the price.It's simply about sounding better, and deciding if it is worth it to you.Emotiva is good for its price. I too 'chose it' years ago based on specs and marketing. But, I moved on and up, a... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Personally, I would keep a large pot of boiling snake oil on my component rack if it made things sound better.Instead, I use nice power cables, interconnects, and speaker cables because they DO make things sound better. Many compare stock to rela... | |
| Am I getting old and grumpy? Grumpy for another reason:I have bought and sold 8 or 10 things between A-gon and USA. I now have a vintage pair of KEF reference 205 speakers for sale. No less than 4 individuals have made an agreement to purchase, pay cash and pick up, and hav... | |

| best-sounding class D amp? Hello, I have seriously listened to Mola Mola Kalugas, Benchmark AHB2 (Monos), Appolon, and PS Audio S700 mono's.By far the most musical, engaging, powerful, dynamic and resolving were the Kaluga's.Those small beauties replaced my venerable Class... | |
| High Powered Holographic Amplifiers Audionet. (and to me cables do matter). | |
| Top notch integrated vs DAC direct into stereo amp I do get all that and that is why I went for DAC direct into amp to start. Just saying in my situation, the preamp improved the sound.First setup: PS Audio DS DAC into BHK 250 amp. These are hybrid tube pieces, so maybe that mattered, but insert... | |

| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? Hi, reviving this thread with a few comments. I own two 3500P's, both supply power to entire systems with DAC, Preamp and mono amps.I am very happy with the sound.

| Top notch integrated vs DAC direct into stereo amp Forgot to comment about DAC direct into Amps. Tried this a couple of times, and both times when a good preamp was inserted the sound improved noticeably. My ONLY source is my DAC and I still will always have a preamp (until I get the Humboldt!!!... | |

So would the Stern + Heisenbergs.The Humboldt power is listed as : Output Power 2 x 320 W into 8, 2 x 460 W into 4.The Heisenbergs would be:Output powe... | |

| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Hi Dsper, While I am hesitant to chime in here, for fear of attack, this is what I think I know:I replaced my Classe CA-2300 (an amp I Ioved) with Mola Mola Class D Kalugas. They drive my Revel Ultimate 2 Salon 2's, a speaker not super easy to ... |
