| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA @tomiiv, I agree. For the electronically inclined, it is a walk in the park. But, those of us with limited skills (well, I can solder pretty well), seeing the list of items needed and putting them in the proper order makes me a bit uneasy. Mostly ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @georgehifi ,Similar or better.Knowing Ralph, he is going to surprise us all.(Now Rob Schneider in Cajun outfit saying 'You can do it Ralph').B | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @celander ,The lure of Class D is a more efficient amp. Here on Long Island, we pay through the nose for power-at least it is fairly clean. I love my tubes and SS amps, but if I could get something similar that runs cool and cheap, heck, I am all ... | |

| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @rsf507 ,I wish I could be more precise, but I was listening to a system with equipment I never listened to before, so I really can't give an opinion because it might have been one component that affected sound reproduction to lead me to 'sounded ... | |
| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? Are those ribbon tweeters?B | |
| Some components too old now? @vinyloid,Yes, I got the same take on those thread. So, maybe I'm wrong. The only way to tell is try and audition some more contemporary DAC's. Though I have to say DAC's from the 90's never contemplated the high resolution being offered today.Re ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I just listened to amps from Merrill-116 monoblocks.They sounded pretty good, but are unfortunately very expensive.Bob | |
