| High end Class D amps? Look at the specs of the PuriFi modules, which can put out 500 watts into 2 ohms with 0.0003% THD. Look at what independent tested current it can do. Compare the "2ohm wattage" to the "4ohm wattage", and see if the 2ohm can come "close" to doubl... | |

| Audiophile streaming service THINK!!! See, the Forest for the Trees.Do you think they are going to scour eBay for old used ones with catalogue numbers details just to get the uncompressed one then buy it used hoping it’s in good nick? No I don’t think so, they get what’s give... | |
| Audiophile streaming service By all means rip them from a good known early uncompressed CD to a hard drive.But to stream them from a streaming company you are sure to get the later compressed version, of what you bought from Germany.And your right you can bump up the level so... | |

It’s only the Tungsten electrode rod that probably needs replacing, as that’s how long they last. Just like on my Magnat MP-02 Plasma’s. I bought the right diameter rods on ebay got a machin... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. In this room, I had exceptional depth.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6378#&gid=1&pid=1In this room, I didn't have the same depth (but the speakers are the same model). The sound was a wide wall of sound.https://systems.audiogon.com... | |
| Audiophile streaming service The new stuff is compressed reference is just as relevant to CD’s Yes I agree, there are many compressed CD’s especially the later ones as the DR data base shows. And from how they sound these versions are the ones streaming companies use, as we’... | |
| Audiophile streaming service Well if you guys take the trouble to find out the versions of what your listening to, especially earlier music, you’ll find it’s later re-releases, that are much more compressed than the earlier first release versions.And most new stuff is compres... | |
| Better Amp for Cornwall IV's... At a 102db you could rub two sticks together to make them make a sound.I would get the purest solid state Class-A single ended amps. Look at the Nelson Pass Aleph range of beasts, you can get them used also.https://www.passlabs.com/technical_artic... | |
| Whats this for? 2020matters OP You might have dip switches inside to set your max gain for the volume control.Cheers George | |

| Class D As good as I like to say Class-D gets with the Technics SE-R1, I still don’t think it’s a good amp for driving the Scintilla’s 2ohm load, compared to big linear bi-polar amps, that can really dump many more amps (current), especially when the Scin... | |
