| What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully? I have to say, that my intentions on this thread were, as usual, purely for fun, enlightenment and connecting with other audiophiles.I am a little surprised at how quickly and irrevocably this thread went sideways. That because you always put up ... | |
| Amp-preamp mismatch?? result higher volume. What is rthe cause?? There’s no impedance mismatch as the P.S. Audio S-300 amp is 50k input impedance with 1v input sensitivity. Should not load down any preamp. The problem could be the PS amp itself, if that pre was fine with the other amp, was it purchased new?Chee... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I trust what George (and everyone) says about what he/they actually hears.....I do not trust what he/they says about things that he/they has not heard One needs both listening/measuring, you need to back up what your hearing with measurement’s ot... | |
| Jay’s Audio DAC The JA Dac2 may sound better doing DSD as it’s got Delta Sigma D/A converters, but my bets still on the Denafrips R2R ladder dac when doing RedBook PCM 16/44, 24/96 or DXD. It good marketing to cover all the bases From Mojo Music When a PCM file i... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Once again on fuses for the gullible here that are thinking of throwing their money away paying $150+ for a 50cent fuse that’s just been dressed up to look glitzier. You’ll never see the manufacturers of these (snake oil) fuses defending themselve... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? GFiopinion is essentially meaninglessAnd naturally his shill and name sake has to step in. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? No doubt, to those that do not listen. Those that listen with an open mind....they actually experience something......so they really KNOW. This is something a fuser would say when taken to task. 🤦♂️ | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I can make the amp you have jump at you like lightning. Even the AC filter on the VTV is limiting the current ?? The power switch kills the sound. ?? the fuse in the power supply is 12 amps?? I mount a cryoed demagnetized Furutech inlet... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Does not mean it’s junk just that there is a system mismatch. 230ohm into 2.2kohm is fine, 1:10 ratio, and if he has enough gain there is no problem."unless" there is a coupling capacitor on the preamp's output that's too small, and rolling off... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? My preamp has an output impedance of 230 Ohms. A preamp with 230ohm output impedance will drive anything, even a low gain one, if you get high enough volume.And even drive a buffer with 2.2kohm input impedance "if correct", I can’t believe it is t... | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound In any dollar even AU ones which is even less.Cheers George | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report "Radar Love" - timeless! Radar Love is my second, to me, the nine and a half minute "Vanilla Queen" is number one on the 1995 version, kills the 2005 version for jump factor.Best sounding one on youtube still sounds crap compared to the 1995 CD h... | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound I paid 1.3k for a Shunyata powercord. 🤦♂️Cheers George | |
| Audio Repair Tools With George’s suggestion, I’m always recommend against using vacuum to clean circuits and vacuum causes static electricity which could potentially damage some IC circuits (i.e. op amps, etc.). You use a brush and it sucks air, there’s no static, ... | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound ucdmac122005 Does this work or is this a myth? It's a myth, a 50c fuse sold for $150 is a con aimed at the gullible.Just change the fuse if old for a quality brand EE industry standard 50c fuse, as fuses (even the snake oil ones) do age afte... |
