| suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A This thread is going nowhere. As it doesn’t address the OP’s thread title Nothing repeat nothing! solid state A/B (low bias A) sounds like a 20w> high bias Class-A amp. As there is no xover distorti... | |
| Audio Repair Tools I have a Spectral DMA 200 that needs to be dismantled and cleaned as it is FILTHY inside. Bad design if it didn’t have filters with those fans. Or they rotted and weren’t replaced.Fine brush vacuum nozzle should do the trick, unless it’s turned mu... | |
| Openning a hi fi shop Simple Good esoteric hiend boutique (back yard) brands that the big boy retailers can’t order in 10-20 lots and then undercut you and send you to the wall.Cheers George | |

| Benchmark DAC 3B Vs. Schiit Gungnir Multibit and a question. Well, my Benchmark must have broken in more. I don’t hear any more ”thinness.” Sorry, but my friend and I were the same, when we A/B'd my r2r dac with his new Benchmark and it's thinner presentation. Then he also said after 2 months, it's fi... | |
| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? I like their product. That’s not in question. I not saying that it sounds bad, may sound good for all I know.Just that there’s so much of this going on to catch out the gullible, it’s got to be pulled up, just like the "boutique" $150> snake o... | |
| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? It seems proved as BS. What I’m amazed at is that I confronted them via email with the evidence it couldn’t be true and they just repeated the BS. If your 100% sure they said "The IN200 works in Class A up to about 40W under 8 Ohm" Ask them to co... | |
| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? "The IN200 works in Class A up to about 40W under 8 Ohm. The switch to Class AB is quite slow." BTW this is BS, that they claim for a 120w rms class-B they say it is.If it were true the thing would huge with external heat sinks and weigh 30kg+ no... | |

| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... You bought up CDR’s, I still call it copy/burn, and do it at 10-20x my originals on my desk top for the car cd player.And any new cd I buy are "used" and are nearly always the earlier non compressed versions, like this new/used 1995 Golden Earring... | |

Either way - by using good ripping program created CD-R will always sound better than badly scratched CD Sorry no they don’tAlso here, are the micron photos of the original stamped retail CD left, middle is a burnt gold CDR copy, and right is the... | |
| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? hilde45 When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? Looking at the size of the heat sinks https://ibb.co/1LXDhKt and the rail volts needed for Class-B 120w output, your lucky to have a couple of watts of Class-A ... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... Ripping program can effectively renew old scratched CD making it sound better - like new. Even CD-R made from such rip will likely sound better than original CD. Not correct sorry, I can hear the difference between the original and the bur... | |
| Moving to France Moving to FranceWe are planning a move to France fairly soon. Does anyone know the best way to cleanly transform the 240v european voltage down to 117 without a bunch of hum?You know I read this in National Geographic in a doctors waiting room, a ... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I can’t explain it but I get more detail than from my CD transport Impossible, it can’t make extra bits that are not there. Probably hearing some form of hf colouration/distortion or maybe even even jitter or more error correction if that’s possi... |
