| high resolution streaming music are majority of them truly remastered at high resolution from master recordings Re-Masters to me usually spell two things."louder remastering" which is useless, because we have enough gain already. "compression" which just make everything l... | |
| Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers pyma6 OP I ended up buying a used pair (recent build, 2 years ago) of Parasound Halo JC1’s Good choice for these speakers, have the JC1’s in high Class-A bias mode at your initiation listen.And your PH3 has 71db!! of gain, so you could combined ... | |
| Image depth "Then one "BIG" step further is to remove the back wall from in between the speakers like I did, leaving a little 1-2mt behind each speaker for bass loading" Awesome George! It gave me double the depth and imaging that I had before with the wall ... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 Insanely good speaker I heard this very pair https://www.soundstageaustralia.com/index.php/reviews/84-wilson-audio-specialties-alexia-series-2-loudspeakers at length over time with many different amps using the same Total Dac/Lightspeed front e... | |
| Image depth Can anyone offer a technical explanation of how a stereo system recreates image depth? As far as the recordings go, leave that for others, but how to get your system to extract the most do this. Remove anything between the speakers (equipment rack... | |
| best-sounding class D amp? Very ordinary, like it’s sibling Continuum II. The 535 is almost $10k here in AU, makes the Behringer A800 for <$400 a real bargain or the Crown 1502 for less than < $1k. But then you don’t get that case?Cheers George | |
| best-sounding class D amp? best-sounding class D amp? Look at PASS amps much better than classl d pass on class d maybe in 10 years it will get better. Best one I’ve heard so far had been at our club audio meeting, the Belcanto Ref 600M monoblocks which use Hypex NC500 ... | |

| Gryphon Essence Pre and Stereo Power Amp Review To me Gryphon make some of the very best amps available, that can drive any speaker I’ve seen them up put up against. (big current into low impedance is their motto) Yes other amps can drive them also, but it’s always seems nothing like a Gryphon ... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO I’m playing louder than normal (about +10db) as well and the sound only becomes fuller - never strained nor distorted. And while playing at higher than my normal volume, I can hear more of the delicate details and dynamics of this excellent DAC. +... | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match @joannism As I said, don’t look at the amp for causing your problem, if anything it’s a touch on the dark side of neutral. It is one of the best integrated’s you can get. Start with the speakers then the source to find your problem.Cheers George | |
| Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers pyma6 OP Some reviews warn about a harsh tweeter Look what I posted about that above your postAnd they all need doing now because of the age they are, instead of being viscose it turns to tar and causes linear distortion and heat, and if left ... | |
| Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers Pym OP I looked at a Gryphon Antileon Signature. I wish! Unless the photos have me wrong, what an ugly monster, the wife will run me out. Most women I know like that 1910-1935 "Art Deco" look, especially the fashion of that time.https://ibb.co... | |
| Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers pyma6 Great speaker if driven well. Could do with the tweeters old ferro fluid replacement by now, then the highs will sing again, look for posts I did on how to do this yourself. Here’s one. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1843203?highlight=ferr... | |
