Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences

Resistors vs. Paul Speltz Autoformers- Differences? Both band-aid fixes, get the right amp to do the job in the first place and you'll be sonically much better off. If you can't bear to change that amp that can't do the job, then change the spe...

I’d pay money to read (or watch/hear) ericsquires, wolfgarcia, millercarbon, and georgehifi each receive the same amp, speaker, etc. and review it. Do I get to keep the amp if I give a good review, as reviewers do?? Then I’m "In like Flyn"😊Cheers ...

Class-D Audio USA have just released their new GaN amp at the CES
Thanks for the 'insider's view', George. If the development of D-amps continues at the current pace, the 60 lb.blocks can finally stop heating listening rooms.... Not to mention the spinal damage every time we have to move or clean them. I wan...
