| What is wrong with my system? You guys are talking to a ghost, the OP's gone MIA! | |
| VTL 300 Deluxe monoblocks VTL died when David Manley died. VTL has their days numbered. Eva Manley took over from David when he passed and did a good job, then I think the son took over.Cheers George | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread You mean "bump" | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Think you did.The OP did ask "If you have thoughts, comments" on this shootout, some just can't handle thoughts and comments for it to be an equal shootout.Cheers George | |
| VTL 300 Deluxe monoblocks This is the one I looked at.https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtl-vacuum-tube-logic-book-david-247799935Maybe that wasn’t the one I borrowed, it was back in the 80’s🤷♂️And for memory now, it did have a very catchy title, not what that white ... | |

| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Read again "If you do A/B using CD and streaming"!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏 If you do A/B using CD and streaming, be aware early CD’s are usually not compressed (sound much better), where later of the same cd (re-issues/re-masters) are compressed, and are what y... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend verdantaudio OP I have a few transports here. I can order a CD or two with decent tracks on it. Good suggestion since lots of folks are CD users. Hate to put another fly in the ointment but!If you do A/B using CD and streaming, be aware early CD’... | |

| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Yes very interesting, how many of these dacs are R2R and how many Delta Sigma?Also will this be using RedBook CD’s as the source or streamed DSD?? As with all my own A/B’s R2R has always been the preference over Delta Sigma on CD. Cheers George | |

| Class A Power in A/B amplifiers? believing that Class A was the SHIT! ... But I came to find that slew rate & wide band frequency response under punishing conditions is a far better resume You can't state that unless it's the same amp your comparing the different Class-... | |
