new GAN amplifier Maybe, if those listeners don't know what to listen for. But for those same listeners short term living with each amp, listening to many albums over a few days you eventually would pick it, especially if the speakers are hard to drive.Cheers George | |
PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR ASR only likes DACs from obscure makers in China that you’ve never heard of. This is BS, he is the only one that gives unbiased and almost complete set of test measurements.He says he doesn't say what he likes and dislikes the sound of , becaus... | |
new GAN amplifier Also note this difference between the two taken from a seminar on Mosfet V Bi-Polar (BJT), which to me gels with what I notice/hear. "BJTs tend to have better, more linear gain characteristics…and can give you a lot higher voltage gain than MOSFE... | |
Center placed equipment stands I’d like to be a glitz queen, but unfortunately my equipment rack is off to the side Your one of the rare "queens" that listens, not that there's anything wrong with that😊Glitz queens take note, and listen, not just to this, but finally to your... | |
new GAN amplifier Many (me included) just don't like Mosfet sound. Listen to some older Threshold Pass amps that used bi-polars, you'll change your mind.Cheers George | |
Passive preamp bluetosman What is passive preamp and how to connect them A passive preamp controls the volume of the source just like an active preamp, except there’s no added gain, which means no added noise or coloration’s or distortions, they use all the g... | |
Looking for inexpensive preamp there was nothing the Freya+ did sonically that the Saga+ didn't do equally well or better. That maybe.From a technical view point there is quite a difference in favor of the Freya in distortion, noise, output impedance, also the Freya has a 12... | |
Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? Overly compressed This is the key to bad sound, as there are no quite gaps/passages anymore between the softest notes and the loudness notes, they are all just given to you at the same level, which sounds LOUD! even when turned down.Your brain d... | |
PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR Yes and no if the proper caveats are included. Yes and Yes OK the proper caveat would be "Trust both ears and measurements as they go hand in hand. That’s the way all good audio equipment is made, with good electronic engineering design and hou... | |
Looking for inexpensive preamp schwantner OP I do want a phono section, but could also buy a phono pre-amp Get the $129 Schiit Mani phono stage with any of the 4 Shiit preamps https://www.schiit.com/products/mani Cheers George | |
PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR Trust your ears not the MEASUREBATORS ! Trust both, as they go hand in hand, that way your not kidding yourself. | |
Class A 30 Watt Amps: Are they enough to drive my book shelfs? Does anyone have any idea of how this amp might sound at medium volume levels in comparison to a Modwright KWA 150 Never heard one, but should be ok grunt wise to handle the low loading between 70hz and 150hz for the bass, all depends on the re... | |
Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino George, we all are entitled to our opinions. Well don’t come on with your first post and start personally attacking people, put up a technical argument insteadI thought you and your dead horse, were outta-hereYou think because they are good with ... | |
Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino I’m out of this conversation. You come on here and attack personally in your first post. (which wasn’t warranted.)You’ve been told by others now. "Your Golden Ear Triton Reference Speakers are infinitely much easier to drive 93db and has 1500w a... | |
Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino In that case, you may want to try D’Agastino Momentum M400 Monoblock amplifiers True they would be nice also, but the price for the OP is way too much compared to say the Gryphon 120 or 300, and I’d say they would be warmer sounding as well which... |
