| B&W 802D3 maxking OP I have been looking into getting B&W 802D3 speakers since they were announced. I am now at a point to make that decision and I am finding that many people who bring them home, end up returning them because they are too bright They a... | |
| Apogee Scintilla Power westerlm OP I have recently picked up a Plinius SA250 MkIV that is being refreshed and turned into a Reference. Has proven to operate steady at 1ohm load handling scintilla dips down to .85ohms with high power and current. This "could" be the on... | |
| Apogee Scintilla Power westerlm Apogee Scintilla Power The Apogee Scintilla are only 79db so you’ll need "at least" 150watt/8ohm to get them going. But they go down to 0.9ohm right through the lower bass and also 1.2ohm around 1-2khz in the upper midrange. http://www... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 1 Really ? Mosfet mist ? Weak in the bass department ? Don;’t know about the "mist" remark Mr D. But yes for the same given complimentary pairs of Mosfets v (BJT) Bi-Polar,(both with great power supplies) the BJT output stage amp will deliver much m... | |
| Going Battery Powered jzzmusician I'm a dummy; what does, "PPT," stuff mean? Just another BS voodoo snake oil product like ($1) $150! ac mains fuses, but this ones a $300! contact cleaner https://perfectpathtechnologies.com/product/total-contact/ Electronic ... | |

| Going Battery Powered gear that can accept 12V DC will always sound better Base line background noise is what your gain is with battery and you can measure it if you have a good crow, it's a sense of being even blacker between notes, in a quite room. (assuming yo... | |
| Focal Scala Evo vs Wilson Audio Alexia 1 Focal Scala Evo vs Wilson Audio Alexia 1 My friend had the Alexia 1 and then the 2 they are great speakers and I would prefer them. He had the big current Parasound Halo JC1’s monoblocks driving both the Alexia V1 and V2 and they sounded great, t... | |
| Going Battery Powered Battery has always got better noise figures, from what I've measured powering the Lightspeed Attenuator. Saying that the "very best" regulated linear power supplies are "almost" as good as battery.Cheers George | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Here’s what the Aussie’s think about the Kappa 9’s after this guy posted them up for sale. I think the 2 pages of discussions on how they are to drive, killed his sale of them. Wilson Alexia’s are even harder as their lower most impedance is up ev... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load This'll be good, the maker doesn't even dare to mention 2ohm let alone 0.8ohm. http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/uploads/monthly_2016_03/Kappa9Impedance.jpg.340a528e36b9...Cheers (sorry no) good luck George | |
| Schiit Aegir power amplifier low power Class-A linear amp Stereophile review I have been looking for a pair of used Aegirs Not yet they were only released a short while back, unless people bought them not knowing you only had 20w to play with and it wasn't enough for what they wanted to do.Cheers George | |
| Can an IC based amp be considered 'high end'? Can an IC based amp be considered 'high end' Build your own, get a ready made power supply, the "chip amp" put it into a Asian box with heat sinks with 2 rca's and 2 pairs of speaker terminals and see how it sounds.For the best chip amp go to d... | |
