| Record clamp andyhifiman OP This sort of light aluminium clamp that screw down onto the record is the best, no weight. And it even better if you have a small appox 2cm wide by 1mm thick washer on the spindle under the record. This makes the record sit higher i... | |
| Peachtree GaN 400 vs Class D Audio Mini GAN 5 Sounds to me like the US made Class-D Audio GaN5 held it’s head up nicely for $750 against the $3,000 Peachtree 4 x more expensive!!!!!And it has gain switching also 100kohm input impedance, which is a big + for going direct from Dac with volume o... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto jakesnak OP Here is an update with my Gryphon Mephisto: Connectivity was directly from my EMM LABS DV2. After some time I found it too edgy and forward. That’s not the fault of the Gryphon, if anything they are more Class-A in sound, which some... | |
| Class A Power in A/B amplifiers? Hey Abraxalito slumming it again??Cheers George | |
| Class A Power in A/B amplifiers? Most "high biased" >100w amps are around 5w Class-A, Unless you go Gryphon Antillion which has 3 X switchable bias up to 100W!!! Class-A and is 150w A/BThe Class-A heat factor "goes up exponentially" the more Class-B you have. So two amps both ... | |
| HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC Neil Young is a proponent of HDCD as wellFrom what I was told, he’s also a huge "anti compression" advocate as well and helped finance the Dynamic Range Data Base website https://dr.loudness-war.info/ along with other noted musicians. The early HD... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Don’t know what this clown 3 posts back hopes to achieve by copy/pasting exactly something I posted on a totally different thread about fuses, as the Lightspeed doesn’t even use fuses!!!!!!!!!!!. (there’s always one, probably a fuser)But he manage... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? tomic601 congrats on a great run George. Does the fng have plans for a remote ? Yes Scott (new owner of Lightspeed Attenuator) in the future said he'll have remote, and maybe a more glitzy look. Something I always meant to get around too... | |
| HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC goofyfoot OP The only HDCD’s that I’m aware of owning are the Rhino releases of Grateful Dead shows Here are 368 that were marked HDCD there are thousands, Reference Recordings always use it for their MOR and Classical issues https://dr.loudness-... | |
| The Absolute Sound...Luxman D10X review. They never got to compare Redbook vs either MQA or SACD with the exact same recording which is a real let down to me. But then the converter in it is a BD34301EKV "Delta Sigma" based converter and not the best thing for "bit perfect" Redbook PCM C... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread @cerberus79I rarely post anything here. I did so this time because I had direct experience on the topic and reported it in a factual and non judgmental fashion. My reward was to be called a lier by one member and told I was in the wrong hobby by a... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread oregonpapaIf you can’t hear the difference between a stock fuse and an SR Orange fuse, I’d suggest seeking out a different hobby.Frank If you can, I suggest you seek medical help (just giving back what’s dished out) | |

| Quantum Science Audio Thread cerberus79You could also try one of these 5A circuit breakers if your worried about no fuse protection, on your MG 3.7i’s instead of the fuse, with a bit of luck the lug spacing could also be soldered to the outside of the 3AG fuse clamp.https:/... |
