| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong While it’s true that the tubes do nothing, they are pure marketing genius. People that get sucked in buy this "pure marketing genius" are what I call a "glitz queen" and this is the reason he has a $15k odd price tag on them.When what’s inside am... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong And that’s where a lot of anti-Class D bias looses all of its wind. And in your forceful statement with the heading to this thread "I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong"means what most of us who feel Class... | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? fanotunes OP Been thinking about audio research reference 5SE, Audio research reference phono 3, pass labs 250.8. This AR pre is what my figures were based on above, and this would be a fine match, with the Pass amp.Cheers George | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! So in the 3 different comparisons, the CD player came in second every time, and this was with a "junk" Samsung budget Blue-Ray player used!!! That's got to tell you something on what could? have been the outright winner by far.Cheers George | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong mapman Yes TI appears to have GaN based Class D modules now and can’t imagine those cost much more than their others. Anyone know of amps that use these? Thanks for that info. Didn’t think it would be long before big companies like TI (Texas Inst... | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? The thing to look at is the output impedance at 20Hz, which is often considerably higher than it might be at 1KHz. I didn’t think AR would "cheap out" on output coupling caps that are too small into anything above 10k. As this infers they have 10... | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Wondering if anyone has had experience matching a pass labs amp with an audio research preamp. Do they make a good combination? I think it will work great, just make sure the "output impedance" of the A... | |

| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Armed with this knowledge it might be interesting to ask a manufacturer of a GaN-based class D amp why their amp is so much more expensive. You’d have you been asleep, that goes with any new ground breaking technology eg:TV’s The first models in ... | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 Is the Jay’s Audio unit a modified version of the Philips mechanism? The one I received looks a bit different from the one in the CD transport. I doubt very much if there’s any laser modding going on, maybe someones fibbing on what’s inside.I went... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @georgehifi, I can only take your opinions about GaN seriously I don’t really don’t care, what I post is for others to read, from people far more knowledgeable than you, as you just push what you sell. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Hum class D....should I sell my 300B??? Not unless you have quite a few $K for the latest GaN ones at this time, still I would think is the Technics SE-R1. As they have fully utilised the higher switching speeds GaN technology has to offer.From A... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong would say that’s a 10/4 good buddy............ I have been enjoying my new Merrill Audio Veritas mono-bloc amps for the last month or so. These amps have been a revelation in my system You should have a listen to the Merrill Element 118,116... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong But only George can hear it. Not just me sunshine, everyone else that hears something wrong in the upper mids/highs with Class-D, you just don’t hear it, and choose to ignore that very big fact. https://live.staticflickr.com/3666/33726831296_436... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong So, @georgehifi you have compared GaN with other class D amps? Once again in case you missed it, or just inconspicuously trying to shill your own wares Don’t need to, they are all variations on a technology that has an achilles heel that can’t b... |
