| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong For example, I’ve read that GaN transistors are capable of switching so fast they literally eliminate dead-time and any resulting distortion caused by it. I would imagine that any good amp designer would believe that substituting these for the ty... | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 It's always nice to have everything new, but if your mechanically comfortable with things John, get just the laser, doing the whole laser/mech will take less than an 1hr, doing the laser only "could" be up to 1.5hrs.Cheers George | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 For now all I can say is it was worth every penny spent. my hope is that it will last longer than some other players I’ve had snackeypAnd to protect your new purchase, I suggest you get a new genuine Philips CDM-4 laser to store away for it, as th... | |
| Using a RCA-only preamp with an XLR-only power amp Just get 2 x Neutrik NA2MPMF https://www.neutrik.com/en/product/na2mpmf Cheers George | |
| Fixing a broken Tube That tube is history dude!! No it’s not. tonydennison OP Look very closely make sure no1 pin goes in no1 hole and put in back in without the guide post, and leave it be, it will sound exactly the same and not cause trouble.Cheers George | |
| Preamp suggestions Just making sure that I am following all of you correctly. The Saga with unity gain could be fine with your Snell's also, it just comes down to how much your source is giving, most do 2v and some I've seen can do 6v. Give the Saga a go you may ... | |
| Preamp suggestions Why is the Schiit Freya + being left off the list? Cost and the tube gain stage is 4 x on the Freya, and unity on the Saga, and if he did have the Klipsch the unity would be better, but now with the Snell's the Freya would be better.Cheers George | |
| Preamp suggestions Yes mcreyn got the money shot icarus12 , didn't see that closeout sale on the original Saga which is tube /or passive and remote for $100 less. https://www.schiit.com/products/sagaCheers George | |
| Preamp suggestions icarus12 You definitely don’t need any more preamp gain with your amp an speakers.Your Naka PA-5 needs only 1.4v in for full 100w output and it’s 75kohm input impedance. With today’s sources all you’ll need is a passive preamp, especially with you... | |
| Recommendation for specific amp (must have 110 /220V) switch See what I mean, this was the 303/200 I did the change on, identical input boardhttps://ibb.co/P15z2s4Cheers George | |
| Recommendation for specific amp (must have 110 /220V) switch but I would refuse to do any soldering.... This looks to be the exact same power input board as my Cary 300/200 was, and all it took was to move the two fuses to the other positions below them, NO SOLDERING, just pull them out and push them back ... | |
| Vintage Krell KSA50, KSA100 and KMA100 monoblocks there were ones with internal chimney heatsinks that were fan forced and had proper amount of Class-A on them into 8ohms, KSA50 had 50w the KSA, and KMA had 100wThe other later ones with external heatsinks were ... | |
| Anyone having problems with their Gryphon Diablo 300 remote? It's a cold truth -- you get what you pay for. If it's a Philips remote, don't put **** on Gryphon, must be a bad batch if you got two faulty ones, Philips make one of the best remotes around.Cheers George | |
| GaN FET-based Class D amps 1: Technics- SE-R12: " " SU-G303: Merrill Element 1184: " " 1165: AGD Production GaN Tube. 6: Class D Audio (said they were prototyping)Cheers George | |
| System phenomenon when playing loud I’m imagining that the hard part will be determining the value of the inductors.Many decent multimeters can do inductance and certainly resistance, and can be as low as around $50, you’ll work it out.Cheers George |
