| Wilson Watt Puppy 7 sssixxx I have a friend who’s a watt puppy nut, he’s owned every one up to the 8’s he and I both agree the 7’s were the best. He’s driven them with everything, se tube, pp tube, Class-D, the best was with high classA biased solid state Class-A/B a... | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! Although the tube sockets are pcb mounted, they’re very solid. I couldn’t detect any board deflection when installing the tubes. Yeah just watch that centre plastic pin on the supplied tubes.Here is a place you guys have over there for good sound... | |
| Acoustic Energy AE-2 * any info helpful What was so great about the AE speakersI love ESL’s, the AE-3 "was" one of the best dynamic box speaker I’ve heard. Your two’s were just like the AE1’s with more bass, keep them well away from the back/side walls they can get bass heavy. https:/... | |
| Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available... Wonder if the output transformer has better stability in this new one.As the old one didn't, looking at the peaking FR and overshoot on the SW. Can't tell till a bench test is done, or some start saying it's a touch sibilant on extended tweeters. ... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition rvpiano OP Nice amp, if you want to hear them at their best, don't bridge "if there's no need to", as all you'll gain is watts, everything else takes a hit. And if you have two of them better to run them in stereo mode and vertically bi-amped, ... | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! flapjack Watch out pushing in and pulling out the tubes supplied with the Freya, they are fine sounding but cheap as the plastic centre locator pin has a habit of snapping off, so don't wiggle "too much" as your pulling them out.Cheers George | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) Now why exactly do I want to show distortion graphs? To prove your hearsay.Because your the one that said "Muti-inputs corrupt the signal to a degree and this is more noticeable with Class D" Granted multiple inputs and the switches to do it do, ... | |
| Best Bass Amp! Best Bass Amp! For value for money, best bass amp is a Class-D, so long as the speaker stays at or above 4ohms. "Generally" Class-D **** themselves current wise into a 2ohm load.There "maybe" one or two that can do 2ohm with a wattage figure tr... | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) Muti-inputs corrupt the signal to a degree and this is more noticeable with Class D I’m not a fan of multi input devices period for purist listening, they’re noisy. Sorry, but nothing you said gives a technical reason for you to say: "with multi... | |

| Preamps I’ve paired my Freya with an ARC REF75 amp and it sounded astonishing +1 for the Shiit Freya, a 3 in 1 Swiss army knife with the best mechanical volume control you can get. Has to be the bargain ($699) of the decade, embarrasses many $$$$$$K prea... | |
| Which one is the best INTEGRATED!! Which one is the best INTEGRATED!!With Focal speaker No contest, Gryphon Diablo300.Especially with Focals, they are all known to have bass impedance/-phase angle load that is difficult to get the very best out of, the others may still sound great,... | |
| DAC - Aqua Formula or Aqua La Scala Mmmmm, yummy, R2R discrete mulitibt dacs, the best for Redbook,DXD PCM. Just had a quick look at the specs, it seems they’ve used far higher spec’d R2R resistors for the Formula being 0.016% where the LaScala is 0.1% Also the output impedance of t... | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) Muti-inputs corrupt the signal to a degree and this is more noticeable with Class D because of it's purist design. Please explain this in a more technical way why it is more susceptible to solid state Class-D than solid state linear?Cheers George | |
