| Best power amp for Martin Logan Expression 11a @mike_f, did you try the RM-200’s 1 ohm tap? Then you may not have enough wattage from it for loud listening. Cheers George | |
| Best power amp for Martin Logan Expression 11a You need an amp that can be comfortable driving this impedance and be stable as well, just about all tube amps and solid state amps that can’t do current may roll off the highs making them sound distant and subdued.Absolute Sounds test: "The imped... | |

| How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks I think it’s around 7-8K ohms. My preamp’s output impedance is 200 ohms. That’s not good, right? Your good with that, but these amp manufacturers that insist on inputs that low need to be beaten around the head, as no passives or most tube active... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Beyond the hype of LP (and new digital formats) what delayed people from finding out how great CD can be were (2) setbacks in digital playback.One was the giving-up of R2R DACs. This decoding scheme, despite it’s (potential) errors in switching,... | |

| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? The manufacturer trying to confuse people with the "tube" doesn't pass. It's not really a tube, just the bottle of one with the GaN module stuffed into it. I think he regrets doing it as he did say, "Company founder Alberto Guerra admitted th... | |
