| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Think anti-Jeff Rowland Design Group style yep +1 Tim, the "glitz queens" and it probably sounds as good or better | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers Forgot to mention, also at 250hz there’s a 4ohm -60 degree phase angle load which will equate to around 2ohms EPDR ( equivalent peak dissipation resistance ), that will also be hard for a tube amp to drive. This is the power region, which will g... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers All you have to do is look at this impedance curve, with a 4ohm load and and negative 65 degrees of - phase angle at 3.5khz you have an amp busting load that would seem to be blow 2ohm!!! EPDR.Then again at 5khz to 20khz it goes from 2ohm down to ... | |
| DAC Upgrade George,It appears that you like the sound of R2R DAC’s and I assume you had the Holo Springs DAC? Which level did you have and would you assume that the revision 2 will be even better.It’s all written about here. From what I’ve been told the Level... | |
| DAC Upgrade Here is another affordable NOS R2R Multibit dac that's come to the market,https://www.audiomirror.com/product-page/tubadour-iii-non-oversampling-tube-dacCheers George | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. To my surprise [and disappointment], the sounds from the two DACs were utterly indistinguishable I take it you were only playing PCM RedBook cd? Cheers George | |
| How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks George,Your link to Gan-fet is from 2014 and Purely Emotional Audio is an offshoot of classdaudio. They have yet to produce anything using that name. Here is a an email back to me from the US company "ClassDAudio" regarding the use of the new Ga... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Here is a an email back to me from the US company "ClassDAudio" regarding the use of the new GaN Fet technology in any of their completed amps or very well priced Class-D kits they make, that use linear power supplies!!https://classdaudio.com/am... | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? Jason of NuPrime said the laser and transport assembly are Sony designs.Unless model no. of the laser is reveled, to see if it's easily available for replacement. I wouldn't recommend it or the Jay to anyone, because you could be buying a futur... | |
| DAC Upgrade You did say one good thing "look for soekris DAC. By measurements it’s pretty decent." I’ve had the Soekris 1321 dac here it was good, but both Holo and Linn CD12 were better.Cheers George | |
| DAC Upgrade +1!!! He's got the Delta Sigma disease, I'm afraid it's terminal once it's got this kind of hold. Then again maybe he's a dsd/sacd stream/download junkie, then there's no hope for a cure.Cheers George | |
| DAC Upgrade Ask anyone how owns a R2R Multibit dac or cdp while playing PCM Redbook that has the ability to switch on the fly between NOS and OS, and you'll get the majority saying the NOS sounds better to them for the reasons I mentioned above, which are:" I... | |
| DAC Upgrade I couldn’t use the link as it says too many page visits. Your not trying hard enough, I'm getting no fine.Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that NOS mode has no benefit in regards to transparency over OS mode, all it does is reduce the t... | |
