| The Future of Audio Amplification Nobody will be calling any class D amp "legendary" 10 years after it was sold. They’ll all be in landfills. Correct, not only do they sound questionable to many, but owners will be cursing the day they purchased them. As replacement boards will n... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming That is why Hi-res does not garantee you anything. There are also many poor DSD and MQA recordings as well. You can get the best version with the highest DR if you feed the Artist and Album name, in to this, and 8 x out of 10 it’s the earlier rel... | |
| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? It depends how loud you listen and what type of music you listen too, these ML2’s are absolute magic with Quad 57’s and they are 86db. But I wouldn’t have a party and play AC/DC through them. Yet with Wilson Audio Alexia at min 0.9ohm and a mean o... | |
| PrimaLuna Integrated Premium HP match Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 speakers. I did say it would probably sound good, but it won’t get the best from these speakers. Look what happens to the power transfer of the Prima Luna (black trace) into the "mild load" of "Kantor" speaker load, and the Sonus Faber’s are much more sever... | |
| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ The A2 was slightly more filled out. The tops and mids were very similar. And that will be what tells over time.Cheers George | |
| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? Here is a 3 angle pic of a pair of these magnificent Mark Levinson ML2’s 25w into 8ohm monoblock beasts.Yes you read right only 25w, but it’s pure Class-A, and the amp supposedly can double all the way to 1ohm or very close to it, 50w into 4ohm 10... | |
| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? ++++++++1More designers should look at these, legendary amps, and mimic them.They could drive anything, to given level, with out becoming a tone control.Cheers George | |
| PrimaLuna Integrated Premium HP match Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 speakers. juanselman PrimaLuna Integrated Premium HP match Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 speakers. Great speaker btw Juan, and need a great amp to do them justice.These speakers are very loosely "spec’d" as a 4ohm speaker??? But really you need a amp that can ha... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification kosst_amojan"SMPS’s are notoriously hard on caps." clearthink Do you have any "credible proof" of that as you Kosst is right. If you had to ask that, you’ve obviously had zero experience with smp’s and or with their caps. http://www.ijmlc.org/p... | |

| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ Forget the dB efficiency, you have the watts regardless, more important here is the current ability of the amp, and you have that too.You have the amplification, then out of the ones in your title, the Alexia 1 would be the choice.

| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming My streamed movies from VUDU are identical to the same played from a Blu-Ray disk. VUDU is better. Many don't agree" VUDU transfers UHD at a bitrate of about 15mbps while 4k UHD discs can reach 50-60 mbps. That’s ALOT of compression on VUDUs ... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming It’s the same as streaming movies, even though they say it is, the streamed picture and sound never seem to look or sound as good as playing the physical medium dvd or blu-ray disc.Cheers George | |
| Affordable integrated pure class A? This may be a very nice integrated to buy used later, linear class-A A/B said to have class-A sounding upper frequencies. And comes with a DAC inside. " I was struck by this combo's shimmering, translucent, finely detailed upper midrange to treb... |
