| Switching from solid state to tubes Sonus Faber Olympica II There are no impedance /phase graphs done on these yet. But Sonus Faber rates them at 4ohm nominal, which means they could even dip down to 2ohms. It seems they need an amp with a bit of current judging by this Sonus Fa... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I do though see some advantages regarding heat generated (if that is a concern.. for me it isn’t) and size/weight. They offer a ton of power in a small mass versus trying to heft around a 90 pound Class A/B amp or an even heavier (with less power... | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs Surprisingly no one suggested the usual suspect, Schiit Yggdrasil. No personal experience but lots of positive reviews and lots of love... Seeing it was bought up, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the Schiit Yggdrasil.But I believe the OP wanted "Dated but... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! So my question is with the main boards themselves being made by a third party, how does one go say from a $1400 D-Sonic amp to a $5000 Bel Canto (or other similar) amp (per pair) up to a Merrill Veritas at $11K plus (pair)? I realize a nicer cha... | |
| Recommended power amp for Energy Veritas v2.8 The JC1,s in hi bias class-A mode should be a very nice match for these. Cheers George | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Poor George...he wants evidence from measurements vs. using his ears... Both sunshine both, as it should be, can't have one without the other.Cheers George | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs kalali Search for PCM1704 and the DACs that use them. goldenear1948 Kalali has given great advice if RedBook pcm is you priority, search here on this massive list of just about every dac or cdp made for ones which use the PCM1704 or even the PCM... | |
| Buying used/vintage Martin Logan speakers +infinity for ESL's.I love them, tried/listened to just about any else but I always come back to ESL's.I now own the Monolith III's with the "new then" (2008) aluminium vapour deposited panels which Jim Power sent me. I use far better bass drivers... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! erik_squires OP3,082 posts01-29-2018 4:20amSorry George, as always, you are going to have to pivot from one point to another by yourself. If you need a dance partner it is not me.Erik That's a cop out Eric, your the one who said said: " Most ... | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs In my opinion all these are the best for doing Redbook pcm and the last, and in my view the best of the R2R Mutibit dacs, before they were stopped because of high cost of manufacture EG: laser trimming resistors ect. Now they’er making a big comeb... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Most Class D amps I know of do considerably better. I'm more than a little surprised PS Audio put that out there. Please show just one Class-D, with a clean 1khz sine wave, without using the Audio Precision's auxiliary AUX-0025 passive l... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! shadorne6,590 posts01-28-2018 8:06amLittle known factoid.AES17 brick wall filters allow Class D Amps to report specifications IGNORING all the switching noise above 20KHz!!!! And there is a LOT of noise.... Stereophile do similar now testing Cl... | |
| Opinions requested Georgehifi, Funny you should mention Krell. Yes they were previously driven via a KAV-2250 which gave up the ghost therefor the Adcom now. That Krell should have been special when it was working? What about the Parasound Halo A21, similar to K... | |
| Which preamp for a pass labs? All the "balanced" hype is pure BS. It has it's place with long runs of interconnect >10mts for less noise.But you are more right than you know, when you say it's BS. As many sources, preamps and poweramps with balanced inputs or outputs a... | |
| Opinions requested In your opinion would the Rogue Pharaoh at 185 into 8ohms and 350 into 4 ohms be acceptable to drive the 803s I'm not a Class-D lover yet for full range, in the future maybe when semiconductor technology allows it to do the things I'd like to ... |
