| Amplification: what are the biggest advances of the last 40 years? Class D is probably the biggest innovation. They are close but still does not surpass the best of linear Class-A or A/B designs YET! I DID SAY YET!!! (before you Class-D junkie’s get your knickers in a knot)That will come maybe after they take to ... | |
| Amplification: what are the biggest advances of the last 40 years? biggest improvement is the GaN transistor and the new amps implementing them. Only if used to it's fullest, as Technics did in their SE-R1 (maybe in their new SU-R100) with 3 x higher switching frequency (1.5mhz) and 3 x higher output filter f... | |

| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. The Elekit TU-8500 is a fine tube preamp "IF" it was assembled well as it was sold in kit form. Don’t know about the rest, but you won’t need the Elekit with the Audiolab, as it’s an integrated amp with it's own preampCheers George | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? “Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever.” -Aristophances You must be describing yourself there, because all your shilling here, is "making out" that the Class-D you’ve got c... | |

| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? Get an inline stereo attenuator; then, just adjust it to get the reduction in gain that you’re looking for. And use it instead for the volume control, and get rid of the unnecessary gain, noise, and distortion, introducing active preamp.Cheers... | |

| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? 🤦♂️ Just look at their independently measured 2ohm wattage figures (if you can find them) then compare to their 4ohm wattage figure, and see if the 2ohm even tries to come close to doubling the 4 ohm wattage figure, and post it up **** **** and i... |
