| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD But I have heard good non R2R beat meh R2R dacs. It’s how you use it That's why I stipulated, " you need to go to properly implemented R2R Multibit based dacs"Cheers George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Bricasti delta sigma beat the pants off the total dac’s discrete d/a converter chips. I don't think so, as we did just that for a day at Kramer's, a reviewer for 6 Moons, HIFI Australia, and Audio Esoteric as well as owning Soundstage Australia... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. they don’t require as much thermal runaway protection. You keep saying that and they have it, talk to Gryphon and Krell who make some of the highest biased Class-A amp there are, and what do they use??? BJT’s WHY??? Because they give the best cu... | |
| Anyone have modem problems with this site? noromance this is the only one I found, can you link the other thread.Cheers George | |
| Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i That's when I sprung for the BAT NOS 6H30 at $600/pr. Have been enjoying great, problem free sound ever since. That's why it's been nick-named the "Super Tube" It's been said that it performs closer to good solid state than any other tube... | |
| Anyone have modem problems with this site? Yeah getting this a lot. almost seems my computer is too fast (100mb's per sec) for the site to load." We're sorry, but something went wrong.Stuff happens. We're sorry you had to see this. Feel free to contact us if you keep seeing this problem r... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD mikelavigne MSB Select II is on another level to my ears. and i’m not alone with that conclusion. what i do directly compare the Select II to is my vinyl and RTR tape, as well as other recent digital units in my system. Hi Mike, totally with you... | |
| Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i From what I’ve read the real 6H30 properly implemented is very good, lower impedance, dynamic, better drive, transparent, more linear ect, and it seems if you don’t like it, your just being shown what the source sound is giving, without much colou... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Why do you think BJT’s are good for passing high current? If you don’t know this, then well???Look at any amp "tested" that can almost double it’s wattage for each halving of impedance right down to 2 or even 1ohm and 99.99% of the time it will b... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I assume we are talking about MOSFET transistors on the output stage? Nothing new. Ideal for delivering extremely high current. Bi-Polars (BJT's) are even better for giving current into low impedance's.Cheers George | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General I take this to mean your statement about a hybrid being a sales pitch ** is ** specific to MF. No there are others that do it, just to get the Tube guys interested as well.Just like McIntosh throw an output transformer on the end of what "could... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. @georgehifi What do you think of Classe CAM 400 Monos? I like them very much "but", what I didn’t like in one of the higher end older models, was they used an input opamp for the balanced circuit which then fed to the discrete single ended circui... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Surprisingly a Schiit Vidar The Vidar would be a good choice also for much less money, but the OP specified only two amp to choose from the Pass Labs and the Devialet.Cheers George | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General George, is your statement about a hybrid being a "sales pitch" in your opinion specific to MF, or in general and applicable to any hybrid amp manufacturer? I just look at where he used them in the Trivista sacd, that they could be bypassed and ... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. bubba12 This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp. Hi Mike, the C1's tested at are 85dB, so you need at least a 100wpch amp or higher depends how loud you wan... |
