| Hypex N core module Proof will be in the pudding Ralph, 60db of negative feedback makes the hair stand up on my neck. As everything I have learnt and read from the masters about feedback, say it's in some cases a necessary evil in small amounts, 15-30db and hopefully... | |

| Paul Hynes power supply? Sounds like nothing compares to the paul hynes power supply I won't say nothing, Twisted Pair are very good. You were the one that mentioned the "big" $2100 cost of Paul's alternative.Cheers George | |
| Hypex N core module George, I’m a bit uncomfortable with this statement- Maybe I should have said in "most"A little feedback should "only" be used to clean things up a little, not to make design blunders look better on test. And if designed very well, all that neede... | |
| Recommended Preamp for pairing an Adcom 555II Amp and Theil CS 3.5 speakers I have tried the $49 Schiit Sys between my CD player and 555 and the sound quality was completely lifeless and flat as compared with my Adcom preamp and nowhere near the sound quality when I experimented with the tube preamp in there. The volume... | |
| Hypex N core module "Local feedback with a bit of global feedback is, actually, identical to full global feedback -- mathematical fact." You can have local without global, this is preferable in linear solid state, if the output stage is well designed you can do... | |

| Hypex N core module Class D amps are very sensitive to power i.e. Yes they have one of the most dirtiest power supplies made, SMP'sThat's why you'll see many caring Class-D manufacturers giving them more quieter linear supplies, just to null out one of the proble... | |
| Hypex N core module I’ve been reading for decades that negative feedback in traditional linear amps should be avoided since it (sorry, no pun intended) negatively affects its sonic performance, especially in the upper frequencies. I’ve taken this as the gospel truth... | |
| Paul Hynes power supply? I need a 4 rail power supply George If you don’t need big current and it’s for source equipment, get two and you and save a fortune if you can solder and get the kit form, or ready made and still much cheaper than $2100http://www.twistedpearaudio... | |
| Paul Hynes power supply? Paul makes very good power supplies, you should also look at Twisted Pear's onesCheers George | |
| Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC? Soekris also uses their own discrete resistor ladders, and going by George's post, has a NOS mode, I'd definitely consider their flagship dac 1541, which is way less than $2000. Thing is you don't even have to spend that much, the DAC1421 is t... | |
