| Class D is just Dandy! The 60’s 70’s 80’s were the change over from germanium transistors to early silicon transistors, and the amps around at that time were ? to say the least. A good tube was better to own still. But the silicon transistor has advanced, so to circuit ... | |
| A rookie question re two amps, one pair of speakers Yes but, it needs to be said a speaker selection switch need to be used back to front.Amps to the speaker connections terminals and speaker to the amp terminals.Cheers George | |
| A rookie question re two amps, one pair of speakers One amp would be for my 2 channel system and the other (a receiver) would be for my home theater system. So long as I’m not powering both amps at the same time, is it safe/ok/advisable to connect both amps to one pair of speakers? In one word NO!... | |
| Worth fixing? crwindy What needs repair? if it’s a laser/mech which is in most cases, you can do it it far cheaper than $325. It uses a Philips CDM12.1 if you have a little mechanical ability it takes just 1/2hr to replace the whole mechanism with laser, not ve... | |
| Integrateds, which one?????????????? The Vandersteens are easy to drive and are efficient as well, I would look at a Parrasound Halo Integrated also, and for bonus you get a dac and phono stage init as well.Cheers George | |
| Esoteric K07X versus K05 If your hearts in Redbook CD, don't compromise on a "just in case" for downloads, as the Redbook will take a hit.Cheers George | |
| Esoteric K07X versus K05 The older "Multibit" players that I listed are only dedicated, geared towards converting PCM (Redbook CD)Where the newer ones "Delta Sigma conversion" may do sacd as well (which is DSD) with out the sacd flag. But for PCM replay as far as I believ... | |
| Esoteric K07X versus K05 Both the used models you listed have bitstream delta sigma AK4399 converters so they can do sacd (dsd with flag) with. If you seriously only want Redbook 16/44 24/96 I would look at a used Esoteric CDP that uses a Multibit converter as they do pcm... | |

| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile nightfall Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile.

| EXOGAL Comet or Shitt Yggdrasil DAC Depends on what your listening to.If your listening is PCM, be it Redbook CD 16/44 or 24/96, DXD, or even DVD-A then go for the Schiit Yggdrasil which is R2R Multibit conversion, the best way to convert PCM.If you want to download DSD then you hav... | |
| Help choosing integrated Good for you jjue, it sounds like it's of the same family as Krell type power, with plenty of current.Here is an Aussie review and test for you, I can't tell if it's bi-polar or mosfet output stage as they didn't do a 2ohm test on it.http://i.next... | |
