| How much power needed for B&W 683? To get the very best from these.You will need an amp the can deliver good current down to 2ohms with this sort of impedance and -phase angle in the lower regions. Think Krell type amps with bi-polar (BJT) output stages, not mosfet or tube.http://w... | |

| Class D Technology What I’ve been trying to get across re the Class-D’s switch noise and it’s associated output filter, trying to eliminate that noise without effecting the audio band. This is a page by the actual component manufacturer that allows the new mega expe... | |
| New Wilson - Wamm Master I'd love to see an independent impedance v -phase angle graph on these, as the Alexia's needed a Mack truck to drive them to get the very best out of them. Down to point nine of an ohm (.9ohm) in the worst place, at 65hz!!!Cheers George | |
| looking for a quality integrated that allows for bypassing of the preamp section lcherepkailooking for a quality integrated that allows for bypassing of the preamp sectionLooks like the Pass Labs Int (integrated) series have preamp inputs, so you can use it as a poweramp.http://hometheaterhifi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/pa... | |
| New Wilson - Wamm Master stereo5Kind of ugly looking although they probably sound good. Nah, I love a speaker that looks at you like your it's next meal.Cheers George | |
| D'Appolito on What Matters Something to mull over.There is a question to be asked with D’Appolito speakers, that have the critical midrange handled by two drivers. For them to be free of any type of problems, the two drivers that are doing the same job, have to be 100% T/S... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... HDCD PB Nightclub, wow had no idea it was worth that!!!!http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nightclub-by-Patricia-Barber-CD-Sep-2010-Premonition-/141523387053?hash=item20f37382ad:g:u-sAAMXQPatTIJ8B Cheers George | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... I sat through and heard a demo with and without MQA and all the spiel that goes with it. " Neuroimaging tests show activity in different parts of the brain; transients trigger activity in Wernicke’s Area (in the boundary between the parietal and t... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... To me a HDCD disc, decoded using PMD100 or PMD200, far outperforms what MQA can do with the same disc without HDCD.Cheers George | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Also what bass driver or drivers do they use? Thanks.mapmanWithout being EQ'ed the lowest bass I have heard from a large sized bookshelf, has been a pair of Sonus Faber Extremas,... | |
| Class D Technology noble100Georgelofi acknowledges the benefits of class D but mentions its low cost in a manner that suggests it’s not a further benefit,Now that’s twisting words. I suggested that future technology in higher switching frequency will be of great ben... | |
| Class D Technology Pass labs 250 INT - but while I am sure they are really great - are HUGE and serious $$$.In Australia the Belcanto Ref600’s are $8k around the same as the Pass 250 int.The new BC Ref600 monoblocks use the latest NC500 Hypex modules with moded from... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... No idea, he is very contactable. All I know with my Linn CD12 which has 4 x PCM1704's and PMD200 his 24bit HDCD Reference Recordings rule. The only time I heard it bettered was with the sound track from DVD-A, I believe the same can be got from th... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Machina Dynamica’s been numero uno here for like forever..Dunno about that Geoff, maybe in the deepest depths of the African Congo.Cheers George |
