| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? The trouble with Class D is the frequency of the switching noise, (the saw tooth you seen on the top of this bandwith limited 10khz square wave) http://www.facstaff.bucknell.edu/esantane/movies/10kHz10v4ohmsquare.JPG In the future when the compone... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising bsmithsomeone explain to me why cd’s sound better to me than the file of that cd.I’m with you on this bbsmith, playing the original cd always to me sounds more "wholesome, natural and sweeter" compared to a ripped or even downloaded ones, which to... | |
| Which Chip? It uses the Cirrus Logic Cs4397 delta sigma dac, a Cirrus Logic CS8420 sample rate convertor, and a Philips transport.Cheers George | |
| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? The sources shouldn’t change as much the sound as the amps may, and they should be easier for him to do, if he knows his way around output buffer opamps on cdp’s. The tube output cdp will be a different animal,, but should also be doable. Cheers G... | |
| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? Unfortunately there are no circuits online for any of these, but a good tech will be able to give you 6db of gain on any of these for 1hr’ish labour. I would look at the source to increase the gain on (less feedback), as many are just opamp output... | |
| CD players that make for a great transport meschI would go for ones on this link that use Philips or Sony laser/mechs and look on the net to see if in the future you have spare lasers still available.Please don't all rush this link,, or you may crash his server.http://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD... | |
| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? It may be safer easier to up the gain on the output stage buffer of your source/s. What amps do you have at the moment that you want to have more gain with?Cheers George | |

| Redbook Keeps Surprising PS: sboje your Meridian is a CS4390 a Delta Sigma not the best for Redbook so is the Auralic Vega also a DS convertor.If you want the best for redbook conversion look for a dac that use R2R Multibit. The price of the Auralic is $3.5K there are ma... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising sbojeNo confusion, just read this by MoJo music, it explains it all simply.Remember pcm (is Redbook), and R2R Multibit converts it "bit perfect". DS delta/sigma (bitstream, single bit) does DSD, but only a facsimile of Redbook (pcm)Cheers George"W... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but The bass problems cited don’t just exist with passive preamps. Yes there are some sources that have output coupling caps, and if they lose bass into a 10kohm passive, they will also lose the same bass into many class D amps some linear amps some o... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but All the above 5 post have valid statements, the best preamp is no preamp, this is closest to a straight piece of wire sound.Source direct or through a simple direct coupled passive is the most transparent/dynamic way of hearing the source. You may... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? First I’d like to thank Dave and Greig very much for their positive findings and review on how the Lightspeed Attenuator sounds in their systems, both of you are using the standard (linear Wall wart) power adaptor. I would like to hear from you wh... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Mitch you say "controlling the interconnects". There are two parameters interconnects have that could influence the sound with a passive, resistance and capacitance. And they would have to be very high to have any effect. Resistance is nothing to ... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Not really, like I said over 90% of systems are a perfect match for a 10kohm passive, it's the few oddball high impedance tube output sources that are the trouble. eg: like the well know "cottage industry" dac with a 12AX7 output tubes at 3kohms!!... |
