| CD v Streamed do you feel a need to “re-educate” people that they shouldn’t be enjoying playback that you subjectively view as inferior? Let’s keep in mind that we are not talking about something like the difference between mp3 and lossless here. We are esse... | |
| CD v Streamed If you are experiencing different dynamics that is down to the master used We've been saying that all along also, as they usually use the later versions/re-issues of albums which are normally more compressed than the originals.But what we want ... | |
| BW 800 D3 Floor Speakers drrmtaylor These B&W 800’s have a nasty load right though the bass where all the grunt is needed from 60hz to 300hz, and need amps that have big current dumping balls https://www.stereophile.com/images/511B800fig1.jpgThere are minima of 3.15 ... | |
| A decent preamp to complete my setup? bacom15 A decent preamp to complete my setup? Your NuForce STA200 only needs a minuscule 0.45v input for full wattage output. And it’s got 50kohm input impedance, good for anything. Which makes an ideal candidate for a unity gain or low gain pream... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? Good for you Ralph, you need a different income stream direction now, with tubes waning. | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Removed, just not worth it | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Still fooling yourselves into thinking you heard a difference ..... Also these fusers claim there's a difference in inserted direction with an ac mains fuse.Cheers George | |
| So done with audiophile fuses low cost fuses made out of a witches brew of poorly conductive metals. This is just something someone would say that has absolutely no idea. You need to be schooled in Ohm’s law/s, Kirchoff’s laws etc etcThey have to have a certain level of resis... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? https://ibb.co/gt4qW9xChallenge your self, nothing I said was aimed at you, yet you took it to heart, wonder why.Whatever, your new class-D will tell if it’s remotely equal to the better high A- biased linear Class-|A/B amps, if it ever sees the l... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" Furniture or a large rack between the speakers can reduce depth. Your correct this is the biggest killer for depth, there should be nothing between the speakers as far back as possible, even the wall should go, and leave small 1mt sections behind ... | |
| CD v Streamed Wow that's what I call being persistent, but as you now also find the vary different DR's of the same album.And when you look at the Dynamic Range data base site https://dr.loudness-war.info/, it's mostly the older recordings with the better DR, a... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? It’s no wonder he didn’t like a class D amp -- most have vanishingly small distortion. They have other problems also, like the Ice-Power’s 1200AS2 that has massive phase shift from it’s output filter way down into the mids (red trace) https://ib... | |
| CD v Streamed And, you can’t be sure that the version of a piece that you’re listening to on the CD was engineered the same as the version you’re getting while streaming. Probably wasn’t.If you can find out your streamed versions cat no. then compare it to othe... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? Facts areEveryone likes what good Class-D’s do in the bass on loads that are not too severe, but many hear some thing not quite right with Class-D in the upper mids/highs with many speakers, and this is it’s Achilles heel.Technics (SE-R1/SU-R1000)... |
