| New GaN Class-D poweramp from USA manufacturer Class-D Audio, Corona CA That wasn’t humor Doug and you know it, it was just a confrontational post.Instead you could have given something constructive towards a US company trying to break into GaN based Class-D amplification at a very good budget price instead, even "if"... | |

| Preamps opinion spitzer45 You’ve got 2 x gains you can have on the Bryston 23dB or 29dB, this will be ideal for a Schiit Freya+ pre SE or XLR, 3 different peamps in one passive, tube or solid state. And it’s got remote.https://www.schiit.com/products/freya-1Ch... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I find them to be extremely unattractive...and extremely overpriced. I have no desire to own a Wilson Audio loudspeaker system. Never have, never will. It’s also my prerogative to opine that $300K is ridiculous for these uber ugly monstrositie... | |

| Break-in of a Class D amp? So indeed it is the same board. ICEPower 1200AS2. Comparing pictures, the only REAL difference, is the AC transformer has more "vibration isolation goo" packed between the windings and the core/cage. While the high's are still not as prono... | |

| Leaky capacitors need replacement? I will see if @clio09 has any of the original capacitors he can send meGeez! why go that way, they look like old cheap stuff that may need to be formed, because they are so old, and the same thing may happen again.Just get the better Nichicons I l... | |
| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? It seems that other things could burn up if a higher amperage fuse is in place. Yes it will destroy your amp if something is pulling too much current I am compelled to simply stick to the mfg specs for something that I don’t understand because I d... | |
| Mirage M1 with SET amplifier As you can see while needing watts >50w+) for their low efficiency, they don’t need an amp with brute current because they are a relatively easy drive load even for a PP tube. https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/mirMir1fig1.jpg Stere... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? The guy I bought it from said it was 3 years old. Looking at how tarnished the solder is, the grey color and cosmetics of the plastic wrap on those caps, and how long they are (much shorter now), and that they’ve already leaked, I’d say more than ... |
