| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ooops this last one in the 1988 uncompressed list, is 2014 issue and should be in the compressed list below. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/76394 | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD luisma31 despite of the possible flaws ladder dacs might have I personally prefer these over DS. I totally agree with science. OMG I’m listening to an almost 1st pressing original house of the holy I got from Discogs Get the original 1988 uncompr... | |
| Variac or not? adamant40 Variac or not?I acquired a Marantz 510M amp that had not been turned on for about 10 years.Yes a Variac is a must, a little at a time, in 20vac mains increments over an hour to full mains volts, so to "condition (form) all the electrol... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank god/ Yahweh or whatever for that👌 | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I know I said over and out, but I can’t let this BS go on.Not that I wan to engage George. Well you just did again, and still can’t see the forest for the trees Even though the mega dollar dac you "owned for years" (Light Harmonic Da Vinci) uses t... | |
| A great balanced R2R ladder DAC: Mhdt Lab Balanced Pagoda I use the Soekris DACs in the DAC we offer along with a 30lb power supply!Very nice, which Soekris diy boards did you use?http://www.soekris.dk/products.htmlCheers George | |
| Low gain preamp options I’m using a Khozmo attenuator in my DIY Good but I found Dact also switched smd resistors, is the best value for money without being charged stupid Hiend hifi money, who needs "roller bearings" on the shaft lets get serious really.http://www.dact... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt you just promoted what you were reviewing at the time which was all DS ESS stuff back then, you couldn’t get any of the new discrete R2R stuff, so it was bagged every time I bought it up as being the best conversion process for RedBook!!! The... | |
| Low gain preamp options @georgehifi,not sure where you're pulling 2k from. Just citing the worst of which Class-D's input impedance can be.Cheers George | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Were not talking about saving the planet, we’ve already ****** that up. And covid will be judge and jury on us for for doing that.We’re talking about the best sound here, please get your priorities right!Cheers George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD so I don’t know what GeorgeHiFi is even talking about Yes you do, your next statement below proves it. Contrary to what George has been screaming from his soap box forever about R2R being the ONLY way to go, a good DAC is not just about the DAC ch... | |
| Best skiinny floorstanders I love the way everyone brings their own personal passion to this thread, from detailed descriptions of favorite speakers to one person who took the time to research and provide links to listings of used speakers for sales that matched my criter... | |
| Low gain preamp options Because I want the option of using some low input impedance amplifiers, I don’t think a straight passive will be a good fit for me. Only valid reason in this case for not using one, but why anyone would want an amp with 2k input impedance is wrong... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? some Class AB amps sound better I say it again. If they can take it without strain on anything, those same A/B amps will sound even better again if their Class-A bias was turned up full, as you eliminate any xover distortion, as it never goes int... | |
| Shorting Amplifier Output At a guess you’ve blown some output transistors, drivers and emitter resistors, $100 approx parts. Looking at the dismantling layout, they didn't make it easy, the whole board has to come out. A good 4hrs labour, $400+ approx, in Australia some ch... |
