| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @retrocrownfan Your ps200 amps are not Class A, they run squarely in class AB or B. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @jerryg123 do not get those batteries wet in your car Its inadvisable to submerge any car, gas or electric. I have a fried with solar in his home and he is still battling noisy power in his system when on battery power Your friend obvi... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll The car I drive around town is 100% electric, up-spec'd home solar system...so for me class A isn't a problem. Thank goodness because I presently have five different class A amps in residence. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Better powered speakers do indeed utilize specific amps for specific drivers with the crossover before the amps rather than after. With that said, I'm not a fan of powered monitors. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @ronboco Why does an onboard amp in an active speaker pair better than separate amplification ? Are the drivers different than a passive speaker? Are the crossovers different than in a passive speaker? It seems the only thing active does is eli... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl Both can sound exceptional, neither is absolutely the best nor is anyone’s playback chain accurate. I’m not after accurate, just enjoyable. | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? Not all power "conditioners" are created equal nor are any two home/power delivery situations identical so there is no universal answer to your question. It also depends on the amp (class A or A/B). I have a Niagara 1200 in one system and I notice... | |

| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? @esarhaddon No, I was talking about recorded music for which the mixes were tailored for the intended audience and how they might play it back. Alot of music was compromised because they made certain that it was optimized for AM or FM rebroadcas... | |
| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? @esarhaddon Your premise is potentially fallable. You assume engineering and production for best sound quality may have been the goal…which isn’t always the case. More than a few productions may have been mixed to optimize sound from a boombo... | |
| DAC’s Holms…always try to identify the limiting factor…spotify is certainly one limiting factor, the ipad another…whats the rest of your system? | |
| Absolutely marvelous story and a fun jazz-ish recording @tablejockey The most interesting part of the article is that the guy wasn’t a player for most of his life. Proof that if some is determined to learn a musical instrument, it doesn’t matter how old you are-medical conditions aside if present. ... | |
| Absolutely marvelous story and a fun jazz-ish recording @tablejockey Indeed, HOWEVER, if you read the whole article you will learn that the narrative to which you refer was just that, a narrative … for a concept album. Edward Blankman is a fictional character (“Blank-man”). The artist is the Brend... | |
