| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @tweak1 While I agree with many of your points, consider that ALL aftermarket improvements to engines/suspensions... happened because of DIYers who had the intellect to see the shortcomings in the OEM design and the ability to improve on them, ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ricevs I’m not the one making claims about a product you’ve never seen or heard. I don’t doubt that in your experience with the gear you’ve had at hand that your experience is valid. With that said, I get mild indigestion when some hop on a ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ricevs What little credibility you might have once had is now gone. You have basically just said Ralph doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to op amps in his own design. You've never heard it and yet you imply that he didn't he... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ricevs So what you are saying must be that you have listened to the new Class D amplifiers from Atmasphere, you have tried the modifications you suggested in these amps and you have identified each of your mods as improvements? You state tha... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @atmasphere A master class above on diplomacy and intelligence. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ricrevs I’m certain Ralph just slapped his forehead that his five decade journey in audio design is now complete. Congratulations Ralph! | |
| Ampzilla 2000 v2 and Mcintosh MC402 @viethluu A subtle nuance to your comment above regarding your Mac preamp. I’ve owned a few Mac preamps through the years. They are feature rich, inoffensive, reliable and trustworthy. They commit no major sins, however, yours interfaced well... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer @charles1dad +1 Recently changed from Innuos Zenith Mk3 to the Grimm MU1. Full disclosure, I loved my Innuos and could have lived happily ever after. If that describes you, if you are happy with what you already have then don’t demo a Grimm. I... | |
| Why not? 1) AQUA includes a decent power cable with Hubbell style terminations. 2) The dealer channel would prefer manufacturers not include upmarket power cords as that is a significant profit center for the dealer. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @mbmi I have not heard the new Class D offering…but I do believe Ralph has earned the respect of most of the rational audiophile community whether they purchase Atmasphere or not. I’ll call you on your claim that you heard the Atmaspere class d am... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ozzy62 +1 | |
| Did you notice.... @alfa100 CD is better. My kit: Aurender to MSB DAC. MSB TRANSPORT to MSB DAC. STREAMING OPTIMIZED WITH UPTONE ETHERREGEN SWITCH , AUDIOQUEST Diamond USB , AUDIOQUEST Jitterbug . Power cables all exactly the same ;Transparent Audio Reference.... | |
| Did you notice.... @czarivey What you describe is likely an accurate depiction of your experience in your system. An average cd player likely outperforms a sub-optimally implemented streaming setup. The cd player is plug and play and the designer made his ... | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? @bassdude I certainly meant no offense and I apologize if my education doesn’t measure up to your standards. It has, however, served me well thus far. You were discussing in your post, I believe, your angst with the expansion of the money su... | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? @bassdude Respectfully, you are making a circular argument. When were prices last “fair” in your estimation? Government policy and dock worker practices? Did you sell your car because you were ready to sell or were you selling to monetize... |
