Review: Merrill Audio Taranis Amplifier
Guido - Thanks for that correction on "typical" Class D input impedance. 
Review: Merrill Audio Taranis Amplifier
That's great you heard the Veritas, Don. Didn't know you were familiar with Merrill. They are certainly out of my league too (Thor's also would be a stretch, for that matter). I was mainly looking for a back up SS amp. Thought Class D because I al... 
Good amplifier repair shop near Norwalk, CT?
Hi Sm_76. Is 60 miles too far? That's supposedly driving distance between Norwalk and Litchfield CT.I had inquired about a factory authorized shop for Hegel gear. Approved Audio Service in Lichfield was named. Haven't had occasion to use them yet,... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
That someone supporting policies of the current administration could even bring up the word "truth" in their defense is BITTERLY ironic. Hey Siddh, you don't agree with what Dweller wrote? Feel free to step right up and give the O-man ALL of your ... 
Has anyone used an Audioquest Jitterbug?
I ordered one from Music Direct to use with well-broken in AQ Dragonfly and headphones (Senn 600s driven by Asgard 2) from a Macbook Air. After almost daily use for at least a couple hours a day for about a month, I could not hear a benefit so ret... 
50k people attend concert with no live music
Thanks for that link, Lowrider. Looks like the answer to my question is, "Not necessarily!" 
50k people attend concert with no live music
"Now there are dance clubs where the kids all listen to their ipods...that's the weirdest concept of all."Lowrider...are they at least all listening to a common source? i.e., the same music at the same time?? 
Review: Merrill Audio Taranis Amplifier
Don - They say, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Who do you think got me thinking about Class D? Thanks for the invite. I'll get in touch on that. The Joules look beautiful in your pix. Guessing they sound that way too. 
I Tunes to my System
Timru's suggestion of the Mediabridge mini to RCA connector from headphone out is certainly easy. Not that much harder but possibly providing a step up in sound quality for not a lot of money would be to add something like an AudioQuest Dragonfly ... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Swampwalker - yes..."amazing" is a totally fitting adjective for Alvin Lee's playing on CG. Another good 'un from back then "Undead". Spotify has them (remasters) and the sonics are very good. Hope you get inspired to go have a listen. 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Cricklewood Green by Ten Years After. Can't believe Alvin Lee's fingers didn't spontaneously combust making this one. 
Music for cats...
Too funny Tls. Had no idea (but it kind of figures). 
Upgrading - what amp to choose
Hello again, Willie. I'm not planning to upgrade the Gungnir at this point. I'd gotten a bug to try something new and became interested in Class D amplification. Discretionary $ are going into a Taranis amp from Merrill Audio. I've really not done... 
Upgrading - what amp to choose
Hey Willie - I was not being sarcastic or ironic with my KLEI comment. Knew you thought highly of their products so figured that's what you would use. I checked out your DIY IC procedure on your system page. (I'm guessing your haven't yet updated ... 
Upgrading - what amp to choose
Well I, for one, am dying to know what you upgraded to! especially from V-Link to DAC. I'm guessing you went to some flavor of KLEI Innovations on the ICs from your DAC? Let us know. Glad things are sounding better.
