| AudioQuest PowerQuest 2 or alternative? After watching a YouTube video ( audio science review) of testing one of PS audios new power plants P12 AC regenerator and the output was worse than the inputted AC power id say get a good surge protector and don't worry about it. | |

| Amp suggestions for a pair of Audio Note AN-K/SP-e (part 2) After owing ANE’s for a few years I’d say make sure yo give them more power than you think. Audio note tends to over state their efficiency by quite a bit. I found my 300b amp (8wpc) was just not enough to really flesh out the bass properly, think... | |
| Question about Class A Another option is a used class A amp, -Luxman L series from the early 80's they are quite good and reasonable cost. also one of the higher powered class A amps out there at 50wpc. they also do not go into class AB/B. L530,L540,L560 these amps ar... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive Quad audio returns, seems everything from the past is relevant again. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... The question I always had with measurements, are we even measuring the correct things for human hearing parameters? | |
| Break- In Reality and the Choice of Amp You should consider a low output SET amp for those, 300b's, 2A3's sound quite nice on Klipsch heritage line. | |
| Chip amps, not spoken about much, except on the diy sites. Are not chip amps sort of gong the other way as far as reducing the amount of component in the signal chain? I'm saying this as a chip usually has hundreds of components on it even thought they are very small. Its an interesting question a frien... | |
| Mini lores I owned the regular Lore's for about a year, I would say they are a great deal for the money. quite efficient too, sound very good with excellent extension and sound staging. They are defiantly made to a price point though and the cabinets are the... | |
| Help With DSP Options As a new to DSP person i have a question, do you not need to have outputs in the same quantity as the drivers your running? like for example a two way speaker would need two outputs for the speaker one for the bass/mid driver the other for the twe... | |
| The choice of a discrete op amp to replace the op amp chip. Burson Audio out of Australia make some excellent discreet op amp replacements. Supreme Sound Opamp V6 - Burson Audio I've used a few over the years in various components with excellent results. they are much larger than a chip op-amp though s... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? Rick Beato did an interesting take on this idea and he blamed the music executives for not doing enough for the younger musicians. paying hundreds of millions for music rights of old artists but not supporting younger ones. | |
| Help me solve another speaker hum thread :) if its not DC or other power issues coming from your line, dimmers are bad for adding noise on the line, than its probably a tube. Try tapping the tubes when on see if your getting any microphonics out of any of them. Try taping them quite hard to... | |
| McIntosh MCD 201 CD/SACD player questions about viability of an older piece. Thanks guys. As this was part of an offer for some speakers (tannoys monitor gold 15’s) sale I was doing. I would essentially get the CD player for $1500can$ so about the price of a new Cambridge transport. It boils down to reliability and obv... |
