| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? I was just making a joke on the SMPS. I would build a LPS for this amp also plus use upgraded caps, resistors and wiring as @dgarretson has done. What a gift to DIYers from Mr. Pass. | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? Well if the Mean Well SMPS is good enough for Nelson Pass, then perhaps it’s good enough for us 🧐 | |
| Most annoying post period Many of the posts demeaning the benefits fuses, tweaks and cables bring to our music making systems. | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius Agreed! | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I see. Seems synergy with the amp is key. Input sensitivity plays a role in this for sure. | |
| Tubes or not Never required, but sometimes preferred. | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius Seems my point was missed. Mr. Johnson will never respond wether true or not and sometimes the right thing to do has nothing to do with who is right. Carry on. | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius The man has passed away and cannot defend himself against what anyone on the net cares to say. I am uncomfortable with these latest posts and don’t think they should remain here. Mods take a look. Just not the right place or time. | |
| Tubes or not MHDT Orchid for $1100. Get the Western Electric tube. Amazing dac that will make you smile! | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Cal3713, Ed offers a trial period and you can play with one. No caps, resistors or volume control in the signal path! The balance control is not in the signal path! The selector switch is, but I don’t have a selector Switch as I only need one inp... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Charles, After trying many amps with the Lyngdorf I found one that bettered the 2170 as a stand alone unit. The Clayton amp. I love this amp. If offered more dynamic impact, improved natural tone, greater bass and mid bass foundation as well as a ... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? @t_ramey. My unit has remote. The volume changes very little from start all the way up to say 11 o’clock on the dial. The volume then ramps up quickly from 11:30-1:30 where most of the volume increase takes place. While this is a pretty narrow r... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I will not touch the caps per Ed’s advice. Just the wire and RCA jacks. Ed is pretty adamant that changing out the caps will make no difference based on his testing and design. I must say the unit sounds wonderful so I will trust his comments. ... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I have a Clayton Audio S40 pure class A amp. Sensitivity to full volume is 1.3v so a great match with The Truth. @thaluza Vampire makes some very good rca jacks for only $35 or so per set on sale. I am also thinking of direct soldering my ICs a... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Well @thaluza that is a great question. It sure does not need any upgrades to please me, but every piece of gear I own has my signature somewhere in it. Ha! Not much to do as the design is simple and so unique. I plan to wire the input and outpu... |
