| Class D question............... Let us not forget that class D amp in particular, before break in is complete at about 1000 hours in most cases, may sound anything but sweet and musical, leading to premature short shrifting and dismissal of otherwise excellent components by rush... | |
| Class D question............... Stanwal, I looked on the HifiCritic website, but did not find the actual article online, nor the list of models tested. There was only a paragraph listing brands: Bel Canto, NuForce, ProJect, Flying Mole, and the hint at observation on older consu... | |
| Class D question............... Coffeey, your stalwart apology of the 'ancient regime' is most commendable. As for Mr. Colloms, my recommendation is for him to have his ear canals pressure washed at his earliest convenience. After the treatment he may experience significantly re... | |
| Class D question............... Stanwal, you may want to consider reading the mags a little less, while auditioning a little more away from the beten path. . . at least, if you still do not find any class D devices of your liking, you can speak out of personal experience, rather... | |
| Class D question............... kory, there is a lot of variability in class D, but I'll try to answer never the less. As a group, class D amps seem to be quite linear through the frequency range. They tend to lack obvious empasized areas from the midrange down to the low bass. ... | |
| Class D question............... Nick778, what is your preferred PC for the Spectron amp. . . and why? Thanks, Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre According to Rod at Soundings in Denver, Kelly, JRDG's office manager, declared that Santa does exist! The factory has just had Criterion First Customer Ship (FSC) a few days ago. Looks like a few lucky audiophile in yet undisclosed locations may ... | |
| Class D question............... Gvickerschtick, Like amps of all other types, class D amps vary in performance, tembral signature, and price. . . it is difficult to make a broad-stroke statement on how class D sounds any longer. One common trait is that they take a very long tim... | |
| Power Output of Class "D" amps ICEpower based amps like JRDG, Bel Canto, WiredforSound, and Gilmore, double in power when speaker impedance is halved. . . just have a look at actual specs on respective manufacturer sites.Like with most amps I know of, of any technology, taking ... | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? The "D" in class D does not stand for digital. It's simply a sequencing convenience. . . A, B, [C], D. . . do not ask me where class C devices are, I have no idea. Recent Bel Canto amps have abandoned Tripath modules. . . . Bel Canto is now using ... | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? Coffeey, as you well know, the Bel Canto EVo2, Gen 2 in question is approx 3 or 4 generations old. . . it does not even faintly represent what best of breed class D amps can deliver today. Have you considered getting a fresher perspective than the... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Marty, no worry about squeeking benches or even singing pianists. . . we would have no Gould, schiff, and Brendel recording if producers ditched every take that contained squeeks, sharp intakes of breath, or impromptu solo vocalizations. | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano "If you were to hear what a piano like this actually sounds like in a living room, I don't think anyone here would be claiming that his system quite reproduces that sound."You are correct. I own a German Steinway model M. . . and piano from my sys... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Mapman, for the most refined results on piano using JRDG amps, you should consider models that either are equipped with active power factor correction like Continuum 500 and 312, or models that can be augmented by PC1 external PFC units like 201 a... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Right on Detlof. . . I found that in some cases, there are some details of piano sound that I can hear -- or perhaps feel -- only when when my own now totally inept fingers are at the keyboard. . . e.g. the absolutely magic harmonics of a Bosendor... |
