| suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists I was curious about my Atoll A/B integrated and I wrote to Atoll about this question. They responded right away. They said, "The IN200 works in Class A up to about 40W under 8 Ohm. The switch to Class AB is quite slow."Possibly of interest. | |
| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? How about some brutal honesty along with some low, low prices:"Soiled and despoiled.""Down but not out.""Ridden hard" | |
| Photos of my system @barkeyzee1 It sounds delightful, luscious! And I do have some (a lot) of envy for many of the really beautiful systems and setups. Platforms for the amps, a gorgeous rack, lovely room, etc. At some point, I'll get there, but to start out I needed... | |
| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? I wrote to Atoll and they responded right away. They said, "The IN200 works in Class A up to about 40W under 8 Ohm. The switch to Class AB is quite slow."Does anyone here have a sense of what that might mean in practical listening terms? | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? I’m not sure if you’re looking for towers or bookshelves, but after listening to a decent range of speakers, Salk and Fritz speakers consistently evoke the word "honest" when I listen to them. In a musical piece, the represented instruments -- whi... | |
| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? Thanks, oldhvymec.I think you all can see the direct interest in this question. Many people on this forum debate different classes of amp, including Class A vs. Class A/B.If, for a given set of speakers/usage, a Class A/B amp is running nearly all... | |
| Do chinese tube preamp/amp clones interest you? Just a question. Do those here who object to buying Chinese goods (not just fakes, but any at all) make sure that there are no Chinese parts inside of the non-Chinese goods that they buy? Because if a product has Chinese parts inside of it then Ch... | |
| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? Thanks, @twoleftears I'll try to track down reviews to see if this was measured. | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I read many good things about them when I was doing research about this for my system. I'm not sure what you're seeing, but one other way to gauge gear is how often it's put up for sale, used. Some gear is very hard to find used, while other stuff... | |
| Speaker Setup Changes for Different Amps? @bhvf does it make sense that one would need to tweak speaker positioning depending on the amp or preamp one is using?I don't have an answer but this is a fantastic question! Thanks for posing it. | |
| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume @jmphotography +1 on the comments above.I had a bit of brightness and thanks to advice from @decooney I got some nice KT77's for my outputs and they were a happy change from some rather harsh JJ KT88s. A change of signal tube in the preamp also ma... | |
| Experiment question about sound treatment project @goose Agreed, but he seems to have access to materials. I am not going to do things that way but it's interesting to see the concept he's deploying. | |
| Experiment question about sound treatment project @rix Nice photos and system. Interesting solution. Question: does the frame vibrate and does the fact that the rug doesn't go all the way behind each speaker matter? | |
| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume +1 Mesch. I’m not sure but the "synergy" with the current arrangements might be affected, also. (In other words, you could mess it up by changing!) There would be a wide range of speakers amenable to your present arrangement, too, so you’re not re... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @sokogear -- when I close my eyes, the music sounds more intense for sure, and the food does as well. Is there something to be gained, experientially, in having a combinatory experience with, say both sight+taste? Or to put it in more organic term... |
