| Puritan 156 and Furman Review here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/puritan-audio-psm156-review-ac-filter.26136/ Conclusions: As you see, I have run a number of tests to give the PSM156 ample opportunity to show it can do something to improv... | |
| New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer And that’s just what most of them are, differences. I really didn’t find most of the differences an improvement to the album. My experience, exactly. It's weird because one hears a difference and thinks, "That's better" -- at first. But keep l... | |
| One Sub or Two? It probably depends on the room, but I'm surprised that I'm the only one on this thread who thinks that variable phase is important. I may be the only one who measured with REW, but I could see that variable phase was critical for integration. | |
| One Sub or Two? I went with F12SE Rythmiks because of the ability to dial them in variably (rather than 0 or 180, as the case is with REL subs) to a pretty tricky room. I got a pair. Love them. I have an older REL, too, and it is my third sub. The subs are coordi... | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? dehavilland 6SN7 style preamp into hypex amp. Very nice combo but still a bit sterile in mids and bright/forward in highs. | |
| Quicksilver silver 60 amplifiers There's one on sale at USAM right now. | |
| Upgrading specific components in a tube amplifier @carlsbad2 Thanks for the detailed information in your posts. What’s your answer to the other question the OP asked: In your experience, do such modifications lead to noticeable improvements in sound quality? I don’t see that you’ve relayed wh... | |
| Upgrading specific components in a tube amplifier I have upgraded my Quicksilver Mono 60. I have to admit -- it is VERY hard to compare how things sound after it’s been a while. Auditory memory is pretty bad. I think I hear differences but I have no control group to check. What I do know is that... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead I love my mono blocks but honestly have not been able to compare them to an integrated version of themselves because none exist. I'm curious to hear what people say, but how many apples-to-apples comparisons are there, really? | |
| Impressions & comparisons of Belles 150a Reference Power Amplifier Ver 2 @zarf Do you need a stout backup amp that won't disappoint for a reasonable price? This might be a fine choice. Nope, I've got my Pass. I think this case is closed for me, though I have to admit I shop rather that read the news.... | |
| New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer @zarf Most welcome. I think the expletive tells a rather BIG story, namely that DF, who is hard to impressed, was blown away by Dias's solo. I think the information content of that expletive really shows why blunt moderation is a bad thing. | |
| One box solution +1 @grannyring I've heard great things from very discriminating folks on this forum (such as brownsfan) about Lyngdorf. | |
| Dynaudio Special 40's vs Wharfedale Super Lintons I probably sound like a broken record, but I really like the Fritz Carbon 7's over the Dynaudios. | |
| Impressions & comparisons of Belles 150a Reference Power Amplifier Ver 2 I personally think your not going to hear a significant difference That's my guess. A friend said that though my Pass XA25 was less power on paper, he didn't think the Belles would be significantly different enough. It's also 20 years old. It'... | |
| World’s Best Cable 7 awg I had the same experience with my Analysis Plus Oval 8's. |
