| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? You guys are pretty eager to spend my funds.😁 … I had an ifi phono stage on my list for a while. Never got a listen to it, but the reviews were good and the price was low. In the end, I ended up spending a bit more… but at that end it seemed l... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters holmz Confused by your comment about monoblock amps. Seeing the long cables, I would argue the benefits of MBs. The amp in that photo is a stereo amp. The speaker cables are Tel Wire cables, which while more valuable then some are not in ... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps I currently have my main system in the living room, which is also connected to TV and used for background music, so the hassle of warm up time, no stand by, etc. is leading to less listening. Also, I'm trying to avoid something that heats up as m... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @tinear123 your posts were refreshing change, so hate to see an adult leave the thread. Since I am considering these amps, it would also be nice to read more, should you have further comparisons of this amp with any others. | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters For those who have doubts or just refuse to even consider this, how intelligent is that, I have a couple of ideas you can easily apply (in certain cases) to visualize your speaker's output. The first and easiest way is by using an APP for cell ph... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I don't think it is luck to have an amp that measures well and sounds good. I think it is the goal of many skilled engineers/designers. There are plenty of amps that measure very well and are very successful in the marketplace. There are also man... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters Made these last month... ^This^ sort of is becoming a sales pitch for mono blocks. I usually like looking at a mono block amp on the floor in front of the speaker, but the Haus-boss like them behind the speaker (out of view). I am not sur... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner What makes you think I have a dedicated room? It took a while, but using google “systems audiogon thyname” I found a room, that does not look like what my haus-boss would abide as a multifunction room. Hence I assumed that would be called “ded... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @holmz I'm talking about stacking them on top of each other, on one rack shelf. The company that makes my class D amp often shows their monoblocks stacked. but reviewers and owners say it reduces sound quality. I tend to prefer short interconnec... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? OK real talk time. Maybe try great MM cart. The SUT is not the strong point of your Allnic. Keep everything same and try a Nagaoka MP500 or whatever else floats your boat similar? Hana is OK too, not great but very even handed. As we know I... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Another brand of class D monoblocks loose sound quality when stacked. Do these Atma-Sphere loose any sound quality when stacked? Thanks, aldnorab @aldnorab What does “stacked” mean in your context? I would be prone to only stacking one ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @kuribo Seems a shortage of such in this thread which is overpopulated with small minded intellectually feeble name callers who can neither rationally defend their position nor accept any idea which might challenge their misconceptions. I a... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I think @kuribo posted this: I have said repeatedly that measurements are useful to me in evaluating products as far as engineering, performance, suitability in my system vis a vis other components, etc. are concerned. I have also said repeatedl... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner Thanks for the link @thyname. Love to see your highly acoustic optimized specifically built scientifically optimized room too. Happy I could help somehow by posting a link. All ears. I love science The only science applied was in the mathem... | |
| Buckeye amps @holmz Regrettably I have a heavy cold and in deference to other attendees I won't be attending Alan March's presentation today. I have tried repeatedly to phone,. message, email Alan since Friday morning but he has not responded. Very disappoint... |
