| Can Monoblock be split for analog and digital Jaytor, what kind of passive switch did you have in mind? You have the configuration correct. As you indicated the switch would be needed to keep the low-impedance out. | |
| Can Monoblock be split for analog and digital It's not the ideal situation Erik. Even in bypass it stifles the DV2, I'm trying to utilize the volume control on the DV2. As Jaytor said the unpowered device would still be a low-impedance load. The monoblocks are Classe' CA M600's. The passive s... | |
| Can Monoblock be split for analog and digital Thanks, Parasitic oscillation is variation in output/voltage or current that can result in noise. We shall see...Or Hear.. | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? I had a PS Audio DSD for almost 3 years, before going to the Emm Labs DV2 and Ref Pre. With the PS Audio running directly to my Classe' CA M600 I found the presentation far to edgy. (Dedicated circuits, great cabling) Not to mention noise! Run the... | |
| High end Class D amps? IMHO The best Class D amps on todays market are Merrill Audio Element 116 or Element 118... | |
| Merrill Audio 116's In my original post I explained how my Classe' sounded lifeless and lackluster after playing the same 5 tracks. I realized after the fact that the Classe's were stone cold! Unplugged for several days! Blunder on my part, but thankfully I figured o... | |
| Amplifier warm up The legendary Ed Meitner at EMM Labs strongly recommends to never turn their gear off. I leave my DV2 and Pre on 24/7. | |
| Stupid Mistake Well said Millercarbon! All these small to large nuances form an accumulative balance of sound within ones system. From my components, dedicated circuits, outlets, to cabling. All though I did stop at the carbon Furutech cover plate! The strange... | |
| Amplifier warm up For sure with the warming up time. I just posted something that I did that was really dumb! | |
| Merrill Audio 116's A delay of a year to get it right? Wow, that is a delay. Their only product is a 200W amp. Have you ever heard Merrill Audio's amps? I'm not a patent or copy rights attorney but I would think certain technologies cannot be copied? Besides GaN, I w... | |
| Bryston preamps I demoed both the Bryston 26 and 17. I have Class' CA M600 amps with Joseph Audio pearl 20/20s. At the time I had a PS Audio Directstream Dac. Bad gain mismatch with my amps and dac. Very little volume control, had to turn the volume down on the D... | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? I think AudioFound summed this all up nicely. Sound interpretation varies from one set of ears to another. When you get to a certain level of quality it becomes a personal form of what you like and enjoy. | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? I love my Classe' CA M600 monoblocks. They were good enough for Abby Roads Studio. They have a few years on them but hard to beat. Its a too bad what happened with Classe'. Pass does a great job. It boils down to what sounds right in your system w... | |
| Crimping Furutech FP203R spades I have all Furutech outlets and S032. I soldered all the spade connectors. | |
| Emm Labs DV2/PRE combo Hi Scratcha, if you ever have any questions about the gear please don't hesitate to reach out. I was running the DV2 directly. The Pre adds texture and a refinement of timbre that really shines. |
