Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I want to hear a GaN amp with the higher switching frequency and a higher low pass filter. The manufacturer trying to confuse people with the "tube" doesn't pass. 
DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA
Did you ever try a power conditioner or DC blocker after not using the improperly grounded outlet?McIntosh should be more helpful. At the same time, it wouldn't make sense to put a DC blocker in all its products to make a small percentage happy. D... 
Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12
The majority of Class D Amps will sound better in that price range, except in the low level highs. The current state of design will result in the choice of distortion, roll off, or cover up with even order distortion to deal with distortion create...

Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@almarg I was referring to George and Ralph's technical discussion on the last page (3), and not the whole thread and topic.

Tekton DI Monitors
@erik_squires A couple of weeks ago, comb filtering was all the rage on Audiogon. It seems that the DI monitors have plenty of comb filtering and no one cares. Curious! Truth! In that previous deleted thread, the uninformed Tekton fanboys disagree...
