| Purifi Class D: Junk? @speakermaster - what do you consider a "good high-current AB type amplifier"? | |
| Integrated recommendation for Revel F30 I have a pair of F30s. I used them primarily with a Mark Levinson 383 integrated, but even used, this is out of your price range I think. I've also used them with Parasound electronics and they sounded great. I'd recommend looking for a used Paras... | |
| Question on Streamer/Dac and Roon Roon recommends using a separate device for the core and endpoint since the core is much more compute intensive than the endpoint, and thus a device that is doing less computing (and thus theoretically quieter) can handle the endpoint duties to de... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? @djones51 - are you in the audio business? If not, why do you bother to listen to lots of different amps if they all sound the same to you? | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I never said I was immune to sighted bias. But there are often cases where the sound differences easily overcome this bias. In the case I mentioned, the differences were quite easy to hear by several listeners. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? @djones51 - if you don't trust your own ears and your ability to overcome sighted bias, that's fine, but telling everyone else that they are wrong is pretty arrogant. In my past experience with the Nord Hypex NC500 monoblocks using the Sparkos and... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Thanks Mike. I believe the Weiss opamp is pin compatible with the Pro series opamps from Sparkos and Sonic Imagery, but not their dual discrete opamps. I want to give my amps a couple more weeks of burnin before I decide how to proceed with the We... | |
| Roon ready Music Streamer with I2S digital output? You could also consider adding one of Denafrips’s DDCs. I’m using the Gaia to convert USB to i2s and the difference in SQ compared to AES3 from my steamer was stunning. | |
| Best sounding resistors @bigkidz - thanks for your feedback. That's helpful. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I had a pair of Nord Hypex NC500 monoblocks a couple years ago and was kind of disappointed with the sound quality. These amps came with input buffer boards that supported the Sparkos and Sonic Imagery discrete op amps, and I tried them both. I p... | |
| FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED @itsjustme - I agree with you 100% that the current regulations aren't particularly relevant for the kind of amps that most audiogon contributors would care about. But these regulations were originally developed for less sophisticated customers a... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? No, I meant compared to the well burned in Terminator. | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? The Gaia is primarily a reclocker, but also has buffering and optical isolation between the inputs and outputs, and can select between many different types of digital inputs and outputs to multiple types as well. When used with the Terminator Plus... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? I have had my Terminator Plus for a little over a week. I upgraded from a Terminator that had for about 10 months. I added a Denafrips Gaia to my Terminator about a month ago. This was a significant improvement to the Terminator. My T+ is still br... | |
| Best sounding resistors @pragmasi - Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of that. |
