| Are DAC's overpriced? Burr-Brown PCM1704U-J and PCM1704U-K are vintage R2R chips that people seem to prefer to the currently ubiquitous ESS Sabre chips.The Burr-Browns were something like $20 each at one time. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Were the Cuban Embassy Sonic Attacks Actually Just Class 'D' Amplification? Crickets? An Enemy Attack? | |
| The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions? That's a good speaker for the money :) | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? Possibly yes if it's built around a Sabre chip. Possibly no if it's R2R or FPGA. | |
| Good source for NOS tubes in SF Ba y Area? Why local? | |
| Meadowlark Ospreys.. fighting under their weight class? Or a pair of Vandersteen 5A's. | |
| Meadowlark Ospreys.. fighting under their weight class? If I didn't own Tannoys, I'd be tempted to try the Meadowlark Blue Heron II's that were just listed on Audiogon for a good price. | |
| Meadowlark Ospreys.. fighting under their weight class? There are two classes of loudspeakers, i.e., Tannoy and everything else. But only the Tannoy Prestige line are worth owning, unless you can find a used pair of 215 DMT II studio monitors -- which are no longer in production. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I have immunity against monkey plague and Class D amplification. | |
| Recommendation for DAC needed. sbank1, preferences are system dependent. Also, each of us has different hearing. I haven't heard the Chord, but would buy the Chord Dave, if I could afford one. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) bo1972, you are single-handedly ruining the Monitor Audio brand name with your ludicrous shilling and drivel. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Avoid Class D like monkey plague! | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) 2psyop, it's whatever he peddles that is the best tru-fi one can get :) | |
| The invention of measurements and perception A musician with perfect pitch hearing can perceive whether a tuning fork or oscilloscope is on pitch, or flat, or sharp. Like everything else, the measuring tool is not infallible. | |
| Tannoy Prestige Turnberry GR Limited Edition or ProAc D 30 R o RS I would guess that Cheviot is a better choice than either Turnberry or ProAc D 30 R o RS. Why change? |
