| Simplest Linear PSU? smd vs smps -- 🤣 that is hifi nerd-dom conflation at it’s nadir! what the heck are we talking about here????? 🤔 on a slightly more serious note, i think one needs to bear in mind that some judicious component designers may choose smps for their... | |
| Integrated amp for Proac D2 i had a belles aria (non sig model) and i agree it adds a dose of brightness in its presentation of the music... it is a bit cheaper than the kinki unit used (but not by much, a few hundred bucks) but i personally feel the kinki produces a more re... | |
