| verdict on class D amps? Jaymark - I assumed that. | |
| buzzing from speakers Inputs (and outputs) are protected to human body model 2kV/2ns standard at best. You can easily get tens of kV on your body in dry room with carpets. Assembly houses that build boards for many manufacturers have very stringent static control. Ever... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? At some concerts acoustic is really bad and in the places where acoustics is great I cannot get and often afford good seat. Listening at home I have the best seat in the house. | |
| verdict on class D amps? You're welcome. | |
| Bel Ref1000s OR M300s + Gallo refrence S.A. amp? I went with Rowland because it was $100 less and better built. Instead of pre I picked Benchmark DAC1 and cheap Sony DVD player. Now I'm independent of transport and have DVD and MP3 sound in addition. I don't have analog sources. If you looking a... | |
| verdict on class D amps? I hesitated between AZ Satori and some other cable until I found few reviews that complained about a little fuller lower midrange - that was exactly what I needed. AQ Indigo was, in comparison, very thin sounding. Satori is not only more refined (... | |
| Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality? Lrsky - Better laser might provide better results with less than perfect disks if its optimized for that (blue ray might not be). Shortcomings of digital comes not only from resolution but mostly from unfortunate sampling rate of 44.1kHz. Just ima... | |
| buzzing from speakers If you don't have anything damaged now you will. Why not to use portable humidifier? | |
| Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality? That's what I think. If error correction works and there is no jitter I don't see what else can be improved in reading process.Higher resolution can be obtained in digital filtering (think averaging)but it stops short of 20-bits because of DACs. I... | |
| verdict on class D amps? Jaymark - that was my impression. SS integrated, I had before class D amp, sounded in comparison "brassy". I'm not sure, with my limited experience, how best amp should sound, but I have very liquid smooth sound now. Sibilants, I had before, disap... | |
| Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality? Lrsky - You assume that picture that you scan has unlimited resolution. That is not the case here - CD has fixed resolution of 16 bits. Time spacing between bits is fixed and has nothing to do with spacing between players. If the player plays CD w... | |
| Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality? Lrsky - Redbook is fixed at 16 bit and the only thing that better transport provides is lower jitter. Better laser resolution does nothing if overall quality doesn't follow. Many factors affect player's performance and SACD players, for example, a... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? "One speaker that is rarely mentioned in this type of discussion is the Lipinski 707."I want to hear it. Somebody described its imaging as "jaw dropping" | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China "Personally prefer to send my music out of relatively cheap players into a very good outboard DAC - that way when the player goes down - I feel no qualms about pitching it."That's exactly how I feel. Also DVD players have good tracking.If you buy ... | |
| Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality? "Is there hope that the typical audiophile out there can buy a $399 blue ray, and end up with sound quality which is better than even the very expensive (red laser) cd players which are audiophile grade?"I'm confused. Are you asking about using it... |
