| Traveling to Mentor Ohio - anyone close by?? My Uncle and his family lived at Mentor on the Lake. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @benzman, Maybe the Lumin P-1 would be a good replacement for the Cary? It even has Ethernet optical input standard. | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? @erik_squires, The room was large but the IRS fired into a glass bay window 10' wide, the townhome was an 1800s structure, when deep bass notes hit the floor rippled from the woofer towers, a fun ride! | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? I was lucky enough to work in a High-End shop, Excalibur, in Olde Towne Alexandria VA and we had IRS Vs in the front room. Many manufacturers used to drop in with their latest creations and see what the microscope of the IRS' told them about their... | |
| Chip amps, not spoken about much, except on the diy sites. The LSA Warp 1 from Underwood HiFi is also a chip amp, Texas Instruments TPA3255 Class D amp-on-a-chip: here is a current review; https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2022/02/27/lsa-warp-1-power-amplifier-review/ | |

| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! @jgueron , try his website, philharmonicaudio dot com, he is Dennis Murphy and has done crossover consulting with Jim Salk for years, great guy. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @lancelock , Lance, did you audition the Purifi amp in the LKV room? Bill uses Class A discrete circuitry to drive the Purifi modules, nice. They introduced a Pwr 3 amp with an SWPS for $3350. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House Alberto showed a new, stereo, rectangular box, amp at the Capital Audiofest that is essentially a pair of Audions in a single non-fancy chassis, and I think I heard $5500 although the room was loud so I can't be sure of the price. | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? @questforhifi, Jay compared a Rouge IceEdge 1200 module-based amp, not a Rogue amp which is a hybrid using tube driver and Hypex modules as outputs, just a clarification. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @rja , I'm realizing the full benefit of all Streamer/DACs that can eliminate USB cables, extra boxes and Power cords, my Bricasti M3 with network board sounds wonderful, and it and my system just got a major transformational upgrade with the addi... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k Borresen, Vivid, Acora, Tidal | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend The Bricasti M3 may only do DSD 256, but it does DSD in a Native pure 1 bit conversion. | |
| 100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids I'll add the DVA 225 monos from Frank at AVA, superb. I also second Lancelock's pick, CODA. |
