| Budget High Current Power Cords The whole debate about AC power cords is ridiculous. Same with speaker wire. It’s ridiculous. If it can carry enough power to the device, it is adequate, and using a more expensive cable isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference. Sorry, but all... | |
| B&W 802D3 Can be be bright with some material, and very unimpressive bass, even with 1000 watt monoblocks...Been auditioning them.. I like them except the bass really sucks.so another 6 grand in subs required. | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable As an electrical engineer, and somebody who has a pretty extensive knowledge about wiring. I see absolutely no way ’ultra expensive’ high quality oxygen free stranded wire, regardless of the amount of strands it has, will in (short lengths especia... | |
| Anyone have any experience with a BRYSTON 4B SST2 ? Or bite the bullet and get the MC462? It was not the same question, but I solved it myself by buying the McIntosh. ✌️ | |
| Brand new McIntosh MC462 or a Mint Pair of MC501s ? Why 501's in a second? | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. So why couldn’t you get a XLR to RCA adapter, from XLR out of the preamp to the RCA input of the MC462? Thus, giving 2.4volts to the unbalanced end of the amp? Does it not work that way? 🤓 | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. Ehh, why buy an amp with 450 Watts to only have the potential of 150? Plus Powergaurd won't let it clip, right? | |
| Deciding if I like Class D. I'm still in the evaluation. with the amps. | |
| Deciding if I like Class D. Well, money is not the issue. As I said, it's what the money gets me that matters. George, my Goldenears, as you may know, have a bass section that is powered by its own built in class D '1600 watt' amp. So the Hypex is basically a line preamp. I... | |
| Deciding if I like Class D. If that’s the case George, then why does the op amps make such a significant difference, and in a positive way? | |
| Deciding if I like Class D. The Marantz 8805 is quite good. I don't think that's a factor here. | |
| Deciding if I like Class D. I’m not saying the Goldenear 1Rs are bright, but the Heil like tweeter is certainly more pronounced than most domes, IMHO.. Which is one of the reasons I bought them.The purpose of this post is to give my opinion, for what it’s worth, on the op am... |
