| Auraliti PK90 replacement I don't mean to act like a jerk here, but I have a PK90 on a shelf since I replaced mine with an Auralic Aeries G1. It also has a linear power supply that I got from Auraliti. I would let the 2 pieces go for $500 if you're interested. Otherwise ju... | |
| What was your first system? When was that? 1971 - Pioneer SX-303 receiver and Rectilinear 10B speakers. Radio for a while, then Phillips turntable. The one that wiggled a lot with the cool green touch sensor. | |
| Bel canto Ref600 versus PS Audio M700 Well having heard the Bel Canto amps and being very impressed, along with the very positive reviews of the PS M700' I would think they sound about the same. So pick the one that suits your needs better. I do realize that to keep it at about the sa... | |
| Bel canto Ref600 versus PS Audio M700 Just giving this one more try. Really, these are about the two most popular Class D amps out there, no one has heard both. I have heard the Ref600 with Wilson Sasha's and thought they were excellent. | |
| Bel canto Ref600 versus PS Audio M700 Actually the PS Audio is Ice Power 700 ASC with a Gain Cell input circuit. I am also very interested in opinions, as I wish to get one of these two. Which will sound best with a passive preamplifier? | |
| Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax What are we to do with all the physicists and electronic engineers that do hear a difference in fuses? Maybe we can take their cards away. | |
| Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock? To me Class D sounds just as good as the other classes, if done correctly, as with the other classes as well. Why would someone want a Class D?1. More watts per dollar (usually)2. If you keep it powered 24/7 then it's always warmed up. Even for a ... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? I have a pair of these and $600 would by the lowest I would sell them for. I'm not selling mine ... just sayn'John | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? Class A amps are like driving your car around with the gas pedal floored, and controlling your speed with the brakes. It is a rather inefficient method. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? What about Kemp Electronics Tachyon box of BS. Tachyons don't even exist, and certainly no one is creating them for a hi-fi tweak. If they just said it was a magical box I wouldn't be getting on their case, but to throw out some absurd scientific ... | |
| Why so few non entry level battery operated dac with built in sd card input and streaming My friend has a Mirus DAC (not sure on the spelling). It takes SD cards with music on them. He loves it, but his library now exceeds a few large SD cards, so now he is always swapping them in and out. It is IMO a "high-end" DAC as it was over 3 or... | |
| Has anyone bi-amped and also used a pair of Schiit LOKI tone controls? My friend is doing it and using two Loki' as pseudo crossovers. He has the lower 2 controls turned to min as a high pass to the upper crossover and drivers, and the other Loki has the 2 upper controls turned to min before going to the amp and lowe... | |
| Home owner's insurance question What if you bought a used piece? Say I got a pair of speakers for $5,000 that were originally $15,000. Would the insurance company have to get me the same, or equivalent up to $15,000? | |
