| 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 ... | |

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? | |
| Expo My friend and I are driving from Daytona for the day. | |
| Help! Power question Try to find a small regenerator to plug that stuff into. | |
| Aurelic G2 or Aurender N10 Sorry I can't be much help, but the Auralic App will only run on Apple stuff also. If your visiting adult children have iPhones, then it should work, but no Android phones. | |
| PS Audio P5 - leave on or power off when done listening? I have the P10 and I leave it on all the time. I shut off my SS monoblock amps with the P10 remote and the rest of the system... file player, DAC & pre-amp stay on all the time. When the amps are off the P10 says a draw of 83 watts is happenin... | |
| Marketing slogans to catch the consumers attention Remember "Digital Ready" ?Everything was Digital Ready even headphones. | |
