| Class D vs Class A Education Ok what class A amps are we talking about, at what prices?And, what class D amps are we basing our opinions on and at what prices?I've stated what I use and what they were compared to.My amps weren't cheap,and they look nice, but that's not why I ... | |
| Class D vs Class A Education Well if you can read between the lines, you should be able to understand that despite all the different design implimentations(class A, solid state, tube pp, tube set, tube otl) there really weren't night and day differences between any of the amp... | |
| Class D vs Class A Education I have auditioned a few power amps over the last two months looking for the best sound that I can coax out of my Grand Veena speakers.Here's the list--Bell tubed integrated(1961)..Mac 275 V,Atma Sphere S30 OTL, Grant Lumley 40 watt EL 34, Art Audi... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? I don't know if many here address the electricity going to their gear as much as I do, but what I have found is that the D amps that I own need the best power you can give them to sound their best.That means the less you do to clean up the power t... | |
| power conditioners I had two Furmans, just sold the IT 1220 (20 amp), and have owned the Panamx 1000, and several Blue Circle pillows.I now enjoy a Hydra 8 on the front end, and a hydra 2 on the amps.Both are fed two separate runs of 10 guage from the panels 30 watt... | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line I remember Dan when he was an audio salesman in Niagara Falls NY-Transcendental Sound.Too bad so many are set against giving the man credit for staying in the game.I hope this is just the tip of the ice berg, and hasn't anyone heard of trickle dow... | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? 1959 Electrohome PA 100MK1 mono amp.Partridge transformer,tube rectified, chokes and 39 pounds of Williamson design, and about 10 watts of power.The amp is not a Public Address amp.It came inside a console box and was the "companion" to another bo... | |
| Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan I haven't had them for a month yet, but my HT system of 2 pairs of MMgw and the MMGC driven by a Ymamha RV659 reciever is showing no signs of strain.I use a Paradigm sub of no special merit.I used to own the EAD powermaster 500,perhaps I should ha... | |
| Finding a Power Cord that sounds great Like everything, sometimes one piece of gear meshes better than another,everyone has a different "sound" they are going for.The sound of our systems are influenced by everything around them,the electricity, the room dimensions, room treatment, and... | |
| Power Cords Wrapping tin foil around your power cords doesn't do anything that I could hear.Find an audio store that will loan you some power cables and don't be afraid to try some that you can't afford to buy.Only by trying the best, the one's that do work, ... | |
| Opinions on the new Shunyata Black Mamba CX Adding the Python CX was like someone had turned up the volume and added extra bass using a tone control.This was deemed in a positive light.Like going from a lesser powered amp to a more powerful amp.The amp controlled the speakers(Tetra's)better... | |
| Original Shunyata Hydra Owners I have a Hydra two, and upgraded to an Annaconda Helix and never regretted it.I once auditioned all the snakes using a cd player and a Cary 300sei amp and listened to music thru headphones.No question about it, you could hear the differnce in clar... | |
| Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C Funny thing I was at a loss in finding speaker cables for my Grand Veenas and my mono block amps.I had an old pair of Cardas Golden Hex 5c, one mtr, stripped the spades off at one end and made DIY biwires.Best wires I have found yet,glad I never s... | |
| Opinions on the new Shunyata Black Mamba CX How's the bass using Python CX?My friend commented that when used on his Aleph 3, that it was like "someone turned up the volume and added bass".I thought so too.Then I took my Python cable back home. | |
| sub integration merlin tsm mme I used a Martin Logan Depth set to 45.Using discretion regarding the sub's volume,(not beyond 5)it was a nice match in my large room.I didn't fool around much with settings, just tried to augment the Merlins and not leave to large a gap between th... |
