| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Finally, I received my special order of B&W 800D2's mounting plates. The installation of GAIA 1's was a breeze (actually fun). I was done under 45 minutes. And boy, the improvements were immediate....I am hearing better bass, wider soundstage ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I have compared amps side by side with older Hypex Ucd and Hypex NC500 and I could not discern any major audible differences. As others have pointed out, It's all in the design implementation and most importantly the power supply.To 'kuribo' point... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @georgehifi Just by reading your posts, I am convinced that you are stuck in Class A/B la la land. Since you're struck there that can only mean one thing: not being firmly in the present.Through either anxiously living in an anticipated future or ... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? @georgehifi In my system, the combination of Aurender N10 and ARC DAC9 sounds just as good as my CD player. Of course, I end up spending close to twice as much to rival the performance of my CD player :-)I love spinning my CD's to this day but I c... | |
| Best combo +1 meschI am using a ARC LS28 pre and bi-amping B&W 800D2's with ARC VT-80 / Merrill Audio THOR's monoblocks. Adding VT-80 for mid's and high's was like 'icing' on a cake. | |
| Jazz LP Review: Lyn Stanley's The Moonlight Sessions Vol.1 I bought the SACD and I agree with OP, she gives an outstanding performance and a well recorded disc worthy of repeated playback. | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? +1 mitch2 - "the sound of these cables is system and user dependent". I have had some low budget and uber expensive USB cables in my system. I end up keeping the Wireworld Platinum. | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? CD + Tidal streaming, both very gratifying in my system. | |
| Tube preamp with or without phono stage? If your budget allows it, go for a external phono stage for maximum flexibility. Or else, Dan at Modwright can install phonostage option for $300. You may consider following pre, ARC LS27Modwright SWL 9.0 Anniversary EditionCheers! | |

| Speaker Cable Suggestions Try Signal Cable 'Silver Resolution'. I am currently using this cable. Fabulous sounding cable and incredible value. http://signalcable.com/silverresolutionspeaker.html | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @toddverrone, You may be confusing 'Active' bi-amping with bi-amping. Bi-Amp - 2 amps wired to the speakers LF and MF/HF binding posts using the internal passive crossover.Active Bi-Amp - Putting an active crossover in between the amps and the pre... | |
| Looking for a B&W HTM2D2 (Diamond) center speaker in Cherry? I doubt any dealer carrying this item as 'new' since it has been discontinued. I suggest keep an eye for a used one on Audiogon or USAudio Mart. And the color is Rosenut not cherry. Cherry color was offered with Nautilus series only. Good luck! | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" +1 shardone.I have been listening to Tidal Masters on a non-MQA compatible DAC. IMO, the increased resolution is more apparent on newer recordings than older recordings. As pointed out in previous thread, not all Master are the same so I am willin... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @merrillaudio,Thank you you for taking the time to share great insight on Class D amplification. A bit of clarification on couple of things, in your comments, "Class D tends to be fast, unless slowed intentionally or with a tube" - Are you referr... |
