| Class A, A/B vs Class D amp Soundstage Op, it is possible that the damping factor on the new Hypex Ncore-based class D amp is too high, resulting in extremely tight bass control and an overall strong speaker grip. The Evo 150 does not report either its output impedance or damping fact... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) So let me get this right: audiophiles who like vinyl but have an IQ below 130 are idiots? And and and ... audiophiles who like vinyl but have an IQ higher than 70 are gifted! | |
| 1 meter speaker cables Ralph of Atmasphere would say that for tube amps difference between 1 meter and 2.5 meters speaker cables may very well be audible and could in fact be significant Atma-Sphere utilizes OTL and zero feedback designs and, as such, its output imp.... | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps @yyzsantabarbara Would you please talk about the modded Peachtree GaN1 by Rick? What modifications have been made? (also interested in the DACless design) | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps Thank you both. I’ll see if the magic is real on Saturday. | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps Thank you for the input, @yyzsantabarbara. I need to start saving now. A used one is hard find. | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Day time - 65-70 dBA Night time - 45-55 dBA My ambience noise is around 25 dBA w/o AC | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps I tried placing the Buchardt S400 MKII closer to the front wall, but the soundstage depth suffered. I pulled it at least three feet away to restore some of it but the bass becomes thiner. Right now, I’m using EQ to extend the bass into the mid-30H... | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps Thank you for the confirmation, Ed. On its way... I’d like to try it with my 4-ohm speakers, which dip down to 1.5 ohms and are demanding in EPDR. Getting the LS50, which is rated at 45 Hz (-3dB), down to 35 Hz kind of amazes me. | |
| Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Power Amps Congratulations on the new find! I'm curious how the sound from a single P200 stereo compares to a bridged dual for the LS50. Are you still getting the LS50 to sing down to 35Hz in your room? Thx. | |

| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 Again, don’t listen to some guy remitting biased opinion / exaggeration. Look at what he said before (see below), just opposite to what Stereophile has commented. A lot of people misinterpret brightness as being ’detailed,’ and I doubt some guys’ ... | |
| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 Saying that Parasound is a step down from Rotel is absolutely untrue—it’s an overgeneralized statement. To be fair, Parasound's high-end models are a step up from Rotel’s lower-end models, while Parasound's lower-end models are a step down from Ro... | |
| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 Don’t listen to someone’s semi-educated guess—especially if they have never owned or auditioned this particular model of Rotel. You need to do your due diligence. According to Stereophile: But I’d be misleading you if I gave the impression that ... |
