| Could Class D really be that good? @eddnog Yep, thank you for the reminder Ed. 11 AM EDT. I had the site open. I was told biggest discount will be limited to the first 200 participants. (disclaimer: I am not affiliated with FOSI) | |
| Could Class D really be that good? I added a THD (%) scale, which corresponds to the dB scale, into the graph for comparing more affordable NAD C268 ($1k) and the Bel Canto S300iu ($2.5k) with the Fosi V3. As shown, the NAD C268 is comparable to the Fosi V3, but the Bel Canto is fa... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? Although Perca ($$$10k) does not publish its load-dependent distortion level, its average THD of 0.0003% (corresponding to -110 dB) puts itself closely against the Benchmark AHB2 (0.0001% or -115 dB; $$3.5k). Perca's high efficiency lies in its in... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @eddnog I was further confirmed with the 4/20 on Kickstarter which is initially informed by @jackjohnson316 and Fosi also told me that it will hit Amazon in US on June. I am interested in SS3602 myself too but wonder why don't you consider the ... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @hifinut51 There is a pre-out terminal on the back designed to bypass the amplifier's built-in power amplification stage. SE only but, if you want xlr, go with Za3 which is supposed to similar SQ based on the review. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @erik_squires I went back to you post (pls do the same) and found no mention of "sound quality" and "1990" How is one supposed to know what you were "trying" to say big shot. BTW, it is not an accurate statement that, back in 1990, the class D wit... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @erik_squires The basic principle of classification still defines the efficiency, cost, and form factor of a power amplifier essentially. How the audio industry implements technology on top of and around this principle to make them perform well ... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? Yep, I forgot to mention the quality parts it uses, which sounds too good to be true. I think that make it sound much better than its neck-to-neck competitor Aiyima A07, which sounds grainy especially with more complicated music. | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? It is suggested to avoid framing speakers solely based on a price tag. In publications like Stereophile, the price range for a loudspeaker can vary significantly even within the same class. Your price range may fall into the "restricted LF class A... | |
| if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can I would certainly agree with upgrading from the Spendor A5s (48 Hz to 20 kHz) to a pair of floorstanders that offer great SQ of a more extensive frequency range, reaching down to at least 30 Hz (-3dB). There are many affordable options available t... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? Whether you reside in an industrial zone or not, power load exhibits a similar time-of-day pattern universally. Particularly, the peaking is most pronounced during the summer months, as we all comprehend. However, I find myself questioning: Is th... | |

| How would you spend my next $5K? Consider denoting it to the needed people. I don't think you need to add / change anything further to your system. Just enjoy the music. | |
| Overkill for small room I've had the opportunity to audition the Dynaudio Contour 20i speakers, and I must say, their sound quality is very impressive. According to Stereophile's review, the Contour 20 speakers pair well with two modest class A tube amplifiers (with 22-3... | |
| Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions @jafant Just dig out the PS1. Feeding it to my thrid system in the study room that include Parasound Zpre2 -> A23 -> NHT SB3, I had semi-full range of engaging music down to 39 hz... |
