| 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. | |

| classical music for the solo piano which hits all the 'keys'. Thank you for the introduction. I’m currently listening to her entire album collection on Qobuz. | |
| 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 ... | |

| No sound Strangely, the SQ with the Sys is improving greatly. I don’t know if it’s breaking in (I didn’t know a switch could break in) or I’m getting used to it. Only active component like capacitors require some break-in time. You are mostly likely e... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Vinshine prices seem to be quite a bit higher That was in Singapore dollars. Singapore dollars S$1349 / US$994. In terms of duty, if the U.S. tariff takes effect, Denafrips will likely be the first to react. I recall Denafrips started collect... | |

| Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier I think your best choice so far (if you can or are willing to afford it) would be the Benchmark AHB2, which has dimensions of 11.04" W x 3.47" H x 8.33" D and a gain ratio close to what you’ve been considering. 29.3dB (8 ohm) -> 29.1dB (3 ohm)... | |
| No sound @jetter I kind of wish for swapping two RCA inputs with an XLR input, but this is not, I believe, a truly balanced design anyway. The 64-step relay ladder volume control works great and solves my channel balance issue. Yes, the Saga 2 is a great b... | |
| Comparing speakers at home questions I understand the arguments on both sides—short-term vs. long-term listening. I've tried both approaches. However, the key is a blind test. |
