| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @mattw73 Thank you for sharing. If your preamp has an output impedance of 50k ohms, it should not have any matching issues with the Denafrips DAC, whether using RCA (625 ohms) or XLR (1250 ohms). I was referring to my own preamp, which has only a ... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @ozzy62 @mattw73 @klipscher @curiousjim @jastralfu @2psyop Does the high output impedance of 1,250 ohms from the Denafrips DAC ever bother you in terms of impedance matching? The Harmony DAC has an identical measurement, but the µDAC brings it do... | |

| 12v linear power supply Only Teddy Pardo and SBooster list the most important specification: ripple noise/voltage. Teddy Pardo regulates it down to an impressive 1 µV. However, the SBooster ECO has a relatively high ripple of <1 mV at full load. It is recommended to p... | |
| 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. |
