| If Power Cords Don't Matter... I have heard current is the most important aspect. So if that is the case, why do manufacturers only list watts. I honk they are trying to hide something. | |
| Class A amps I am thinking about upgrading my ARCAM AVR 550 to a new ARCAM AVR 30. The ARCAM AVR 30 has G Class amplification. I believe the first 50 watts are pure Class A. This will cost me an extra $3,000 ($6,000) total. Will I hear the difference in so... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and You will be blown away by the SALK Song3 Encores. They direct to avoid selling to dealers at huge discounts. As a result they use expensive drivers and superb cabinet build. | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio I think these two songs are one of the best to demo a system. They are also very high quality recordings.1. Nasty by Vincent Ingala2. Little Person by Michael Wollny | |
| How long does Class A have? I wonder what a true blind test would reveal? | |
| How long does Class A have? Why don't manufacturers list the amount of amps (current) their amplifiers and receivers put out. It is nothing to do with watts. It all has to do about current.I think they hide this number because they know their amplifiers do not produce much... | |
| Replacement power cord, Hafler 9180 I would be very curious if anyone doing a blind test would hear the difference? Kind of reminds me of The Emperors New Cloths. | |
| To Stream or Not to Stream I love streaming Tidal. Their library is huge and the sound quality of high. I haven’t used CD’s for years. You will enjoy streaming and won’t look back. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning I just have a difficult time thinking you could hear the difference in a blind test. Be interesting to know.People who reach for this must listen to their systems for every flaw and not really enjoy their system because they think they are settli... | |
| What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question) I wish I could hear a blind testing on a very expensive system on vinyl vs streaming. I have always thought vinyl to be noisy and it is time consuming to have to get up and change a record. It might even be more fun during a blind testing to tel... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson All I can say is you must be filthy rich.My wife would kick me out of the house if I purchased a pair Wilson's. | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... I wasn't that impressed with my ADS towers. I thought the technology was dated because I purchased them in 1980. The dealer allowed me to trade them in for a DAC. Maybe I got dupped.I have a pair of Paradigm Prestige 85F towers and I didn't rea... | |
| More watts or better power ? I would think a larger size amp would be like buying a new car and opting for the model with greater HP. A larger size amp would work les hard and I wonder if this in turn would produce better sound. I have always thought the larger the amp the ... | |
| The Miller Carbon Story I would think the biggest improvement would be to upgrade the cartridge. Still don't know why people use vinyl. I always thought it to be noisier than a CD player and now streaming is convenient along huge libraries to choose from. The next tim... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality I like the library Tidal offers using a streamer. They have a lot of hi res quality. I always thought 24 bit is better than 16 bit.It would cost a fortune to buy CD’s verses Tidal’s library. It is also nice to select artists and songs while rel... |
