| New Class D amplifiers @shkong78 looking forward to your input re Starkrimson, and Starkrimson vs Atmasphere (expecting Ralph's to sound better given price differential). @orchardaudio are you considering a PCM digital-in amp along the lines of Peachtree GAN1? This... | |

| New Class D amplifiers Technics was said to have plans for a line of GaN-based products, of wich the integrated was the first out. Is anybody aware of plans/timeline for any power amp to be available? I wonder about their price-point given the integrated is ~ $2800. | |
| New Class D amplifiers @tommylion Thanks for the input. Somehow Google didn't return a hit. At $5500 the AGD Tempos are at the same price as the Atmasphere, and on an earlier post @mglik mentioned his experience with the more expensive Audions vs Atmas as being differ... | |
| New Class D amplifiers So had I. Anybody has a ballpark price for AGD Tempos? | |
| B&W 802 d4 with Tube Amplifier Years ago I was auditioning the new-ar-the-time 804S (no D tweeter then) with McIntosh pre, tubed MC275 mkIV and a SS Mac rated 250 Wpc. I preferred the tubed MC275, which I still own. But it is my understanding larger B&W do open up with more... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Interesting thread. I'm also in the network optimization bandwagon, and there are new things for me to consider here. My system is based on Roon Server running on a generic PC and an optimized (no motors, headless, server mobo) Audio PC connected... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @kitsap2 thanks for the feedback. For my reference, which amp are you comparing the GaN1 bass with? | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I'm quite interested in GaN 1. FWIW, I read Ralph's (atmasphere) comments as constructive to learning. In fact over the years I learnt a lot from his posts. For example, his posts helped me understand things about single ended triodes and how to ... | |
| Open Baffle Experience The closer the OB is to the front wall, the higher the cancellation that between front and back wave, and the shorter the time difference in arrival times between the direct and reflected sound (per Ralph's post above). So further away from the wa... | |
| Open Baffle Experience I've used B&W 804S speakers with their passive crossovers, then went active with digital xo, then into DIY boxed and eventually open baffle. Of course I do measurements for design work. System has now 2 sealed subs to 80Hz, 18" OB midbasses in... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Early in the year when this came up I tried to sign up as beta tester but unfortunately Peachtree wanted to limit to testers in the US, which I'm not. So I'm an interested follower in this thread. @ricevs is overwhelmingly enthusiastic about this... | |
| KT88 for McIntosh MC275 mk.IV? It does auto bias. However I don't know if it does it for each tube, pair or whole lot. Maybe someone with MC275 mk.IV can tell. A quick search brought Ron-C (a McIntosh technical employee then) circa 2005 at Audiokharma McIntosh forum making com... | |
| KT88 for McIntosh MC275 mk.IV? I went ahead and purchased 2 matched pairs of Gold Lion KT88. Pair A has a tube rated 37 IP/4600 GM and another rated 38 IP/4700 GM. Pair B has a tube rated 37 IP/4400 GM and another rated 36 IP/4500 GM. Should I install A1 in V8, A2 in V9 a... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling As I continue to convert into Helix I am now looking to replace the current Helix speaker cables built with commodity PVC/stranded cable with proper materials for the tweeter cables: from a 2W 45-type SET amp directly into AMT tweeters. I'm thinki... |
