D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Tan have you ever tried heavy copper cabling both input and output and compared to what your currently using.My last switching amplifier purchase was a pair of Hypex NC400s so I'm not sure how this synergy has changed with newer designs. With my f... 
Class A vs. AB vs. D... can you hear a difference?
Tim, Please accept my apologies for what appears to be a comment directed at you as that was not my intention. Without even thinking that my comments were following yours I didn't mean that YOU weren't objective, rather a portion of the thread in ...

Gene Cerwinsky (Cerwin-Vega) produced one of the first commercially available high power (then 180-350 watts) in the early seventies. The amplifier an 18" driver and horn cabinet were the bottom behind the film "Earthquake." Theaters premiering th... 
Class A vs. AB vs. D... can you hear a difference?
Bill as you can see objectivity can be hard to come by especially when one loses site of the question. I really enjoy my home theater. It's a 7.1 system in a smallish space with a Pioneer Elite receiver driving sensitive Triangle speakers and two ... 
Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February
I got a life. Did the owner say if he's going to hire someone who actually has any electronical knowledge?During the interim period of taking over and supporting Carver Tube warrantee there wasn't anybody there who could answer basic trouble shoot... 
Class A vs. AB vs. D... can you hear a difference?
My experience is limited to an A/B and five switching amplifiers including a Pioneer receiver. Overwhelmingly the switching amps didn't become congested when driven hard and were consistently less fatiguing. After repeated comparisons I concluded ... 
B&W MT-60D vs Paradigm MilleniaOne Home Theater
I owned three sets of Paradigm floorstanders and the minute I replaced them I realized my mistake in choosing them.Of course you should try to audition to fulfill your personal taste. I would suggest looking into a matched set of Pioneer's Andrew ... 
What would you upgrade?

VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers
Nice. Thanks for taking the time and sharing. I became disy at the thought of racking a four component dual mono preamplifier from a recent periodical review. Good to hear that many of the older mark designers are putting their best ideas and effo... 
Class D Ncore Atsah in the house
Analog not evolving and fully matured? Considering the rapid advancement in switching amplifier design the gist of what your saying is understandable. On the other hand the Bernie Grundman vinyl remaster of Weather Report's "Birdland" alone has ro... 
emotiva mono block amps any good?
Call it what you will. We've covered this ground before in the "Emotiva Challenge" thread. Like Archie from the Lounge forum my concerns regarding their manufacture remain. http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/33613/emotiva-manufacturing-prac... 
Class D Ncore Atsah in the house
I've used various switching amplifiers since PS Audio introduced the $1500. HCA-2. The HCA-2 forced me to upgrade my homes VAC which turned out to improve everything not just audio and video. Until recently, switching amplifiers have remained reas... 
emotiva mono block amps any good?
"Any good" covers a lot of ground. If you don't mind how and where it's manufactured for the sake of unexplainable low cost, then you'll be in a large fan club.You'll be able to wallow in countless positive owner reviews that wax on about fabulous...
