| New PS Audio Ampliphier BTW, what's with this "Stellar" line they're diving into? Is PS Audio trying to move into entry-level audiophile market with class D, delta-sigma DACs, etc? | |
| Class D = Trash? Damn, 24 hours later and this amp sounds like trash -- rolled off / recessed mids again, soundstage depth almost gone...wow. I guess this thing with wired class D burn-in is true. | |
| Class D = Trash? Also....am I crazy or is this amp casting an unstable image? Like sounds don't want to focus and stay there.Like....the vocalist says a word that happens a little to the right, but the trailing consonant finishes a little on the left. | |
| Class D = Trash? I can definitely detect that element of...whatever it is. Dryness? Poor blending of upper- mids into highs? Lack of weight? There's a SOMETHING to the sound that hints to listener fatigue. | |
| Class D = Trash? I will say this: the first day of the D-Sonic was absolutely horrid, the mids were so rolled off that the ends of words were missing altogether. I figured that was just first-day garbage, and thankfully that's all that it was.My 845 only took a fe... | |
| Class D = Trash? Shtinkydog how long did you have the burn it in? | |
| Class D = Trash? I have 3 set of speakers. Chane 1.4s, garbage. Zu Omen Mk.II -- good dyanmics, okay-ish resolution, forward but shallow soundstage. My current reference is the Fritz Carbon 7 SE: http://www.fritzspeakers.com/DreamWeaverFritzCarbon7SESpecPage.aspTh... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes Lol, obviously I was being a clown. I tried to apply some peer pressure tactics, guess it didn't work. The big SETs are still king. | |
| I've decided to try Tubes The KT88 120 150 are for losers, real audiophiles have 2a3 300B 845 etc SETs. | |
| Speaker companies with a focus on parts quality and measurements I just want a highly resolving speaker. MUST it have Accuton drivers? Why do dealers look confused when I say the word "resolution"? | |
| Which is better Coax or Optical cables Plastic fiber TOSLink cables -- basically everything available on Amazon -- are junk. Cheap plastic cables can barely handle the bandwidth required for 44.1/16 (for the most part not even that) forget about anything higher. The problem stems from ... | |
| Anticables Okay guys, OP here with an update.I ended up sending the 6.2s back, which AntiCables honored quickly and without fuss. I had an 845 SET amp coming in from China as I suspected my Emotiva was really letting me down (which, as it turned out, was the... | |
| Anticables Tomcarr,Thanks for the tip, I'll try that arrangement. | |
| Anticables Well I've been burning the 6.2s in almost non-stop.I sent back the Teac and replaced it with an Emotiva A300. I know this amp isn't exactly the best amp in the world, but it certainly beats the little Teac. I'll run some comparisons on the speaker... | |
| Anticables My system is in a state of flux right now. Recently I began investigating speakers coming from a headphone background. I've tried the 6.2 cables on a Teac AI-301DA and a Schiit Mjolnir 2. The Teac is used as a speaker amp, but I'm unhappy with its... |
