| Audio envy - dang! @arafiq Yes, I am implying that. Of course I could easily be wrong and it’s simply that it’s unrelated people participating in a feel-good groupthink exercise. No cables will have the amazing revelatory effects being described here, and also the a... | |
| High end Class D amps? It's problematic for class D when Bruno P. himself in an interview states that if you don't care about efficiency there's no reason to get anything but class A. | |
| Audio envy - dang! Well there's always someone who feels like investigating my posting history. Because of that I feel like I can't break the trend so it's basically become my brand.Anyway to try and expose the apparent sound staging I listened to Factory Girl from ... | |
| Audio envy - dang! Negative topic headers is my brand, don’t worry about it.My Yggdrasil has two sets of SE outputs which makes testing interconnects easy. In one group are "World’s Best Cables" interconnects. These are simply Mogami pro cables with nothing-special ... | |
| Audio envy - dang! The great deal of overwhelmed positivity over these cables is a red flag to me. Use of extreme hyperbole over cables is concerning.The fact is I discovered Audio Envy a few years ago in the market floor of an audio show, I forget which...possibly ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I communicated with the owner of VTV about what I've experienced so far and about the upgrade options. He said that he hasn't experienced what I have -- that tells me that his standards for audio quality may be lower than mine. He did mention that... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Because I’m not a cultist who’s made up my mind forever. It’s not a religion to me. If someone with experiences I don’t have relates those experiences the only way I’ll know for sure is to try it myself. It IS true that some high-end manufacturers... | |
| Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated I'm pretty sure the figure of 750 to 900 kHz, less than 1 MHz, was written somewhere in relation to the G30. I remember being disappointed that it's not the promised 1.5 MHz, but also thinking that maybe it was good enough. Recall that I used to o... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Okay so, update on the VTV.The horrible midrange seems to have mostly solved itself. That's good. There is still a smearing / lack of resolution when things get busy. Midrange sounds -- instruments, voices -- still don't sound really convincing. A... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? In regards to the Naim, I have a Chinese clone of the NAP200. It doesn't sound as good as I recalled hearing from a dealer but that was a few years ago...and might have been one of the integrated now that I think of it...anyway I haven't tested th... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I'll look around the local dealers to see if they have a SE-R1 for audition.I really am giving class D a lot of chances. Maybe I really want to believe in the promise of high-quality audio in a small and cheap package. But I didn't go into this wi... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? So, burn-in continues. There's a troublesome mid-range artifact, a harshness / blurriness that shows up in voices with "hot" recordings. Also the image seems to project especially high, but I'm not sure if that's the amp or something with the spea... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? So, the question is, does this VTV really represent a baseline of what the latest class D can do? The LKV seems interesting but for that money you could get a used Mark Levinson 585, will this really compete? Also in that price range is the big Ch... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Thank you for the information. I actually had a Freya lying around that has 75 Ohms on the SE output. I tried it out and I really didn’t notice a difference...noisy, more blurred, but that’s the Freya’s fault. In terms of dynamics I didn’t really ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I bought it without the custom input board. It uses the standard Purifi board's input and buffer, which apparently isn't bad. I didn't bother spending a bunch on custom input boards and buffers because I figured this will at least give me a fundam... |
