| what are the pros and cons of either amp power specification? Good answersBest performance not Always = best sound. Best sound is totally subjective. But you have a better chance at best sound when performance is good. So if you have the typical modest load speaker that would probably make me lean towards th... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? Is it a coincidence that when you put transistors in a glass tube that looks like a electron tube that suddenly the sound is called SET like? As opposed to your typical Spartan Class D amp box that no SET fan in their right mind would ever own, eh? | |

| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? Let me know when someone actually buys one and listens to it and can share their findings. I am tempted for that price but can’t justify another amp quite yet. The longer one waits, the better off one usually is in regards to the product/technolog... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D I do tend to have some concern for long term reliability of complex devices from NAD like the m33. Otherwise it seems to be the bees knees for a reasonable price versus the competition for all that it does well. | |

| any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with Yes I would look at the Cambridge streamer before dropping $4500 on one. | |

| any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with When it’s digital it is not hard to make something sound different as desired . So no doubt streamers can sound different for many reasons. Outboard DSP is likely to be able to reproduce similar results. I think it’s better to say I have never hea... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? Practically on many cases it does but performance alone may not equal good sound. Good sound is a subjective not necessarily an objective determination. | |
| Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers? The answer is No. | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D Lots of great class d besides those. I understand everyone has their personal preferences and different gear gels differently with others. but anyone who just totally disses Class D as not worthy categorically loses credibility with me instantly ... |
