| Is D for Dry? Class D... I have a gut feeling @atmasphere would not be soon marketing a Class D amp if the technology was somehow not up to snuff. Nor would Bel Canto which took the plunge and helped lead the charge a number of years back.My ears tell me the technology is... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... There is a pair of Ohm Walsh 2000s for sale at the music room for a good price. Don’t see those around very often. Perfect match for a nice Class D amp. | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... 2:31amWhy do some audiophiles treat class D like it’s some kind of venereal diseaseSome audiophiles are a pretty opinionated bunch I find. They like what they like and that’s the end of it. If they don’t like it it’s trash. Others are less so and ... | |
| At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home? The guy who designed my speakers says he voices them to sound like the sweet spot seats in Carnegie Hall.Having been there I’d say he did a very good job. | |

| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? Nice Tannoy story! We used to do things like that back in the ol’den days in our "lab" at Lafayette Radio and Radio Shack. Customers walking in, lots of tubes tested for free, fuses and styluses replaced, free battery cards, etc. Also checked out... | |

| What does clipping sound like? It sounds like distortion with any source that gets worse as you turn up the volume knob rather than things getting louder. | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? Do the measuring with a sound meter app and white noise to see if/what you are missing or not. Only then will you know for sure. Having that lowest octave reasonably flat in response along with all the rest makes a significant listening difference... | |

Two potential issues with boosting bass levels alone versus adding a good powered sub and setting it up properly:1) You might increase bass SPL FBOFW but not at the lowest octaves down to 20hz which is likely what is mostly missing to start in mos... | |
