| Good DACs have known benefits, But what About Streamers Frankly I cannot definitively identify much if any real difference in the streamers I use whereas I can with most everything else even ICs and power cords in some cases. No two DAC configurations seem to ever sound the same for sure. However stre... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification That is not what I said. Class D sound sound and design has progressed a lot and will continue to. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? FWIW I was considering SET several years back prior to trying Class D first. So glad I did! Never happened! Will only get better! | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Not much demand for it these days apparently, though I tend to agree linear tacking is a very desirable approach in theory for tracking a record but it has to be realized well in a product that people have good reason to buy. Although turntables h... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification GaN, aside, I definitely recommend people always seek out and consider the latest and greatest technical innovations that can clearly help move things forward, Class D or otherwise, especially before dropping big bucks on older technology alternat... | |

I've used it with a variety of speakers, some that can lean towards being a tad fatiguing with the wrong amp.No reason to st... | |
| The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions? I'd say any good quality amp 80-100w/ch or more won't hurt, robust with good current delivery, damping factor, not unusually low, should work well. Does not seem a natural to match with a tube amp but not to say a good one with enough power mig... | |
| The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions? I mention the active ls50 option mainly because the ls50 sound seems to vary a lot depending on amp and I read KEF nails that for you with the active version for only ~ 1K more.I have the passives and have heard them sound meh on some amps and wow... | |
| The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions? You could build around the active version of ls50 and save space and money invested. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Sunshine is a good thing. | |
| Kef LS50 and foam port plugs I have the plugs in. If I did not use a sub with them plugs would come out to extend the bass. |
