| The Future of Audio Amplification Great topic BTW! Amp technology HAS come a log way in recent years and continues to evolve and getting the right amp for ones needs and speakers is one of the most critical decisions to be made towards the goal of getting the best sound possible a... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Good quality Class D is the practical ticket these days (efficient and sound great done well) if your speakers require lots of power and current to do their best and you care about higher SPLS.The only equivalent alternative is a more traditional ... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification @mapman What does anything I said have to do with what I've heard? I was just roughly explaining the technology to a guy who asked a question. Hmm well you did kinda put a pretty negative spin on that technical explanation I would say. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Kosst so what Class D amp setups have you actually heard? What other set ups are you comparing to? | |
| Extremely hyped omni directionals introduced Munich 2018 Very cool. Very OHM or GP like. Except more people might afford OHM. Form is much like an OHM Walsh Sound Cylinder with a different style can on top. Taking on MBL? More GP like technically perhaps in that the magic driver is for the higher freque... | |

| LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good? Another agoner brought a pair of ls50s over to my house to hear. In larger room off high power but less damped SS amp we both agreed the sound was not good at all. Muddled and no bass. In smaller 12x12 room with vaulted ceiling and a different hig... | |
| Is it true records are sealed to look better.... Thanks for the tip on the Spin Clean. Might have to give that a try. | |
| Reel to Reel Tape A local vendor Just Audio sells refurbed vintage gear on reverb site. Look them up. I’ve noticed a handful of R2R decks on their site recently at affordable prices especially as high end audio these days goes. They had a lot of their stuff on disp... | |
| Is it true records are sealed to look better.... Just to be clear the guy was saying the record surface itself is treated prior to sale at least in some cases for the explicit purpose of hiding imperfections and looking better than actual condition and cleaning for 45 minutes with the ultrason... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Central Maryland. Been to Michigan a few times this time of year.....cold! Not very sunny here today but it warmed up a bit today and a nice southern exposure in there nonetheless. |
