| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! I run ls50s off BEl Canto ref1000m amps (500w/ch). Top notch for their size and within their associated limitations! When the music starts it sounds very real, not like a hifi! They need a well integrated sub or two in addition to an amp up to the... | |

| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong YEs TI appears to have GaN based Class D modules now and can’t imagine those cost much more than their others. Anyone know of amps that use these?FWIW I have a ~40-50 w/ch Fosi Class D bluetooth integrated amp that uses a TI Class D module. It’s s... | |
| Bel canto Ref600 versus PS Audio M700 I'd like to know too. | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? Yes delivering the details of massed strings in a good recording is a big time hifi performance test, one of the toughest! So much going on harmonically at any particular time with massed strings!I have a Denon DL103R cart on Linn Basik tonearm o... | |

| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? Hey Uber, google search on that model Sansui comes up blank. Is A-2100 the right model #? | |
| A "best amp for Ohm Walsh Tall 1000's" question with a twist... I’ve not heard any of your gear, but on paper, that amp appears to be a good match.The OHMs like power and current, but if you are not looking to go louder and clearer, that may not matter.Class D amps (most efficient) will likely produce a notice... | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? Lots of very cool vintage integrated amps out there. One less obvious thing to watch with this stuff, besides the age and operating condition, is that many popular modern speakers tend to be smaller and less efficient compared to when these units ... | |
| Klipsch Forte IIIs vs. Heresy III with a sub The Forte IIIs really lay recordings bare. The difference from good to bad ones on the Forte IIIs is about as big as I've heard. Not sure the Heresy's are similar in that regard. | |
| Tribute bands or bands/artists making a comeback..any favorites out there?? "The Musical Box" does a very good and authentic classic Genesis show.Another very fun one based out of Baltimore/DC metro area: http://www.mccartneyexp.com/ | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? So I suppose it’s safe to say you do all your critical listening from 100 yards away now? That would be interesting wouldn’t it?More practically, I’ve come to realize how big a factor room acoustics is in determining the sound (perhaps the single... | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Pre-amp upgrade to Audio Research made a big difference but biggest difference ever was first time I heard my Class D Bel Canto ref1000m amps. It was a total sound transformation from prior and I wondered what the heck just happened? My ears had t... |
