| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( High end audio may also have a bit of a credibility problem especially with newbies given some of the nonsense that goes around in forums like this. This can't help. | |
| The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn" I picked up a newer remaster CD of Seventh Sojourn recently. Very nice recording. Enjoying the bonus tracks as well. The instrumental only version of "Lost in a Lost World" really immerses you and allows you to hear all the details of the k... | |
| What component to hang on to? Keep the table. Replacing a good vinyl rig is the hardest act to do again. | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted kdude the newer OHM Walshes and GPs are very similar in that regard. However both are two way designs not one driver with only physical crossovers like the original Fs. It turned out to be almost impossible to deliver a long lasting durable and re... | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted Bondman,Hope all is well.I liked the GPs at CAp Audiofest very much, as much as anything I heard there, but gotta say, sitting here listening to my big OHM F5s that I scored for a fraction of retail even after wheeling and dealing, some serious A/... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? Easy on the emoticons yapdogkait, we all know what a poodle looks like. No need for a pop quiz on that either. Why don't you give yourself a pop quiz and maybe find why you enjoy wasting everyones time so much? We'd all like to know that. | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? Pop quiz Of all the various audio cables and cords which ones are not AC? Answer: nobody cares. | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? I told you the master of all things futile Geooks would be glad to help! Maybe he can help folks if their specific power cord is oriented correctly or not. Or maybe reverse it for you to find out. For a small fee maybe. Only fair.... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? Last time I checked there was only one way to connect most all power cords. So that kind of makes directionality a moot point. You will never know if sounds better the other way or not. I would not loose much sleep over this personally but fret aw... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? What's bad about it? These are 500w/ch fairly high current amps. Every other much less powerful Class A/B amp I've had prior flipped the breakers much more easily. If not for the efficiency I would have a real challange most likely. | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? I have the Bel Canto ref1000m Class D amps. These will flip my circuit breaker if I turn them both on at the same time. Otherwise I never have a problem. The power supply seems to draw a lot of current when turned on, then not so much. I would exp... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! Specs and measurements are useful mainly as guidelines to determine what components are most likely to perform best together. Performance enables good sound but does not fully determine it. You still have to listen once you have decided what to li... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! It’s a shame if so. High End Audio seems much more interested in bling and mysticism not engineering in order to preserve itself here these days. Oh well. Much easier for all and probably more profitable that way. | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted They were best sound contenders for me at Capital AudioFest last year. That was the first I got to hear them. I am an omni guy with OHM Walsh speakers in my main hifi. Omni presentation is different more like a live performance. May take getting u... | |
| Up and coming band: Davina and the Vagabonds "Sunshine" is a CD worth having. Great music and great sound. Lots of fun! |
