| Class D Technology sean I think that is a particularly strong application for them that may be hard to match as cost effectively elsewhere.I think they are also a fairly safe bet to be able to technically drive most any speaker well up to a certain volume depending ... | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll jetrex yes I've heard the Volti speakers at shows as well and understand what you are saying. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Thanks Atmasphere for providing that very useful information.It certainly "rings" true for me.Gotta expect that the experts who make these things and do it well are aware of the issues and address them to some extent accordingly which is surely pa... | |
| Class D Technology Also keep in mind if one is keeping score, Class D amps have the advantages of small size, efficiency and ability to drive most any modern speaker well, including smaller more extended models that are very popular these days.Other SS amps can do i... | |
| Class D Technology I have two Class D amps. Bel Canto ref1000m monoblocs in my main system (with ARC tube pre-amplifier) and true digital Bel Canto c5i integrated in my other smaller setup.They each sound way different. Both are "musical" but not in the same way. Yo... | |
| Class D Technology ricred,That’s certainly a fair assessment. Everyone has their own personal preferences.Mid-fi is not a fair assessment though IMHO. No amp is perfect. In that sense they are all "mid-fi" maybe. But I tend to think not. Each can only shine best whe... | |
| Class D Technology " Right now the technology is to the point where the amps have become practical for mid fi, but they still have a ways to go before they can challenge a good class A transistor amp or a good tube amp."Mid-fi? That's actually a funny statement!As... | |
| Class D Technology " What makes today’s class D amps sound cold and dry?"I’d attribute it to the high damping factor in combo with the aforementioned transient capabilities.Mine definitely sound best with speakers that like high damping. Usually larger ones with lar... | |
| The dumbest stereo experience ever! You're welcome. | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll jetex,Audio Note always has one of teh best sounding rooms at shows I’ve been to. They seldom have rock music playing, but the larger bass driver and box used and corner placement combined with efficiency and overall quality is a very good example... | |
| The dumbest stereo experience ever! Can anything compete with Machina Dynamica? | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? mmporsche I heard a few Voxativ speakers at Capital Audiofest. Very nice! | |
| Class D Technology gdhal I think one of the things switching amps excel at is delivering power and current for very short periods of time which makes for excellent detail and transients. Its a very important aspect of music that often distinguishes great sound from ... | |
| NY Audio Show ebm stop by the OHM room if you get a chance. It’s going to be a very modest setup by high end standards but I’d love to hear your impressions.I remember listening to Magico Mini II speakers a few years back at a now defunct NY audio dealer. They ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? orpheus I believe it. I record from my Linn Axis all the time and guess what the digital recording is indistinguishable from the original vinyl.Now I am getting fancier these days as well and learning to use Audacity to make the digital recording... |
