| The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers In terms of sound good Class D amps I have heard and good tube amp setups I have heard differ not just in components used end to end but soundwise as well. Tube amps often provide some degree of warmth through the midrange. Class D amps I have hea... | |
| The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers My Class D amps at home are top notch.At the gym, they use inexpensive pro Crown Class D amps with large horn loaded speakers and instructors use their Apple devices as source. Not audiophile material in there with lots of echo and speakers in cor... | |
| I s Benchmark the "Benchmark" Chris I have a bel canto c5i integrated. The dac is pretty good and probably not bel cantos best so that says something. Would like to compare to Benchmark. I also have mhdt Constantine dac in my main rig currently. It is very musical and engaging... | |
| The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers Although technology is much different, I think it a good analogy that Class D eventually will do to other amp designs what digital cameras did to film cameras. it may take another 5-10 years of market growth still to totally dominate in most commo... | |
| The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers Screw the technical theories and assessments. Listen to some and make your own assessment.You might like them better than a tube amp or not. There is a chance. It all depends. There is a lot of top notch performers out there of all types to consid... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. Phono is an inherently flawed from the get go 100 year old technology. It'll never be perfect. Probably never much more than possible today. Cart alone is not fo concern. The entire system setup and how well done and integrated (cart/arm/table/pho... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth ARC sp16, just teh sligtest touch of warmth, ah, hard to distinguish as a tube pre-amp from listening, just sounds organic and good. I use mine with a Linn Axis TT as well. I used it with a 60Kohm Musical Fidelity amp for awhile with very good res... | |
| Calling all SET fans Ironically, I was looking at those Mapleshades and almost jumped. Then I found the Isoacoustics that appeared to address the same issues for 1/3 the cost and with many rave reviews on Amazon. Much different aesthetics though. isoacoustics are desi... | |
| The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers I have Bel Canto ref1000m mono blocks and c5i integrated amp. | |
| Calling all SET fans I have Isoacoustics stands under my Triangle Titus. The difference was huge, night and day in detail, soundstage, imaging, bass articulation. Herbie dots are a similar product to help isolate speakers from floor and room acoustics I believe so sim... | |
| The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers One can argue that we're already there except that Class D technology will likely continue to improve and become more affordable still for the foreseeable future. I've heard many amps and systems over the years. I could not be happier with my Clas... | |
| Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next Insanity sounds like an effective pastime. Us audio kooks should know. 🤑 | |
| Calling all SET fans Insanity is a very effective pastime. 🤑 | |
| Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next Count Czarivey....👹😱 | |
| Calling all SET fans AL just a gut estimation but I suspect the 90 db estimate to be reasonable based on the relative volume I achieve off the Titus compared to the other speakers I run off the same amp, dynaudio monitors and the Ohm Walsh both of which are generally ... |
