| Integrated amp for Synchrony Ones You want an amp that can double power output from 8 to 4 ohms and similarly to the extent possible from 4 to 2 ohm. That is not likely to be a tube amp. Class D amps are very efficient allowing for smaller size and less power draw to do the job an... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. There was another clock prior to the Clever Little one?Does not seem as clever to me anymore. | |
| what amp under a grand? Looking at specs and measurements of the Mozarts on Stereophile they will benefit in teh bass largely from lots of power and sufficient current to drive them.The Bel Canto Ref1000m Class D amps I use with my more full range speakers would be perfe... | |
| Tandberg 3004 That would be heresy I suppose. | |
| Non-Fatiguing bedroom system? I'd consider a nice little tube integrated like Jolida FX-10 and a pair of Triangle Titus. | |
| Best speaker for songs like Heart - Alone OHM 100, 1000 or 2000 with 80w/ch + of good amplification (I recommend Class D) would do the trick in most rooms. | |

| Diana Krall, Wallflower Mil, they are all good. I'd read up on some reviews on amazon or wherever and just pick one that sounds best. I like her first "Sophie Milman" and "In the Moonlight" best. | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report "Halo" - porcupine tree. 👍👍👍 | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower Both tend to have recordings with excellent sound quality fwiw. | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower Sophie draws you in. Diana just does her thing. | |
| Is it really useless Upscaling 16/44.1 music to 24 Fwiw I use two different non oversampling mhdt dacs and the sound is some of the best digital I have heard. Oversampling dacs can do well also. I think it' s all about the implementation details and non oversampling dacs seem to have an easier tas... | |
| Is it really useless Upscaling 16/44.1 music to 24 It all depends on why it is done. To do it just to have more bits representing pretty much the same mix is probably a waste objectively. However I would think it useful if remixing or remastering to achieve a different sonic result is the goal. Th... | |
