| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? C'mon...we know you're out there!!!!!! | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes "I think a lot of my skepticism is directly related from understanding enough of the related science, or having friends that do, to understand how misleading a lot of the "science" manufactures give to support their products."Yea, that's all part ... | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Audiophiles care a lot about subtle things, a lot of which cannot be easily measured or quantified. It s kind of like The Twilight Zone. Hard to know the difference between what is real and what is not. One hears something, the next does not. A lo... | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Stirring up the mice again, eh?I am confident I can tell when my analog ICs change between the 3 I have tried at least: dnm, MIT, Harmonic Tech. Each is clearly radically different in design. Not all are so much so. I would not say I could always ... | |
| New speakers for an old receiver Yea, I guess what I am trying to say about the Triangles is that they are very fast, transparent and neutral sounding and do what they do extremely well. They would certainly allow the inherent sound of the vintage Marantz to shine through. What t... | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? There are devices available that use very high quality clocks that can be inserted between digital source and DAC to help assure accurate timing and reduce jitter. Such a device with most gear can probably only help and not hurt. How much in each ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? CDs/digital is exhilarating for me these days. Is that a strong enough adjective? Bad digital is fixable and should be made old news by one who cares. The only question is how good can it get from here and what else might still be around that can ... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Audio Fan ravagedTaken out by oddus orderus harmonicas no doubt. | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited I'm in the camp that says being able to track records designed to be an obstacle course does not mean better performance in general.Thank god Redbook CD specifications put practical if not ideal limits on what is possible so we don't have to worry... | |
| When is a Listening Room Too Big Good point by John regarding how one may have a preference for a certain size room that has nothing to do with sound quality.I have 3 rooms running speakers off my main rig using in-wall speaker wires that run from the room where my gear is locate... | |

| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Assuming different modules used, like ABletec or Pascal or Icepower, make a difference in the sound, which I would expect to be a reasonable assumption, it bothers me that D-Sonic is not more forthcoming about what goes into what models that they ... | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification When I record vinyl to CD or digital CD res .wav file, I am generally not able to tell that CD or digital file is now the source.I'm not saying my vinyl playback rig is the best out there, but it is pretty good, better than most, and sounds wonder... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D It's not always clear on this site who is in "the business" or not, so I have no problems with that being pointed out.In the case of Atmasphere, it would be silly to question his credentials, and he obviously knows what he is doing. He is in "the ... | |
