| Oldest piece of gear you own Al, i also have a newer sangean am fm table radio that is the only modern ss radio whose reception prowess remjnds me of those older models. Maybe not quite a match, but a decent modern example of a good performing table radio in a fairly small pa... | |

| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? I recall looking at specs on line for either newer pascal or abletec (do not rremember which) and being impressed at the significantly higher switching frequency specified compared to "prior" generation Class D, like most Icepower amps out there c... | |

| Cause of different sound between dacs That's too simple. | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? I have not seen many users reviews or comments yet on how either Abletec or Pascal amps sound, much less compared to others. Technical advancements in design and execution is a good omen, but not enough alone to determine who the winners are or wi... | |
