| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? That is a very informative article as are many of the replies, as usual.Only thing of value I can think to add is yes, practically, it is how the whole system functions together that matters, not specific design paradigms applied to specific compo... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? If you ge sucked into the music and it sounds bettef the longer you listen, you have a GOOD amp. Be happy. NF design is just one aspect. Alone, it means relatively little. No nfb designs in general might be better overall and there may be fewer nf... | |
| General question about Linn Axis Denon 103r low output mc cart i use with my axis/basik (i am original owner) would fit your bill. | |
| Machina Dynamica MD operates on the "Howard Stern" principle, ie any publicity, good or bad in nature, is still publicity. So ix-nay on the free publici-tay!! I think Geoff should pay to promote his wares like any normal business does and let the cards fall where ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bond,Not all 300w+ amps are created equal.With my newer OHMs, I started with a 300w/ch + Carver m4.0t amplifier. Its designed to sound like a tube amp and not particularly beefy/ high current for that wattage. Went plenty loud, but the low end ton... | |
| Squeezebox Dead? "do the Roku boxes pass 96/24 FLAC files? How do they connect with the home network, wifi?"Not sure about that, but I doubt it given the vintage of teh device. Never tried anything more than standard redbook CD resolution using both .wav and .flac... | |
| Squeezebox Dead? BTW I have two older Roku Soundbridge devices back in original packaging sitting idle since I moved to SB a couple years back. Both deliver top notch sound quality via an external DAC and work well off a good network connection to a PC running bas... | |
| Machina Dynamica Elizabeth,Obviously you have little faith in science fiction! :^) | |
| Machina Dynamica "Most tweak vendors are based on science and engineering. "Well, I might be giving many tweak vendors the benefit of the doubt still with that accounting but I suppose its all relative.Also I might clarify that the MD bell may be the only MD produ... | |
| Machina Dynamica The bell may be the only MD product that actually does something.Most tweak vendors are based on science and engineering. MD is the high end audio world's leading vendor of what is best described as "science fiction" based tweaks. Take that for wh... | |
| Squeezebox Dead? I'll probably keep my SBs until they are ready for the audio gear graveyard, which could well be for a while. Everything still works great. I have started to research and experiment with alternate, broader A/V technologies, mainly XBMC running on ... | |
| Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency "Ultimately you have to be more careful of your speaker choice; this is doubly important because a speaker that requires the amp to have feedback will never be able to sound like real music- it will at best sound like a good hifi."Hmmm, never is a... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BOndman,That's neat that you have an audio club in your parts. | |
| A Great Deal on Audiogon Its a valid point that the ability to work well with most any amp is an advantage in terms of getting good sound with minimal tweaking.Avantgardes do get a lot of accolades but I think their cost size and unconventional looks (which I like) make t... | |
| A Great Deal on Audiogon High sensitivity speakers are like listening under a microscope. Trios are one of the highest efficiency designs out there I believe! Amp power becomes more irrelevant but every nuance of the source is exposed more so than most. That would typical... |
