| Why are we going 300 or more directions? 2 gurus -> 2 directions. A limited sample no doubt but extrapolate anyway and why there might be 300 becomes clear.And that only includes people who might actually know something about this being in scope.Just stick some flying saucers on the w... | |
| Listening fatigue Agree that clipping is a likely significant factor with most any SS amp of that power rating and most better modern smaller speakers. | |
| Bryan Adams nice Bryan Adams is a very talented guy and gets an undeserved bum rap by many IMHO. Check out his MTV Unplugged recording! Sterling sound and performances. The version of "Summer of '69" on there is outstanding, much better than original for me and th... | |
| Thump noise on the lead in on warped LPs Turntables are tricky things to get set up optimally. Warped records are always a problem, but more so with some setups than others. Others might correct me, but if you hear the thump noise frequently regularly even with just modestly warping in t... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music "Creep"....good one! | |
| Bandwidth Limitations Of Class D Amps?? " But to be honest, I only have about $65k-$70k in my system, I don't have a high-end system."That's funny!If Class D amps are even in the discussion for a system in this price range, high end or not, I would say that's another good indicator that... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? I like Jneutron's statement earlier that it is design that matters, not cost. A good mantra for any decision making process involving technology! | |
| Bandwidth Limitations Of Class D Amps?? "Which means "A personal stake or involvement" in that amp."So by this logic, we can only discuss things we have no involvement with? That sounds like fun!By this logic, nobody would discuss anything anywhere because they have a "personal stake". ... | |
| Bandwidth Limitations Of Class D Amps?? George, You did not answer gc's question or address my points. | |
| Bandwidth Limitations Of Class D Amps?? GEorge,You might be correct regarding the theoretical weak aspects of Class D but my experience is that they ARE competitive with other amps, not just good for subwoofers. Many users and reputable reviewers would agree. All designs have flaws/impe... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? For amp/speaker pairings, which I agree is more meaningful, I would say quality high power Class D amps and OHM Walsh perform at the highest levels and at price points affordable to many that nothing else can touch.That is already the case with re... | |
| Review: Kef Reference Model One Speaker "i'm using "imaging" in the sense of the speaker's "ability to float specific phantom images, reproducing the original sizes and locations of the instruments across the soundstage"Practically, reproducing original "sizes" of instruments is particu... | |
| Is it all in my head? My experience has been that no two pieces of gear sound exactly the same, but differences can run the scale from little or no or insignificant difference to major difference. Usually the biggest differences can be attributed to major differences i... | |
| Help me pick some speakers I heard some GOldenears recently for the first time.I heard Aon3 off some decent Mc amplification. They were most impressive for their size and cost! Fans of ribbon tweeters and big soundstage might find these appealing. SOund was just a tad polit... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Balanced ICs would seem to be an easy solution, but a lot of home gear is not designed to use it.I have debated going to balanced myself on occasion, but frankly, I like my wire imperfections as a means of tweaking sound when needed. Just goes to ... |
