| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @whitefishpoint1175 Yes, currently using Mazdas in the front positions with RCA 5814A following. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for that update. What speakers? What efficiency? Please let me know how that combo works for you with speakers. My thinking is to approach it from the other direction: Pre with NOS tubes and a GaN based amp (though I coul... | |

| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? Thanks to everyone. @jjss49 Like your picture and the music it represents. Other than environmental issues I'm not sure why I'm wedded to class D. I guess America loves the underdog. Currently using Bel Canto Ref600 monos which are class D but no... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @jackd Last year I bought a pair of AGD Audions, but returned them. Squeaky clean and detailed but thin and grossly over priced for 85 watt monos. And that fake tube thing... well, the idea of being able to upgrade is interesting. @rajugsw Thank... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @mitch2 I had a pair on loan to listen to, courtesy of a dealer in NJ. They were very nice: detailed and smooth. Interesting in that they each have a large transformer, unusual for any class D that I have encountered. I could end up buying them, ... | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? Zavfino Prima MKII OCC Speaker Cable would probably be a good match for the Pulsars. They seem to be rich in the lower and mid frequencies. In my system it is a little too much (Fyne F 1-8 speakers). I second the Rogue RP-7 preamp with NOS tubes... | |
| Sound Performance Lab Interesting... removed posts, and no reply to this one? Weird. | |
| Streaming network issues - need a geek @jgoldrick and @mike_in_nc If I do set the modem (Arris NVG443B - supplied by service provider) to passthrough will I still be able to connect my desktop and printer in the studio via ethernet to the modem (the router is in a different location in... | |
| Streaming network issues - need a geek Thanks for additional replies! @jgoldrick It does handle 4k, but just barely, and only when connected ethernet direct to the modem. I am using the modem router, and currently also using its WiFi. The modem is in my studio. I have my desktop and m... | |
| Streaming network issues - need a geek Thanks everyone for replies so far. @yage I bought a large Sony 4k TV, connected it to the Nighthawk router (tried both Ethernet and WiFi) and was not able to connect to any 4k service. Connection tested as functional. Connected straight to the m... | |
| Streaming network issues - need a geek Thanks @eranbuell, but this is not a browser issue. I'm not streaming from a computer. If you mean the NuPrime software, I am having the same issue with mconnectPlayer HD streaming to the network card in my Bricasti DAC. Both work fine when they a... | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? I had the amp-only version, Pass XA-25, driving a 97db efficient speakers. There were certainly remarkable things about the amp, most notably imaging. But when I pushed it a bit I could hear distortion. It might have been clipping, but probably fr... | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name OCD Mikey is a good guy. And knowledgable. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) TCO is total cost of ownership--I'm guessing he means power bill. TCO for class A should include the cost of back surgery. |
