How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks
ErikBelles reference 150 v2 class ’B’ ampDavid has started with a clean slate for the Reference series, and this amplifier bears little resemblance to its ancestors. The 150A Reference V2 is a Class B design that provides 125 watts per channel int... 
Know about PranaFidelity?
They are beautiful sounding speakers. They have a humanness to them. No aspect of their sound really sticks out to me. They do cause you to focus on the music in the best of ways and not the sound itself. You can call and talk to the designer Stev... 
How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks
Thanks Erik. Nice thread. I have to say I  am interested for the first time in class d amps because of the thread on a gan device amplifiers. I have a class b amplifier and it is an excellent amplifier. 
Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables.

The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing
That would be nice if it could be correlated to what we perceive as 'human sounding musical pleasure'. Then it could be designed into our components. But so many, by my wild approximation of 250, systems I have heard most have a very small measure...

Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience
A dealer can save you money in the long run by getting what you want the first time. So it can also save you time. A good dealer is priceless. And I do not work for a dealer or have any friends that do, or even work for them. I have personally had... 
I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind...
Hey BAs individuals on the hunt for better sound. It can be like a locksmith trying to find the combination to the lock by listening and feeling when turning the knob. And then he turns it in the last right spot. There was only one last right spot... 
How did a bands' name originate?
In an attempt to create a mystery around the groups first hit record in 1965, "Shakin' All Over", Quality Records credited the single only to "Guess Who?"It was hoped that the public might assume the "Guess Who?" identity was deliberately maskin...

Skeptic or just plain hard headed
Barnettk I appreciate your good nature of responding to everyone. I get particular about how my system sounds for awhile, after I am happy, I just enjoy it. Doesn’t matter why really if I am enjoying it. I leave it for 5,10, 15, or 20 yrs and not ... 
Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns
Like Dorwad said previously, I recommend the Total Contact product. About a half an hours work and I bet you will be surprised and probably amazed at how much improvement can come from one little adjustment. This is a slight bit more that a notice...
