| High end Class D amps? Got to say, the PuriFi class D amps I got from Apollon sound REALLY good. Clear and detailed without any edge. | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? It seems I have found the best answer. I wrote to JL Audio, calmly explaining the issue. Given the history of repairs to my subs, they offered to fix this one under (the long expired) warranty. A generous offer and one I expect to accept. | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? Thanks again, guys, for the comments. A lot to mull over. | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? I'll add Hsu to my list. Thanks! | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? Erik -- It appears that JL Audio under-spec’ed some electrolytics on their plate amp; when they repair, they use higher-spec ones.My subs are v.1 and have only the one-band ARO (EQ) -- which I don’t use, as my Anthem STR Preamp does more. A repair... | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? Thanks, guys, for the advice. @golfnutz - I considered doing it myself the last time. Decided against it because of lack of space, poor eyesight, and mediocre soldering skills. However, I may reconsider this time. | |
| Does Age Matter? 72. Digital only: it has no wow and flutter, no pops and ticks, excellent sound (like LP, not necessarily, but just as possible), and a MUCH larger repertoire. My tastes far exceed what’s available on LP, and I long ago tired of the fussing with V... | |
| Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues Sure, the DAC probably is the limiting factor, but whether it’s of any consequence or not depends on you. It’s quite uncertain whether anything higher than 24/96 adds value or sound quality to the experience. Some say they hear it; but most blind ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I have listened quite carefully to a pair of monoblocks made by Apollon Audio using the PuriFi modules. In my system, in my room, with my own source material, I consider them in the same league as the well-respected Class AB amp I normally use -- ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? To the OP:Calling PuriFi "junk" because you don’t like something you bought that has PuriFi modules in it makes no sense. I bought some iced tea that tasted bad. Does that mean tea is junk? Water is junk?You don’t like the amps you bought, underst... | |
| Do speaker wires matter If you had said the wires were 30 feet long, I’d say, look for wire with relatively low inductance. (High inductance will cause a rolloff of high frequencies and may interact with the speaker and/or amp.) It’s doesn’t have to be expensive -- the B... | |
| DAC's Made in the USA The Lynx Hilo is made in the USA. It is reasonably priced for what it offers, which is more than you are looking for. | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? When I’m selling, I respond to all offers. That doesn’t mean I counter or accept them. Some, I just say, "No, thanks."I think it’s better business practice to respond promptly to anyone who bothers to send an offer. I’ll go further, I find it rude... | |
| Do speaker wires matter I agree the Marantz is probably underpowered for these speakers.How long are the speaker wires? | |
| I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building I'm encouraged that you aren't planning to put impervious flooring on the slab of your room. Not doing that, you have dodged a bullet IMO.Regarding paint, many products claim to "seal" concrete with epoxy or paint. I would not use them, because it... |
