| Which power amplifier match audio research ref 3 This really depends on what speakers you are trying to drive.enjoy | |
| Mark Levinson 36 dac or Theta Gen V Best? I compared the Theta DS Pro Gen VA DAC and the Mark Levinson No 38 CD Player/DAC and the Theta was slightly better than the DAC portion of the No 38 player. The Theta DAC is an outstanding DAC. Don't get me wrong, the Levinson is outstanding also,... | |
| Re Biasing a SS Amp? Usually, and I do mean usually, not always, an amp designated as class A/B (as with most amps, regardless of class A or A/B) has several stages, each of which has circuitry that is "biased". Every transistor or tube in the circuit path has to be "... | |
| Another cheater plug thread Newbee; I agree with Atmasphere on this. If you unplug and disconnect every piece of equipment and then plug in the Amp to the speakers and turn it on and no noise. then plug in the pre-amp to the amp and no noise. Then plug in the CD player and t... | |
| Paypal Interesting posts. I typically would take bank certified cashier's checks or cash. I would ship the item when my bank tells me that the cashier's check has finally cleared. I use paypal only if the buyer insist on me using paypal. If that is the c... | |
| The Night Air Peak generation and load is during the day. Therefore, most base loaded generators are operated during the day and not the evening. Therefore, more distortions, noise, voltage and frequency variations during the day. So yes, it is better at night ... | |
| Another cheater plug thread I strongly agree with Atmasphere and some others. Fix the problem, don't cover it up and cross your fingers hoping for the best. Find the cause of the ground loop (it is fairly simple but tedious to do this), and either fix or replace the faulty p... | |
| Audiophile 'Attitude' It's not the specs that matter as you are relating them. It is the R&D work, parts, construction, overhead, amount of units you expect to sell, market, etc. that establish the price. Specially made parts that costs way more than off the shelf ... | |
| Audiophile 'Attitude' Most serious dealers have demonstration equipment which is basically brand new equipment set up in their stores for people to listen. I know the market is slow right now for many reasons. price that some people feels is wayy too high is one reason... | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced this is seriously funny to read. IMO most equipment including tweaks are seriously overpriced. But this was discussed in detail in previous posts. R&D, materials, price point competition, market, estimated number of pieces to be sold, seriousl... | |
| Audiophile 'Attitude' I didn't mean to start a wind storm regarding on line purchases. Most on-line companies don't have the staffing of brick and mortar stores. Nor do they have the overhead. You know, salespeople, demonstration people, people that talk with you, set ... | |
| Audiophile 'Attitude' Here is the problem with purchasing on line due to a bad experience with a sales person. On line purchases eliminate brick and mortar stores. Shoes, computers, clothing, electronics, etc. The stores go away and so do the jobs. So when we are all c... | |
| Audiophile 'Attitude' Don't cross Martin Logan Speakers off of your list just because a sales person was a real jerk. They did not own the company, just the store and there are several examples of store owners or dealers that were pompus or jerks. However, I simply sea... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Very good, insightful and funny.well done! | |
| Unusual TAS bomb Does anyone here honestly think that Audio Research would put out a new piece of equipment one level from the previous piece if they didn't feel that it was superior? People that owned the DAC 7 would do a direct comparison with the DAC 8 before b... |
