| Personal amp evolution Since my last post here, 8 years ago on 12-16-09, I traded up from the very good sounding Clayton M200 monos to their big brothers, the M300s. The list below picks things up from there. Clayton M300: 300/600 wpc into 8/4 ohms, fully in Class A. ... | |
| Dave's Picks 24 Just ordered 24 from ebay so really excited to hear it. I like the early 70’s era. Also signed up for the 2018 subscription this week through dead.net so looking forward to some good stuff next year. Poking around on amazon, I was shocked to see w... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Not yet, but they have been in touch with us current DX owners (Gen 2 here) to discuss upgrade paths and timing - excellent customer service IME.http://antipodesaudio.com/dx.html http://antipodesaudio.com/ | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? If you love your system or your cables, it’s because they are a match for YOUR ears. Be glad you found that synergy because it’s the only one that matters.Fun buster! What are you trying to do, put a stop to all the arguing, bickering, and nam... | |
| USB cable opinions Antipodes DX Gen 2 here and using Totaldac USB Cable/filter into W4S Recovery with outboard LPS then Curious Link into Metrum Pavane Level 3. Sound good to me but l haven't used the other cables being discussed here. The Totaldac USB is preferre... | |
| Speaker cable length with monoblock amps? I had some of his TG Audio 5 feet long speaker cables I traded him forMaybe he made those cables one morning after having a little too much fun with C and T the night before, or too little of his Ethiopian coffee he liked, and accidentally ... | |
| Speaker cable length with monoblock amps? Sure Geoff, draw me a picture....draw me a pint while you are at it :-)I miss Bob over on Audio Asylum. I am not convinced his 5-foot cable philosophy is correct but he certainly had a sort of down home way of looking at things and a good wit. ... | |
| Speaker cable length with monoblock amps? Ok, maybe, so what is your point? | |
| Speaker cable length with monoblock amps? The idea that speaker cables have to be a certain minimum length strikes me as an audiophile myth +1If that were true, we would all have hook-up wire coiled inside of our speakers. | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses With all due respect, I reread the article and could not find any reference to correlating listener preferences and fuse resistance or direction. There are several mentions of "the sonic differences between fuses" but the paper doesn't discuss wh... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses What the naysayers oft overlook is this: the measured results are consistent with listening results - the best sounding direction is the one with the lower resistance. Where can I find that report, showing "the measured results are consistent wi... | |
| Speaker cable length with monoblock amps? Three feet/one meter is a good length so you can move things around reasonably.The longer the cable, the more inductance, resistance, and capacitance but the difference between 2 and 3 feet is basically non-existent. For that matter, I doubt you ... | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB Sounds like you are talking about two SS amps, so probably from Pass but that is just a guess.To your question, the Class A amp will likely have a stiffer power supply and more capacitance. Also, IME, I like the sound of Class A better since to m... | |
| Aerial 10T Mk2 - Suitable Amplifier? McCormack DNA500, or DNA225 - preferably upgraded by SMc Audio.Cary 500MB monos but not the 500.1sNcore would work too, but the higher up the chain the better with the best value being the NC500 monos from Acoustic Imagery for $2K | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... From the AM advertisement; The New Ultimate is extremely difficult to build considering we are drilling into both sides of the fuse now, sometimes it takes 1-3 try's to get one good fuse [ lots of labor involved ].Sounds like a real garage st... |
