| Pre Suggestions Krell KSA-250 & Apogee Scintillas Hi Eric,Are you the one who bought the Scintillas in the Bay area? And, if so, are you close enough to visit me in Sacramento? I have Scintillas, and they are a must hear, before you continue. I will show you how to save a lot of money on wiring, ... | |
| Oversampling DAC Vs. Non Oversampling? There are DACs. There are two subcategory of DACs. Digital filtered, or not. Under the digital filtered category there are hundreds of DACs to try, and each will sound different than each other to varying degrees. The DACs that do not have a digit... | |
| Class D question............... Oh God! Now you have given me hi school visions of Jesuit Priests, paddles in hand staring down at me while I try to spew out a dead language. I was wholly a morbid affair. Thanks. | |
| Class D question............... Above I said the performance of even the best of class D amps will vary widely depending on associated components. In my own system, my sound has run from dark and moody, to extra warm and bold, to spacious and airy, to now, well balanced througho... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano I kind of wonder that day I walked into Keith Yates's main music room and heard someone playing a piano somewhere down a hall. It didn't matter where I moved around the huge room, the piano was down the hall. It might have been played mono. Stereo... | |
| Class D question............... Jw94055 is right. Stanwal you have to know the audio business enablers choke at the thought big expensive amps can be usurped by less costly (less profitable) alternatives. It is in the publication's interest to prolong the golden audio stair case... | |
| Oversampling DAC Vs. Non Oversampling? When I finally get around to routing music from my G5 Mac I will definitely use the NOS DAC I am using now for two channel. On my system it has kicked ass on all OS DACs, including a modright SACD DAC, that it was put up against. That was my old N... | |
| Class D question............... Whether class D is sweet, neutral, dry and clinical, or warm and fuzzy all depends on what and how you feed the class D amp. All cable choices, source, and preamp are critical to your class D amp's performance. This is much more so than for conven... | |
| What is the best dielectric? Tbg, danged if you aren't right on the money. The boxy endings caught my interest. Making the transition from wide ribbon to spade required some necking. I shrink wrapped the ends. I have no intention to sell, so no worry. Somebody showed me Maple... | |
| What is the best dielectric? Kijanki, the proof is in the playing. Having been trained in the sciences, I look at the job the SC has to do and formulate a best means to assist the SC in it's job. It was hearing a Shunyata Helical SC that convinced me I had to find a replaceme... | |
| What is the best dielectric? On my sensitive system, dielectric's very audible noise is proportional to the thickness of the dielectric. The conversation here says to me the idea of minimizing dielectric presence has caught on. That is a good thing. I use a very short, very v... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Thanks for steering us back to the subject at hand. | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? Hi Mapman,I have heard my same amps used with a tube preamp, and the sound was just what many may want. It was very smooth, clean, and musical. I prefer no tubes in the preamp, as long as that preamp is the H2O Fire. A 6moons review is in the futu... | |
| Power Output of Class "D" amps I have the infamous 1 ohm Scintillas. The H2O ICE amp can run these babies to their output limit of 110 decibles without loosing composure, or change of sound. | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Shadorne, you are right to point out overworked tweeters will smear over subtle resonances. The Scintilla has yards of tweeter that never sound overworked. Highs flow off the ribbons naturally. The mid ribbon is married to the tweeters so one cann... |
