Oh how I wish Class D amps ...
Audiofeil, the truth of the matter is, you can't make any worthwhile recommendation on my system unheard. Perchance you hear my system I suggest you would not have the temerity to challenge any component comprising my system.

Atmasphere, I have walked away from that part of my discussion. The move to the preamp I am using was made years ago when the audio picture was different. I am just happy with the way things turned out.

Might you suggest a preamp that can do better than I have? Perhaps I can get a dealer near here to bring one over for a listen. I was asked for details of my system. On hindsight I should have directed the query to private messaging.

Whiznant, I use very thin speaker cables too. I will wager there is nothing better on the market for my application. For ICs I use Speltz. They can do it all, as my system attests to. I recently replaced a Blue Jeans digital cable from my transpor...

Audiofeil, I look at my gear and see there is not one item that can be bought in a brick store. Everything is direct ordered, or I made myself. Everything got better when I stopped listening to advice from audio medial. That includes you.

Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo?
Cbr, I liked the Jolida 100 loaded with Sylvania Black Plates very much.

Audiofeil, you know how low ICE impedance runs. Solid state preamps have great trouble with this. It is not just my opinion that most solid state preamps deteriorate the sound. That is why people use DAC volume, and others line level preamps. Tube...

Ok, Dan92075, what CD players did you try? On my system all oversamplers failed miserably, especially in their highs. I use a 47 Lab Flatfish transport and a much improved Audio Note DAC. I cannot stress how important that is. All speaker cables t...

Dan92075, class D amps need patience to bring out their best. Or, you can copy my recipe. ;-)I have found what you say is the opposite of truth. That is, A/AB amps, with zero global feedback, distort the transients, not the best class D amps. The ...

This from a person who has borrowed my source duo. He has the same amps and preamp as I. "I have been listening all morning and YES!!! It is incredible. It is unreal how good the Flatfish and the Audio note sounds. It has the right amount of ambie...

Montejay, getting all those percussion instruments right would be a good trick for a system.I have another along similar vein, Kodo Heartbeat Drummers of Japan - Sheffield Lab. This one begins with with player calling to each other. The disc makes...
