| Class D Amp For 'Stats? Unsound, you may have a good point. Apogees have historically been known as downward tilting sounding speakers, especially the Scintilla. However, "bright" is a symptom I can't abide. I detest any sort of distortion. My speaker's highs are as swee... | |
| Class D Amp For 'Stats? Art, I imagine you forgot my speakers have an impedance of eight tenths of an ohm. One H2O owning fellow I know is trying out his on new ultra light ribbons at .4 ohms, and likes very much what he is hearing. | |
| Class D Amp For 'Stats? One will run into a lot of pitfalls when trying to implement the H2O (I have the Sig monos). For me, there is no doubt they are the best amps I have ever had in my system. I have found any speaker cable that has anything but minimal insulation coa... | |
| Class D Amp For 'Stats? Never mind Distephenson. Either he has limited experience with this new genre, or an inhospitable system hindering their proper function. See my system review, at: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1133363314&read&3&4& | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? I use to think wires made no difference. Shoot, if I go back far enough in time, I didn't believe their were differences in amps. Consumer report's DBT articles agreed with me. I absolutely heard a difference in front ends, and speakers, so that's... | |
| Audiocircle forum gone to the dogs? I find the Circles to be just as you perceive, Dave. I have never learned anything of use over there, because I don't have any interest in their pet products. The whole atmosphere is way to up-tilt cigar in the face clubby to me. | |
| What does 'Fast mean? Glidewriter, is right when he says, "Truly fast gear will track complex waveforms precisely, neither lagging behind rising edges or overshooting trailing edges." As an example, Class D amps are fast. They don't waste nearly as much energy during t... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Fcrowder, I hear you. Frankly, the only amp eater made by Apogee is the Scintilla, my speaker. The Diva needed to be bi or even triamped. That can be expensive. The Duetta Sig is easy to drive. The 1 ohm Scintilla is the best sounding Apogee, save... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? That old, "Source first," axiom must come to rest. No golden ear front end has ever overcome the deficiency of other components. Besides, the title of this topic thread is, "What best speaker have you ever heard." In my case, I bought the best spe... | |
| H20 impedance question Hang in there, I'm trying to find out. | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? I am using an upgraded, and modified PSA Lambda for a transport to my also modded Audio Note DAC. I have to manually operate the drawer of the Lambda. I am intrigued by using the DVDROM on my new computer to feed the DAC. What is the best connecti... | |
| Acoustic Reality vs. NuForce Rowland 201 and 501 are ICE-ASP amps fitted with a digital power supply. I think Plato is right on their sound. The H2O uses an ICE-A which requires an add on power supply. The H2O has a whopper of a linear analog power supply. It sounds very diff... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Or... Is erasing an option at this forum? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler......my mistake. I honestly thought this was an open preamp discussion. I will erase, and save for a system review. Thank you. | |
| Mono blocks-High current/low impedance...options? Oh, so you are the high priest of science here too, I suppose. I am honestly telling you Henry's amp's sound is not something you can extrapolate from that of your own. You can't accept that. What I meant when I said "Henry's party" is your pit bu... |
