| Best midrange on SS amp ? H2O - the most natural amp I have ever heard. H2O is a start up company. There is no web site as yet. I can supply an email address for anyone interested.I don't know if a class D amp is considered "solid state." I think it is still germain to the... | |
| i am trying to get a smooth vinyl sound from cd Jayctoy, you need to read this: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue12/sacd.htmI'm using a $130 Liteon DVDROM for a transport. | |
| i am trying to get a smooth vinyl sound from cd The no oversampling Audio Note is so right. It is smooth and dynamic. | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Yes, Sean, what is your take on it? | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Somebody started a good thread recently exposing the purposefully cranked up bass response of recent ultra expensive speakers, the explanation being, "That's what the buyer wants." Those of us looking for the Holy Grail of true fidelity are in a d... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Thank you, Sean. Perhaps the 76db rating of the Scintilla is not the limiting factor in it's compatability with amps. I should add that the Scintilla is rated .8 ohm, or neary a dead short, which is what nearly all amps choke on. Yes, class D modu... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Sean, I generally listen to my Scintillas at levels around 75db. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I believe my hearing will be better preserved. I've attended scores of live events, from intimate acoustic to stadium extravaganzas. I'm comfortable with my l... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Everything you had to say, Sean, left the science behind my speakers (.8ohm/76db) unscathed. The prodigious energy required of my amps (class D) goes into creating the huge force fields needed to move large surface area ribbon drivers. The ribbons... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Sean, I'm not a techy. I just want to understand where your inverse equation (more efficient = less distortion) figures fit into my least efficient speaker's spectacular performance. There must be some serious variables skewing the distortion vers... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em I just arrived, and I already miss UncleKrusty. I believe all he was saying is that too often people are disregarding the flaws of their box components, while attempting to sooth the flaws with expensive wires.That's not to say magic boxes aren't ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers I'm with Dennis_The_Menace, with minor reservations.With the great older speakers out there, you needn't spend a lot on speakers. Also, new midfy front ends are closing in on hify performance. Virgil, you may be correct that $2000 amp upgrades wil... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? One only hears of the Apogee Scintilla in derogatory amp eater terms occasionally. Almost no one has heard them. That is a pity. IMHO the Scinilla is the greatest speaker ever devised. It is the only speaker I know that is fully articulate, seamle... | |
| Northern California Hello Panalolog and Flikkit. We have an informal group whose members are all both eager to share and gain knowledge. There is a wide selection of components, and music tastes in Sacramento. Write to me. | |
| XLR to RCA adapters The Aleph P and the eAR are fully balanced. My CDP is not. Actually it is not a CDP, it is a DVDROM. All I know, is going RCA with my rig is so much better than balanced with any other rig, there is no question rca is better in my experience. If o... | |
| ribbon or electrostatic speakers That is great news! How much are they? I have heard complaints about their looks. Of course, that is a personal bias. I bet they are very costly. This is why I treasure the Scintilla. It's cheap. It is a son of a gun to power, but that isn't the p... |
