| Class-D amps - a different re view Very interesting thread. My take is that unbiased, objective evaluations of which class of amplification sounds better is impossible. Hearing, like all of our senses, allows only subjective evaluations to be made. It can not be otherwise! No two p... | |
| Placette 100K volume control, problem solved Drubin - Please explain what you mean by "doesn't seen to be completely happy with either of my sources". I have been switching between a balanced PLC Sonic Euphoria and balanced Placette RVC and my NuForce Ref9s for over 6 months now to get a goo... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? I currently have both a Placette balanced RVC and a balanced PLC Sonic Euphoria preamp feeding NuForce Ref9.02 amps from the balanced outputs of a Marantz SA-11S1 CDP. I have compared both at length over the past 6 months against each other. I hav... | |
| PS Audio Noise Harvester Just want to give my experience with the noise harvester. I have had one in service for over a month. I honestly can't perceive an improvement or detriment from its use. Maybe my ears are shot. But what has fascinated me is the unpredictable behav... | |
| Review: van den Hul The Orchid Interconnect Zaikesman & Aball,I have (3) VDH mainstream PCs that I have used in my system and compared at length with the PS Audio plus cords that I am now using (not their new PCOCC copper PCs). I prefer the dynamics afforded by the plus cords over the V... | |
| Review: van den Hul The Orchid Interconnect I listen in a small dedicated listening with a full compliment of bass traps, tunes, etc. I went through many introductory level IC's until I came upon the VDH D103MkII (both RCA for my tube integrated and XLR for my SS gear). I found that their s... | |
| Thule Audio? Jh2os:I own a Thule IA60bSE integrated amp (balanced version) that I purchased used on Agon about a year ago. It is a very good unit in my opinion, with extremely excellent detail, PRAT and bass. I found it very enjoyable to listen to. I was frequ... | |
| New Antal esw any better???? Thanks for the reply Arni. I am dissapointed in the lack of response from those who have heard Triangle's esw line. Usually those who have heard or own speakers and like them are not shy about submiting a favorable reply. Does this mean that the s... | |
| New Antal esw any better???? Arni - What equipment do you now use that works well? In my small 11 x 13 dedicated listening room, the XS were still often excessively bright even when I tried a PrimaLuna Prologue 2.Jfacker - I've tried a sub, but couldn't get a smooth, coherent... | |
| a great take on big$ cables We all know its in our mind. Cheap wire ... expensive wire, copper ... silver, tube ... SS, good hearing ... poor hearing. The fun is in the journey and the discovery process. I could end my year-old sojourn into this audio hobby right now if I wa... | |
| Nuforce I have the ref 8b's running fully balanced from a Marantz SA-11S1 thru a passive-mode Adcom GFP-750. To me, the sound is absolutely fantastic with rock, big band, jazz, acoustic, etc. In general, the sound stage, imaging, bass and most of all the ... | |
| Any suggestions on coolest running monoblocks? Thanks all for your input.Fatparrot - maybe I don't need monoblocks with this type of amp. My limited experience has been that when going from a single stereo amp to two of the same amps bridged mono, the channel separation, clarity and dynamics w... | |
| Must XLR pin configurations match? Thanks for all your comments. I never realized that a recording could have polarity reversed - isn't polarity an electrical characteristic only? How and why would this be done? Also, has anybody ever seen stats on what % of CDs are reversed in pol... | |
| Radio Shack SPL Meter corrections Are corrections for the digital RS SPL necessary and if so, have any ever been posted? | |
| How can I get rid of a 4khz-8khz room spike? Thanks for the replies and comments. I think my approach will be to install some 4khz+ traps on the walls and see if this makes any difference. Maybe remove and/or reposition some room tunes as Edle suggests. If no significant effect, I will then ... |
