| Competitive class D amp suggestions @embolek, how would you characterize, roughly, sonic differences between Ncore, Purifi and GaN amps ? Why you decided to try Peachtree 400 if you already had another GaN module amp? @tweak1 , did you sell the Voyager, why, did you get a better c... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Thanks for the suggestions, indeed. It is a hard task to choose an amp without auditioning it. But since i decided to try another class D amp, it may take time and more efforts to come to decision. For example, I still have no clear idea yet on th... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Jerry, VTV Purifi might be a reasonable choice (for me). I did not try yet a Purifi (or GAN) based class d amp. Could you help with more detail on auditioning this amp (in particular compared to your SET amp)? | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions A 5-6 watts SET integrated amplifier can give you enough power unless your listening are is extremely large and your speakers are too non-sensitive. Then there is no real need in hybrid setting. I have a SS preamp which gives very comparable sou... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions As I have mentioned I am fond of class D, but so far I did not audition a class D amp that sounds as natural and as clean as set class a tube amp that I'm using.y Which class d amplifier you consider sounds more natural and clean than SET class ... | |
| Will a new Dac improve the sound? Yes it will. I made tests with different CD players. A separate DAC, even a modest one, will give you a notable difference. If the DAC in your CD player is not really good and you choose a good DAC, the improvement will be very essential. | |
| King Crimson Late King Crimson alboms are really well recorded you may fully enjoy them. Among their early albums ones with Greg Lake i like more. I love to hear his voice. And Emerson, Lake & Palmer is my number one rock group - three super genius musici... | |
| Do you trust your system? The better is your audio system, the closer it takes you to all pros and contras of a particular sound recording. From there, it is a matter of a taste which kind of sound you like more (I personally like both, tube and class D amp sound, i cannot... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? According to my understanding, Rega just cloned the Audio Technica cartridge and is selling them three times more expensive with an attractive carbon name. The particular Rega carbon cartridge i have is close to defective, although I was able to c... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? Hi guys! The problem with my turntable is settled. @audphile1 your suggestion that it's cartridge was important. The first time I discovered the problem was with my new SET tube integrated amplifier. First I thought it's the amplifier. When I un... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? Thanks Steve again. Each time i play an LP i realize that this is the sound. But i do not have many well-recorded LPs and i think there are less well-recorded LPs than CDs. A few well-recorded LPs sound better for me than the corresponding CDs, ... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? I still think it’s cartridge related. Second guess would be a bad tonearm wire. One other check you can do is try to flip the channels by swapping leads and connecting the cartridge left ch to right and right ch to left. See what happens. If the ... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? Guys, i should be missing something. The signal may be coming out of a single channel/wire. If I swap the channels the signal from the working channel will move to the other channel, while the other channel will remain silent. So if, after swappin... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? Thanks Steve! I swapped the channels on the cartridge and the signal now comes from the other channel (the earlier silent one). So the problem cannot be the cartridge. I understand that it can again be in RCA terminal or one of the two cartridge ... | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? Thanks guys indeed. I will try to get a bit more inside of this perhaps the video can be helpful. There are 4 wires leading to the cartridge, white, red, blue and green. How they match with two channels? |
