Time to buy a class D amp?
Thanks @sumaato for sharing your experience with using different pres for PS audio Stellar S300 amp, and thanks @darstar for letting me know about ATI class D amp (yet unknown for me). Did you select an integrated one or otherwise which  preamp ar... 
Time to buy a class D amp?
I think Tim gave a very clear and justified response. Both, listening experience and scientific measurements prove that class D amps are the most quiet ones, not only with the highest signal to noise ratio, but also, with the highest ratio perform... 
Time to buy a class D amp?
Looking at your posts, I have noted that made an error in my initial post. I wrote: " I have no doubts that they (class D amps) posses the maximum ratio performance/sound quality among the amplifiers of all classes", whereas I meant that class D ... 
Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer?
i think it matters the music played and how played  on the instrument, not the instrument itself. for instance, miles davis trumpet is not just a trumpet music, it  is miles himself and his soul, like coltrain's saxophone. can you compare coltrain... 
Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK?
I can tell you on my experience using 50 watts manley stingray with thiel cs 6.3 and even with larger cs 6s. Stingray perfectly drived cs 3.6 s for many years. Later i used 200 and 300 watts solid state amps with the same speakers. I cannot say th... 
Anybody has an idea of how good Primare DD35 transport is?
Your message was very helpful, thanks! I will cease with this option, and will certainly consider Jay's Audio transports, new for me. I care only CD reproduction, so it seems that conceptually these transports are so designed. Did you have a chanc... 
I need your suggestion for a Preamp.
I am very curious if there is a notable auditable difference between PS Audio BHK preamp and its younger brother Stellar Gain CellTM preamp, in particular, with PS Stellar S300 amp? Stellar Gain Cell also is a DAC (an obvious advantage) not sure i... 
Help with a suggestion for using audio equipment in extremely humid climate conditions
Thanks guys, for your input! Surely, I meant more or less expensive gear, otherwise there would be no concerns. I have heard from the people leaving on the coast that electronics like TVs, DVD players do suffer from being close to a sea. This was ... 
Speakers positionning
Obviously depends on the size of the speakers and room. I think there is a critical distance, for any pair of these components that cannot be shorten. Then you may widen it as long as you feel that the sound remains unified. Once you hear that it ... 
Accuracy vs. musicality
Who knows the definitions of "accuracy" and "musicality"? Do you wish to be imposed by someone's ideas on what the accuracy means? And musicality is your personal matter, what you consider or not musical. Depends also on the music you listen. If y... 
Thiel CS2.4 to what?
To my experience, Thiel speakers correctly reproduce the sound as it was recorded given that you have other adequate audio equipment. CS2.4 speakers do need a subwoofer, perhaps, this is what you are missing for enrich your soundstage. I suggest k... 
Why Miles Davis late alboms are not well recorded?
I also suggest that this issue has something to do with Miles himself (it would be quite questioning if he would not notice the sound quality of his recordings). Different layers could have, in principal, caused some unexpected results. But was ea... 
Why Miles Davis late alboms are not well recorded?
I am judging solely based on the CD reproductions (my LP collection is about 20k km far away from Mexico where I live now, and there I have no decent audio equipment now). I have heard many well and some excellent recorded CDs, even ones which are... 
Why Miles Davis late alboms are not well recorded?
P.S. The next "better" recorded fusion album is perhaps the following 1970 "Big fun" 
Why Miles Davis late alboms are not well recorded?
Indeed, I have missed this, perhaps, the only and the earliest (!) "fusion" album which is well recorded (a mystery, why?)!
