| Help settle a streaming argument! I somehow missed the electric cars, a good point. They are closer to class D amplifiers. Perhaps, future Class X amplifiers will be conceptually closer to the electric cars? And yes, if i buy another car, it can be a performance electric car. F... | |
| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? To my practice, solid state amplifiers need more warming up time than tube ones. I have two of them, one push-pull with 12 tubes and the other SET with four tubes. In a few minutes they sound good, while my class D solid state amplifiers need a fe... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! You can look at this also in a different way. Consider a car engine as an amplifier and accessories, perhaps tires as a streamer. Most of us, in terms of cars, have a V6 or V8 or at least V4 turbo amplifiers (which as you know note can have a lot... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! Yes. Look at this in this way. Take a 8 cylinder car and a four-cylinder one. When you run fast or go up to a hill you feel that your 8-cilibder car is less forced than the 4 cylinder one. | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! @fastfreight , yes your argument is of course clear. But curiously, based on my personal practice and observation, the better are your amplifier and speakers, the better they do their job and these differences somehow diminish. | |
| I Cried Today It is good to share such thoughts/feelings. It gives more value and sense to our life. | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! OP , I'm using Bluesound Node 22i for years as a streamer with an external DAC (it's DAC is not good) . It is a good streamer, the software is nice, easy to use and works reliable enough. Reading so much, in threads like this, on a "day and nig... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? I also find the newer generation JM Lab Focal speakers bright and thin especially in lower midrange. To me, the price range focal now suggests for their speakers is quite exaggerated compared to the sound quality they give. | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition There is an orchestral soviet Melodia version that I like. And I love ELP album with the same name, I think it is a really good interpretation and a piece of work despite that it was recorded live. | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature To my needs experience, solid state stuff needs much more warm up time than tubes stuff which sound already fine after a few minutes of warm up. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? Mark Levinson "Interleaving of multiple Class D Amplifiers is potentially a step in the right direction, but does not go far enough.Personally I think that the best option would be something that combines a Class D Amplifier for the heavy liftin... | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections The answer is very simple - it was so cheap that I don't care. So far it feels working reliable and doesn't get hot at all. As to the parts, there are photos without the cover where you can see even some part numbers. It would be a complete ignora... | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections There are simple exceptions from the rule "the more expensive, the better". Some time ago I bough a Chinese clone of a very expensive Swiss amp. The clone is claimed to perform 99% as the original one and it costed about 15 times less than the ... | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections I understand your point of view. But in my experience, the price does not necessarily determine the SQ, and they are not necessarily proportional (and not only is audio stuff). Jay's Audio CD transport is known to be one of the best, hence I don't... | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections ghdprentice , Your experience with digital audio and LP reproduction is valuable. It did not come to my mind to compare streaming with LP reproduction, partly, because my turntable is not so good. Besides, I have not so many LPs of the quality I l... |
