Tubes, cheese, wine and cognac
I think that in that era tube production was crucial as there where no semiconductors and tubes were used not only for home for entertainment but also in military equipment. Nowadays tube production is no more if a primary importance, it is done f...

@noromance , if cannot be detected visually, can one detect a damaged cathode resistor by measuring the outcoming voltage (sorry, if this is a silly question)?   
Tubes, cheese, wine and cognac
Thanks for your posts (grapes collected long time ago may have better flavour). I have some idea now on old collected grapes and old wine fabrics that do not exist anymore. 😏 Goot point, @petg60 - it might well be the case that new amps are orien... 
Best DACs under $7,000.00
Thanks @blisshifi . I understand what you say. In fact, i like the clean, natural tonality of DAC 8, and am i not sure if i wish some coloring coming out of my DAC. The body and the other features i consider to be the task of amp and preamp mainl...

@blisshifi , how would you compare the sonic features of DSD DAC 8 with those of DAC 200? I own DAC 8 and am quite satisfied with it.  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Well, if this is the case, yes...  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@jjss49, I am too far from electronics, but a common sense says that there may be something rational in some critical suggestions. Of course, someone like, you, better understanding the technical background, may really be true that such "suggestio... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@atmasphere , I agree with that whenever SQ can be affected, but making thick chasis just to  protect the amp during the shipping seems to me unreasonable - just pack it well!  I think what @kuribo says is very reasonable, and this is not somethi... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@juanmanuelfangioii , allow different points of view. Do you think that it would be better if everyone will repeat the same? It is good to have different opinions and some criticism. By the way, @kuribo never said that he does not like Atmosphere ... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
PS. Since SS cannot be, SW. S comes in mind  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
What about "Switching state" (class D) amplifier?  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@pstores, the things similar to what you say about atmosphere class d amplifier was earlier declared in different threats in respect with the Peachtree GaN 400 and Voyager GaN 350 amplifiers, in particular. It is difficult to  visualize the extent... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Are there clear evidences of the superiority of one GaN amp over other GaN amps? Concentrating just on GaN amps,  the observations made for Atmosphere GaN monos may well be applied to a number of other GaN amps. I honestly can see no proof of sup... 
Competitive class D amp suggestions
@twoleftears , I wonder how this integrated amp sounds with this speaker impedance correction feature. E.g., the distortion at higher order harmonics (the pick at 1k and the following ones at 2k etc) is considerably higher than that of the first, ... 
Competitive class D amp suggestions
​I used the LSA GaN Voyager  in my main system for a few days. Not surprisingly, it didn't sound worse in the main system, which is a good characteristic. At the same time, the main system revealed some technical problems related to the amp. I not...
