| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Hi all, Thought I'd post to let everyone know I'm still planning on giving my impressions of my new mono-blocks utilizing the Abletec/Anaview ALC-2600-1300 modules. Unfortunately, I am still awaiting delivery of my amps as of today, Sept. 27th 201... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? D-Sonic Dennis, Any impressions on the performance of your 600M vs 600M-A mono-blocks you'd care to share? Are there any significant differences at all?Thanks, Tim | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Guido, The builder, James Romeyn in Utah, has had a few issues that caused delays in the builds; he received an unexpected resurgence of orders for his more typical Hypex Ncore400 based amp builds and he ran short of some connectors specific to th... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Hi Guido,G.On your 7/20/14 post on this thread you wrote:" Meantime Tim, what's new with your quest?G." Just curious as to which Tim you were directing that at? I know you're aware that I'm currently having James Romeyn build a pair of mono-blocks... | |
| Tubes at idle Koestner, The risk of a fire from a blown or faulty tube is much lower with a tubed preamp than with a tubed power amp. However, that doesn't mean there is no risk, so it would be a good idea to turn the preamp off/unplug it from the wall ac if yo... | |
| Tubes at idle Koestner, I want to say upfront that I have no formal training in electronics and my comments are based solely from my personal experience with one tubed preamp, a VTL 2.5 that I bought new in the Spring of 2006. I had an Aragon 4004 amp at the ti... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor Hazyj, I'm kind of late to this thread and don't want to dissuade you from getting a good 2-ch preamp. However, I have a suggestion that worked for me and may work for you. I'd urge you to consider purchasing an Oppo-105 Bluray player for about $1... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, We haven't heard from you in awhile; you must be too busy just enjoying your new system. I'd really like to hear your impressions, though.Thanks, Tim | |
| Is Hype About Forthcoming NC400 Based Amps Worthy Hi Bob, Good to know; I may be looking for others to make a group request for a Hypex/Alumaniti run if I don't go with the new Pascal/Aluminati X-1 option I'm leaning toward. Their casework really is amazing visually and, hopefully, the Pascal SPR... | |
| Help ref Oppo 105 with Marantz AV7005 set up Morty74, I second Dbphd's suggestion that you sell your Marantz 7705 and run all Oppo outputs direct to your Rotel. I found I liked the sound of my system better, for both ht and 2-ch music, once I eliminated both my Parasound AV2500 preamp/proces... | |
| oppo's volume control Anjowin, I run my Oppo 105 direct to my class D amp via its 'Dedicated Stereo' xlr outputs. Prior to the 105, I used a tubed VTL 2.5 preamp with NOS Mullard tubes. The sound of the class D amp with the tube pre was excellent for music and never th... | |
| Is Hype About Forthcoming NC400 Based Amps Worthy Hi Guido, Excellent list of amps that are using the ncore nc1200 power modules. You are always a very good source of class D information. I share your interest in all things class D and currently own a ClassD Audio SDS-4440CS that replaced my olde... | |
| Tube Preamp to Match with Aragon 4004 mk2 Emarcano, The VTL 2.5. either new or used, would be a good match and lower priced alternative to the very good VTL suggested by Ryriken. I once used the 2.5 with an Aragon 4004 (original model, not a mk2) and it was a very good combo. I replaced ... | |
| Some amplifier questions Wemfan, The HDMI cable attached between the Oppo's HDMI input (will display as #3 'HDMI Back' once all has been hooked up properly) and the Directv box's HDMI output sends both your satellite signals audio and video to the Oppo 105. The Oppo has a... | |
| Some amplifier questions Hi Wemfan, Sorry, had some things to do today and just got back. Anyway, here's how to hookup the audio once the Hdmi cables are hooked up:1.Connect the 'Dedicated Stereo' Right audio output to the 'CH 1' audio input on the Parasound A31 with eith... |
