| Audio Research D240 mkll vs Adcom GFA-555 I bought an Adcom 555 MKII, along with a GFP-565 preamp, brand new back in the 1980s and used them with Magnepans for about 5 years. I never had it modified and what teo_audio stated in his post about graininess makes a lot of sense to me. I subs... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? dutchydog, Anyone who claims class D amps are noisy has obviously never listened to one, forfeits all credibility and any further claims they make on the subject are best ignored.Tim | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround Just as I suspected, you had no legitimate purpose or reason for including and misconstruing millercarbon's prior post. Thanks for confirming this.Tim | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround " Okay listen first off its not gonna sound like it but I totally get it. People with HT setups love their HT setups in spite of the horrid sound. Or maybe even because of the horrid sound. I get that. Do not understand why anyone would want to wa... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Ryan of Red Dragon told me he's going to have an all new and upgraded lineup of amps coming out later this year. He's definitely not going out of business. Here's a copy of his email response:"Ryan Tew <ryan@reddragonaudio.com>Mon, Jul... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? I originally agreed with all that have suggested pairing a good quality tube preamp with their class D amps. For a few years I used a VTL 2.5L preamp, with the four standard tubes swapped out for a set of four NOS (new old stock) Mullard tub... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Hello ptrck887, Yes, the D-Sonic are excellent examples of class D amps that provide hi-end sound at bargain prices. Of course, there are even better class D amps available, such as Merrill Audio’s new Element 114 stereo amp that uses the new extr... | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround Hello DB, Okay, I understand. If you like the looks and sound of a HGS-10 aside each KEF Ref 1, I'd suggest you try positioning your two HGS-15s in the following manner: Leave both of your 10s exactly where they are aside each main sp... | |
| Separate subs for music and HT/surround Hello DB, It seems like you positioned your subs symmetrically in your room to make your system as visually appealing as possible. However, I strongly suspect this positioning fails to optimize the audio bass response performance quality att... | |
| Oppo 205 - Basically a PC with small Analog section "IMHO the big benefits of the Oppo were the built in Dolby/DTS decoding." Erik is correct, the 4K 205 as well as the 1080P 105 both have high quality built in Dolby/DTS decoding utilizing multiple, top of the line and expensive ESS Sabre dac c... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? George, I believe your bringing up tweeter damage supposedly caused by class D amps and warning not to leave them on 24/7 are just red herrings since these claims are poorly documented and defy reason. Are you now so desperate that you're now... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? georgehifi: "What I hear from that technology, is dependent on where the "output filter is set" to filter out the switching noise. 1:Too high and it lets through too much switching noise but with reduced phase shift into the audio band, this to me... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? clearthink, Anyone stating class D is "noisy as hell" very obviously doesn't know what the heck they're talking about. It's simply not scientifically or anecdotally true. It's not my opinion that class D is quiet as hell, it is a scientific... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? musicloversaudio: "Just no. Thin and uninvolving are the characteristics of class D, plus noisy as heck." musicloversaudio, Just your "noisy as heck" comment demonstrates you are either just making things up or have absolutely no experience li... | |
