| Anyone compared Sanders Magtech vs. McIntosh MC462/52 or MC611/01 with Magnepan 3.7/20.7? Hello Jimmy, It seems like you're describing the well known acoustics principle of how loudness effects human perceptions of sound which was first scientifically studied and documented in the 1930's by Dr. Harvey Fletcher and Dr. Weldon Munson... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Hello dbphd, Wow! For a guy just getting into class D amplification, you have good taste, good knowledge and don't mess around. It looks like you'll soon have everything you'll need for a high quality, stream lined 6.4 surround system th... | |
| 3 channel amp for H/T Hello willgolf, I was using a VTL2.5L preamp (no phono stage) with NOS Mullard tubes and a HT Passthru switch. Then I discovered how good class D amps performed when compared to my class AB amps I was using and eventually replaced them all wit... | |
| Television technology - where are we? Hello nonoise, I'm wondering if the picture quality of 8K vs 4K is worth it, anyways. I've seen 4K but not 8K yet. My guess is any significant pq improvements would be dependent on viewing distance and screen size. I know OLED looks great e... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Hello dbphd, Montecito? Very nice. Beautiful area! I'm glad you bought the latest V2 model of the M22, I actually don't know the changes from V1 units but think you're most likely better off with a V2 since their performance was probabl... | |
| Better Subwoofer for 2 channel Music: Focal Utopia Sub or JL Fathom f113 akg_ca:"Ideally, you want two subwoofers so that you have true stereo separation down deep into the bass. Stereo subs can also help to lessen room interaction problems by providing two discrete sources of bass information."Hello akg_ca, Your sta... | |
| Better Subwoofer for 2 channel Music: Focal Utopia Sub or JL Fathom f113 Hello fastfreight, We all are unable to localize deep bass frequency soundwaves, that is determine where the sound is coming from, that are below about 100 Hz but we're very good at localizing higher frequency soundwaves in the remainder of th... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Hello dbphd, Here's a Cox cable site that explains how to get surround sound audio connected. It looks like you'll need to set your cable box to "Dolby Digital" and follow the instructions to feed the surround audio signal to your Oppo 205.ht... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong bigkidz, The Merrill Veritas mono-blocks at about $10K/pair are one of the best class D monos currently available. They also just introduced some even more expensive monos that use the very fast switching and new GaN transistors instead of th... | |
| Better Subwoofer for 2 channel Music: Focal Utopia Sub or JL Fathom f113 Hello jmarshak, The truth is that a single sub, no matter the quality, size or price, is not going to perform as well as two good quality subs in any given system and room. You'll achieve better in-room bass response using two good quality s... | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Hello dbphd, Great, I was going to suggest a used unit to save money but didn't know if you wanted to buy only new or were open to buying used. Once the M22 arrives, you'll be able to hear what a good class D amp will sound like with your KEF ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong audiofun, I believe the issues you've experienced with SMPSs are the result of RF interference most likely escaping from the component due to insufficient internal shielding and isolation. This is based on what I've read and not personal expe... | |
| Acoustic treatment b_limo: "@noble100, Correction, does a DBA system, or a SBA too, sound better in a treated room compared to an untreated room?"Hello b_limo, DBA is an initialism for distributed bass array. My 4-sub DBA system is in an untreated room and f... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong I also leave my two stereo and one pair of mono-block class D amps on 24/7 and they do sound considerably better when fully warmed up than from a cold startup from being off for awhile.Tim | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Hello dbphd,Now you're talking! Excellent choice. Here's a Stereophile very positive review of the class D NAD M22 amp I just read:www.stereophile.com/content/nad-masters-series-m22-power-amplifier There's also a NAD M27 amp that retails ... |
