| Point to Point vs Circuit Board Six of one, half a dozen of the other. If the circuit board traces are thick there will be less resistance in the trace and therefore will not be energy thermal loss. Depending on design either can have capacitive and inductive reactances that ca... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Pimaluna EVO 100 and absolutely love it and could not be happier for the money spent. The sound is amazing on the Bluesound node 2i and better yet on the Innuos mini Mk III. I compared it with another high end integrated amp before deciding to try... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I am new to Digital as well. Have a PrimaLuna EVO-100 integrated, Bluesound Node 2i running through a Shiit Bifrost DAC using AudioQuest Cables. Burn CD’s to a Innuos Mini MK III and could not be happier with the sound. I live in a small town home... | |
| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? I heard a pair of Paradigm $4500 / pair tower speakers at a B&M store on a Prima Luna EVO , and a Hegel 390. Crystal clear and very detailed on sax, cymbals, lots of soundstage and presents. Instruments, drum sound exactly like they should.... | |
| Best Integrated Amp (for me) I suggest a retail store that has a listening room. Marantz and Yamaha integrated amps seem to have a good following with happy customers. Listen to the Parasound new classic too if you have a chance. Compare on the LS 50's also if you can. Differ... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Class D will most likely take over if you have inefficient speakers that take tons of power like Electrostatics. They are great in large areas, sub woofers because they are powerful. I have heard some class D amps and they do sound good. For so... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? A very good friend of mine has the mid sized Magnapans. He tried the pair of M500 MkII Monoblocks and said that they had plenty of power and sound great. However he pulled them, installed two Shiit Vidars ran mono to replace the dragons. He told m... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Primaluna is great gear. I am sorry for your bad sales experience. I went to a Minneapolis dealer. Told him up front my gear which was a 40 year old Crown PL1 SL1. He never said anything to knock what I had. It held it's own against a Freya &... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? Replace the capacitors. Be careful though there may be other components affected by the leaky caps. An O Scope will help to see if the signal looks clean. | |
| is using a tube amp every day bad? Tubes will degrade over time but can take a beating. Dont worry about using them every day. Most likely it will take several years before you hear when a tube replacement is needed. | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer I agree with with Larryi. As a speaker builder I respect his angle on design, implementation as in the right woofer for cabinet volume and other factors as in component selection. Cross over selection. Internal cabling, internal damping materials... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree Well in this category of legacy recievers I think the best was HH Scott. Harmon Kardon Citation tube amps for the Wow! | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? The song Frankenstein by the Edgar winter group. | |
| The Absurdity of it All Sure everything wears with age. Genetics come into play how resilient ones ears compared to anothers the same age. Usually high frequency is lost unless you have been too close to a sub woofer too often. Just build speakers to suit your ears or b... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? I think the proper response is that it is not the percption of what the ears hear. But what is between the ears! Seriously, Some things cannot be measured as accurately as bio sense. Example, a dogs smell is more sensitive than any current instr... |
