Great YouTube on Class A-A/B VS Class D
Totally agree about pricing......Doesn't make much sense that some modern class D amplifiers are inder $800 and others upwards of $4000 for same performance.....    
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
At this point, I'm totally shocked that folks that would subscribe to this forum, and know a thing or two more about HiFi than the average bear, and the reproduction of quality sound,  would still defend this nonsense........    
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
The first sentence is the key point, but the second is false.  If you can decern a difference between two highly regarded pieces of HiFi equipment, after being recorded by even an extreme high end microphone into some type of recorded medium, t...

When a YouTube developer used this tactic to demonstrate a piece of equipment, all faith in his ability to review Hifi gear goes out the window and he is unsubscribed.

Its not about bit rate… its about the recording microphone being used and the playback equipment on the other end. No way on Gods green earth can anyone accertain anything from these videos.  
Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire.
THANK YOU! One thing that still confuses me about running 12/4 or 10/4 for two circuits. Seems the issue is one neutral back to the electric cabinet for both circuits.....But are not the neutrals all combined back at the cabinet anyways?

JEA48..Help me with this ,please It’s actually worse than installing two 120V dedicated circuits and terminating on breakers from Both Line 1, leg, and Line 2, leg instead of installing both on the same Line, leg. So, are you saying both circ...

First Watt F5v2.....So far, the two best speakers have been KEF LS50 Metas or Pensil 10.2.....For lower listening levels, my Magnepan LRS work great...    
Soundstage drastically worsened when I replaced a solid state AV amp with tubes.
Wouldn't the Crosstalk specification of different amplifiers, preamplifiers and source affect soundstage?  
Lost it to Black Friday! Ordered it!
What appealed to you about the GAN mini 5?    im just very interested in the latest technology. I have tube amps, class AB, classA and ICE class D…. This is just the next phase  
Lost it to Black Friday! Ordered it!
BTW, I can't tell you how many NAD integrated amplifiers I sold back in the day just to be used as a preamp with the amazing phono section that offered....  
Lost it to Black Friday! Ordered it!
So you bought an integrated amp to use only as a preamp? Did I read that right? Yes...But I might find the amplifier wonderful and plans will change. This IA is getting rave reviews for the preamplifier and the room correction, eq and other fro... 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
This morning I put my order in for a Mini GaN 5 . They are on Black Friday sale, $735......I nearly bought a Hypex NCore 252MP then I stumbled upon the whole GaN FET thing......Very interesting! I recently built an ICE 200wch amplifier from Parts ...

Lead Time for LRS+...   I received this email on availability on 10-10-22... " Hello Roy,   Hey! I have a pair of LRS and I love them....Haha   I'll be happy to write up an order for the LRS+ for you. However, they won't show up until Spr... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
He has seen  the light…..but think near $4000 a pair is more thsn the market will allow…..the success of the LS50 Metas was the sub $2000 price point….and certainly the LRS+ is backordered 8 to 10 months because of a sub $1000 price.
