| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year @jjss49 i'm relatively new to this hobby, <2 yrs. where does one find the information you describe about the policies of the different publications? | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year What I like about the stereophile recommendations is that they've compared basically all the gear in the whole world to find the best. *sarcasm* | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk You might like it. Actually, you probably will. I don't even know that amp at all, but most amps are good nowadays. | |
| Stirring Up Trouble I love this thread. Thanks OP. The Dylan detour and drug references made my hour. | |
| What is the average life expectancy of a DAC? @afisher - you made me laughIn the USA, DAC life expectancy has dropped from 6.2 years to 5.5 years because of Covid. Japan hasn't seen any decrease. Brazil and Mexico, though are down almost 25%. The vaccine should normalize the trends again. | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” @atmasphere fascinating and clarifying. Thank you. | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? Aric of Aric Audio, Louis of Omega speakers, Lucas Domansky of Lucas Audio Lab, Fritz of Fritz speakers all epitomize customer service with integrity. | |
| amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way. Watched this last night. The brain is such an incredible system and tuned so well for music... | |

| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” @atmasphereDifferent resistors, capacitors, wires endow amplifiers with unique and often predictable coloration/qualities. Do these components vary in their distortion/phase attributes in predictable/measurable ways? Or are other characteristics... | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” @atmasphere writes You also **at the same time** must have the same distortion percentage at 100Hz, 1000Hz and 10,000Hz. Many solid state amps have excellent distortion figures at 100Hz, which is why they are usually measured at that frequency. Bu... | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” @atmasphere - thank you for such a rich explanation of harmonics, feedback, distortion. In other words, a house sound is a house distortion profile. That being said, are there other factors aside from harmonic and intermodular distortion that migh... | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” @condosound, @chorusNever heard Lejonklou or LTA amplifiers? What is their sound signature? | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” How would the house sound of Ayre best be described? |
