| Could Class D really be that good? Did you not read what I said? I said the amps will all measure the same.....this is absolutely true. While it is true that when changing parts the distortion changes....because all noise and veils are distortion. However, you CANNOT measure a c... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? All op amps have an intrinsic sound.....and how you know this is to listen. There is no monolythic integrated circuit IC (that I know of) that sounds as good as a really great discrete circuit. This is from testing (and designing and making my own... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? Yes, the amount of distortion and its spectrum has some correlation to sound. However, it is not the major or only thing that makes and amp SOUND the way it does. You can give me 3 pairs of Atmasphere amps and I will change some of the parts in on... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I think you are giving him to much power. Most people see through their game and I doubt that he has put anyone out of business. Hopefully we learn not to repeat bad behavior or thinking. If we resist him seriously then he gets stronger. For whate... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews The fundamental problem with ASR and the like is that they believe everything that is meaningful regarding sound reproduction can be measured. In fact, the opposite is mostly true. Most things that can be heard to sound different (and judged to be... | |
| Magnepan “X” upgrade program Why would you want a magneplanar (stock or modded) when you can make an inexpensive Dipole two way speaker that is superior for very ittle money? Use the 12 inch woofs used in the Caladan and Spatial X4 and use GRS planars above them...crossed ove... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? Fosi V3 with a ton of mods is the best amp using a DAC that I have ever heard......and that includes my own wild dual mono Class A amps. Please see the bottom of this page for details and a pic. http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/DIY_Bi-amped_super_sp... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Why would anyone want to buy expensive magnepans to do this multi-amp thang? You can buy the GRS Planars from Parts Expres or the Radian ones and mount them on a baffle and have super sound for super little. A two way can be done with either of ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... It is never just one thing that is important....Everything makes a difference. For instance, you can see on the Audiocircle site the latest thang from Hollis labs....He has a 1.7 maggy that he is tri-amping. However he put junk binding posts on ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... I think Magnepan got the idea from Rich Hollis. He showed an older pair of Magnepans with the Danville pricessor, Orchard amps and GR Reserach servo woofers at Capitol Audio fest.....and I think Magnepan heard them......and they were impressed. ... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Yes, it would be nice to find a planar driver that could do 90hz. It does not exist....you have to make your own....like Magnepan and Diptyque. Even most planar and electrostat hybrids cross over between 172 and 500 Hz (Sanders sound, Janszen, Emi... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers The usual review that tells us very little. Typical big magazine review. He likes it slightly better than the $5000 original version (seems like a lot of money for very little gain). Then he does not compare it to the speaker he has there...his Fo... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? I am pretty sure the Caladan does not have that problem. Clayton went from using Eminence woofs to Beyma for a reason.....however, two 12 inch woofers can only do so much. The Beyma cones weigh 74 grams each. This is why I am making my speaker ... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? Get off the grid......Run your whole stereo off an inverter....many are doing it. Check out my website....tweakaudio...for info. You will have the same sound day and night. Best to have another filter after the inverter as all inverters are not... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. Stay tuned....will have info available tomorrow night or Monday on my website. You can buy a cheap inductance meter on Amazon for $33 to measure the inductors. |
