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... 
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...

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 ...

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 ...

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.  
As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c.
The stock ETs have poor sounding speaker posts, wire, resistors, caps and coils.....you change all those few things to seriously transparent parts and you will never stop listening.  Coils need to be connected so the signal goes into the inside of... 
Lii Audio open baffles vs Forte 1 vs Heresy IV
Were these volume matched? Where is the measured in room response at the listening position of each speaker? A measurement mic costs very little and you can download a free program to do the measurements. EVERY single audiophile needs to measure t... 
Battle of the Open Baffles
There is no damage to be done to a driver by hardwiring it (unless you try hard or are very non thinking). However, you need to have some skill and intelligence. I will have very detailed info on my website about this soon......including pictures.... 
Battle of the Open Baffles
Being judgemental is easy.  Giving praise is harder and more powerful and transformative for everyone....Every single thought you have or word you speak effects the whole world. Only Love creates LOVE.......please....never stop loving.  I love yo...
