Minidsp Flex's are way better than you think.  You can use two 4 channel out ones ($500 each) in parallel and get 8 analog channels out with both digital and analog inputs.....I  read that these newer units are using Burr Brown PCM1795 DAC chips.....

For $4000 or less you can have a whole DAC/volume control/amp/speaker/wires system that will be in a whole nuther level way above a stock inexpensive magneplanar driven by very good DAC and Preamp and amp. Minidsp Flex $500, Fossi amp for bass $1... 
As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c.
There is no death......there is nothing to fear. Here is a SUPER SIMPLE serious speaker. Buy a pair of the Lii Audio Platinum 10 inch full range drivers ($2200) and mount them on a four foot by 2 foot piece of multiply damped baffle and have four...

There are many paths up the mountain of good sound. If I had an 8B I would upgrade all the jacks and xover parts and wires with the best stuff (including 12 gauge wax foil coils that are cryoed and used in the best sounding direction.....going int...

Yes, its cheaper if you buy it directly from Giandel (for now).  If you cannot figure out this inverter thing with research then just call me......I can walk you through it.  I will put more info on my site in a few days that will give more detail...

I use an all in one Goal Zero 400 watt inverter (do not recommend).  I modified it so its fan will not come on.  I cannot afford even the $300 Giandel right now (soon, I hope....please send money....he he).  I have turned on several people to the ...

I recommend that particular 2000 watt Giandel inverter because it is FCC approved so may have lower noise.

Ralph, So, you are an expert on damping? You spent hundreds of hours with various damping materials and used them everywhere and you know which damping materials are linear and which are not and where to use it and where not to use it? I doubt it...

Using a Gan 1 or VTV 300 in your system is a lot simpler and cheaper than using other GaN or mosfet class d systems.  When yyz is comparing his less than $2K (WITH MODS) GaN 1 with his $12K amp he is also using a $3K preamp and a $2K DAC with anal...

All power supplies have a sound. "Properly designed" is not a static thing. The more you know (by listening tests) the more you know that changing one cap or diode or whatever on a power supply makes a serious difference in sound.....as I stated b...

Technics SE R1 plus its SU-R1 digital front end.....someone A/Bed it with the Su R1000 and said it was noticeably better.  It has giant linear power supply.  The first GaN amp available and maybe still the best?  This baby uses GaNs and switches a...

The first person in the world to hear a modded Nilai amp gave me a little feedback today. " I know I have a lot of break in to go on this one but so far am liking what I'm hearing (replacing a very nice tube amp; too hot in PHX for that right now...

I am very sensitive to hardness.....me no likey.  I bet my mods to the Peachtree amp would not only address that issue but make it sound better in many ways.  Since I modded its cousin, the LSA Voyager couple of years ago, I have come up with a co...

If someone posts here on or some other thread I read and I feel that information is not "experienced truth" then I will make sure I post my experienced truth so people can decide for themselves (with listening tests).what is actually true.  The mo...
