| My rankings of some classical violin music in high resolution @ tdimler Also regarding Carmingnola......not available in high-res but his Four Seasons recording is brilliantly engineered....the CD sounds great.With the Venice Baroque or Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca ?Thanks | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? @ vt4c+1 Focusing on bias class is a waste of time. Find a good pairing with your speaker is more important. Difficult speakers will reduce the choice of amplifiers. (Except for this last sentence ... ¨ Shun those 85dB speakers.¨ in which I also ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Thanks Roger for offering to answer questions. I´m using a balanced configured Pass SS XP20 pre with output impedence stated at 1K/leg, balanced and 200 ohm, single ended (according to manuel) driving tube monoblocks with rated input resista... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @ auxinput¨Stock – JC1 has a very refined sound, midrange is very smooth and refined. Emphasis is tilted slightly towards the upper midrange which causes the audio to sound just a little bit thin in the midbass area. Sound is soft. Overall, sound ... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @auxinputInteresting description of the JC1s interaction with fuses.Are the amps fully broken in or relatively new ?This is important as they are totally different beasts after 1500 hrs. break in.Thanks | |

| Hegel H20 vs. PS Audio BHK Signature 250 Stereo @ dmuson My initial impulse was to switch amps considering something newer could sound better and save me some space at the same time. The amp that first caught my eye was the Hegel H30 but I thought I could get away with lesser power so ... | |
| Hegel H20 vs. PS Audio BHK Signature 250 Stereo after listening to different hi end setups using among others, Raidho, Rockport, Martin Logan, Reimyo, Gryphon, Wadia, things were just too hyper-realistic for my taste, (although the latest Reimyo solid state amp in spite of being mated with spea... | |
| Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound” IMO | |
| Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound” I´ve not heard the mcintosh but have had the xp20 for some years now and also the same c4s you own. My experience is that most of the time break in is crucial, more so for this preamp. Out of the box the sound was closed in ,dull and lifeless. So ... | |
| Compatibility between Avid Pulsare and Air Tight PC1s thanks folkfreak for the heads up; will be looking at other alternatives, maybe even tubes like audiovalves sunilda. | |
