| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? I’m really curious to see how the Argo speakers sound, because right now there is just no synergy or house sound with ELAC. Each line has almost noting in common looks/sound wise. I agree. The UB5 was created to undercut the LS50, which it has. Th... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? Here is a review. They are already showing up in the barely used market. https://www.cnet.com/news/elac-aims-higher-with-its-new-adante-as-61-speaker/ | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? Also, I have never heard a downside in using a miniDSP or similar in a sub only situation. Since mini dsp goes between pre and power amp, it requires A to D to A conversion of the entire signal...which for someone who has invested $$$ in a nice DA... | |
| Chinese Class A SS This amp is a popular one that the DIY guys like to mod. Its an old design that Nelson Pass speaks well of. https://m.ebay.com/itm/Douk-Audio-HD1969-Gold-Seal-HiFi-Class-A-Power-Amplifier-Stereo-Amp-15W-2-Bla... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? LOL Neal. They are pretty decent at $300, especially the fit and finish for that price point. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Perhaps the ideas of Bruno Putzey hold some weight, as without his inventions and Hypex Ncore product, Class D amps might not yet have been in hifi amps. Here are his thoughts on Class D vs A and AB in an interview with Sound & Vision last yea... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Paul McGowan of PS Audio recently released a really good video on the future of Class D audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98QQ43qgzbg | |
| Class D Technology Although one should always be skeptical of audio reviews due to quid pro quo, this statement is quite the endorsement. I know that NuPrime has specifically tried to mimic the sound of linear amps (if you read their marketing copy) so their enginee... | |
| ATC SCM40As sound quality at low voume I would read this review before purchasing the Benchmark amp. http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/benchmark-ahb2-impressions-vs-vidar.5131/ | |

| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 I imagine that Nelson underclocks the First Watt amps to prevent them from competing with Pass Labs. | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 Dan D'Agostino, in his Stereophile interview, said, point blank, that some of his Krell offerings measured better than his current stuff. He specifically chose sound quality over measurements in his highly acclaimed breed of new Momentum component... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 Have recently tried a Nord class D amp and did not find it in the same league as class A amplifiers.+1 on that, listened to many "good" ones now that owners say are good, but they still don't cut the mustard.Cheers George Bruno Putzey said in an i... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 The amp AB tests that I have read about...there is only a handful of them. They put people in unfamiliar rooms with unfamiliar gear and music...and of course it’s all too overwhelming to distinguish much. At audio shows you will sometimes hear peo... | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? Since they don’t disturb room modes would it be safe to say that they are less picky about placement? Or do they need to be loaded in corners? |
