Class D Technology Lots of great responses. When switching frequencies are 5x higher than today's, what will be improved? Will that prevent the saw tooth waveform challenge? Or prevent the need for a low pass output filter? What makes today's class D amps sound cold... | |
I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! You can get excellent class AB amps used for 1k. Not everyone needs overbuilt class A monoblocks...although they are nice. Stick with brands like Rega, Parasound, and Marantz as they are safe bets. | |
Inexpensive speaker cables the funny thing is you have this fancy fat wire going from the amp to the binding post and this really skinny wire going from the binding post to the speaker or crossover. | |
Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? I believe it's against PayPal terms of service for a seller to ask for pay pal fees. | |
High Value Desktop Speaker stands? This guy made me a semi custom pair. Great value. He is on eBay seller:birks_place | |
Monitor Audio I have the Rega Brio R and it might be the best sounding integrated under $1000. I think that it deserves better than the bronze, but the Bronze is a fine speaker. | |
NEED HELP WITH DAC UPGRADE Differences between quality DACs are normally swallowed up by the room. The exceptions are headphone listening and to a lesser extent, listening in a well treated room. When doing critical listening through a nice set of headphones, small differen... | |
Help, my system sounds lifeless! For lively speakers in a small room consider kef LS50 with a smaller subwoofer. The rising response in the treble that KEF and B&W tend to have may be just the sizzle you are looking for. | |
Should I really, really buy a Berkeley Reference DAC...Testify! Good DACs were hard to find in the 80's and even the 90s....but in 2016 do I dare say that digital conversion is still a challenge? | |
Let's see or discuss your desktop speakers! Silverline Minuet Supreme powered by a Zamp v.3 and an Audioengine D1 for DAC and volume control. | |
Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Blue jeans cable. High quality and transparent. They don't believe that speaker wire should be used as a tone control. | |
Shopping for an integrated, advice s'il vous plait. I would recommend a marantz integrated like this one. I would also advise against Class D options without hearing them first. They have a sound that is not for everybody. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/marpm6005/marantz-pm6005-i... | |
A thin and elegant system? My solution- Silverline prelude plusRega Brio R integrated (half width)Schiit Modi 2 uber DAC Chromecast AudioTry beating that for 3k | |
Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines I'm going to advise against Rogue Audio and class D unless you hear it first. The hypex sound is very sterile and cold by default...Rogue Audio tries to fix this issue with a tube preamp, but I'm not sure that the end result is what you are lookin... | |
Recos for entry level Bookshelf speaker $400-750 for 21yo nieces first system? I own the Silverline Minuet Supremes and they are brilliant little hifi speakers...but they are not what I would recommend for a 21 year old girl. These would be perfect. http://www.vanatoo.com/ |
