| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? The stock market may cause a few potential buyers to sit on the sidelines. Maybe a larger issue is shipping cost. People have a value in mind for a piece of gear and if shipping has doubled or tripled… especially hundreds of dollars, it could ... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions The interesting thing from the March Audio review/test is that although the distortion is very low, the remaining distortion is mostly 2nd and 3rd. The question becomes "although it has great bass and an extended top end, is it musical"...or is ... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions I'm not an engineer but I suspect that the Purifi is similar to the Benchmark....drive the distortion as low as possible...period, the end...and obviously a ton of people really prefer that sound. Since very few designers talk at length about wha... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Speaking of 2nd and 3rd order harmonics and their influence on what we hear...this is an interesting post/analysis..... https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/physics-and-perception-of-low-order-nonlinear-distortions.34863/ | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions @niodari I suspect that the difference between the Set and the Megaschino is both the amount of distortion and the profile of the distortion with the SET amp having more 2nd and 3rd harmonic giving it a tonal difference. In my case, with the 2C... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Good for Ralph...life can't just be about music and Gear 🤣. I can't seem to find it now but I think Ralph said that his goal with the Class D Monos was to get the distortion as low as possible and be sure that any residual distortion was dominate... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions I'd like to ask Ralph two questions about class d in general but I will use his class d to ask the questions: 1. How do I equate a class d amplifiers power output with its power draw. So for example, your class d amp is capable of producing 100... | |
| What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean? Auto detailer, both Meguiars and Mothers, seem to be common recommendations for keeping speakers looking their best...but realistically, its not like the stuff needs to be used every week...maybe 2x per year. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? It is pretty strange that in this day of measurements, that LSA would allow a product that measures this poorly to hit the market without a few tweaks that would drastically improve its sinaid and other measurements and maybe even the sound. But,... | |
| Maraschino Cherry by Digital Audio @rhale64 Fortunately, solid state gear is pretty reliable these days. Nevertheless, if you can share the details and contact info of who is doing the repairs, I suspect that it would be appreciated by Cherry owners...and should probably also be... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @markmuse I haven’t read this anywhere about the M225s, so I’m wondering, some amps seem to need an hour of warm up time to sound their best….is that what you found with the M225s? | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? 🤣 | |
| Maraschino Cherry by Digital Audio At this point, no one has stepped in to purchase the business. Keep your eye on US Audiomart and Audiocircle as they pop up there from time to time as do the 2-5 Cherries. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @markmuse During your listening test, in addition to your analytical listening did you also do what I like to call musical listening… no analysis, just close your eyes and see which amp is the most musically and emotionally compelling… and with ... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? The AVA's will also be an interesting comparison as they have had a lot of good press lately as well. |
