| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? When it comes to a straight wire with gain there is an end. It is the point where you can no longer tell the difference when there is an improvement. It is hard to swallow for audiophiles but we are effectively there.Rrrriiiiiiight. Anyway...than... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? Yeah, agreed (BTW Ric, still have your wonderful original Millennium DAC). Back before I had enough experience with various gear to know how to listen, what to listen for, and my own tastes/biases I used to overweight the importance of measurement... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? Well, it’s apparent doogie’s left the reservation — no idea what he’s talking about and certainly not pertinent to the intended discussion soooooo...back to our regularly-scheduled program, please. | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? Let attitude more reading would be your friend considering the ASR link had listening impressions.Ha! Going to ASR for listening impressions is like going to The Absolute Sound for rigorous reviews and objective measurements. No bueno. | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? Only hoopla to those that don’t understand itI understand it fine thanks, which is precisely why I didn’t want this to devolve into yet another endless argument about how good or bad this or that measurement is and how important measurements are o... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? I’m purely interested in sonic impressions here so take your measurement comments elsewhere. I said this upfront to avoid the measurement hoopla. If all you’ve got is measurements and haven’t heard the amp your comments are useless in the context... | |
| Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth I’m looking for imaging and soundstage, coherency, presence, smooth solid bass, dynamic and fun.Given this I’d recommend saving a ton of hard-earned $$$ and try a pair of LSA-20 Signatures available here from the manufacturer for only $2299/pr. Re... | |
| Amp recommendations for Hifiman HE1000 V2 I have the Hifiman HE400S so am somewhat familiar with the house sound, and if I’m you I’d be looking hard at the Singxer SA-1 amp. At only $599 it’s a fully balanced, Class-A design with plenty of power and exhibits the sound qualities you’re loo... | |
| Suggestions/experience with a speaker/headphone switching/output box... I’d think if you hook a headphone amp (with a volume control) to the fixed preouts on the receiver that’d work. When listening to headphones just turn the volume all the way down on the receiver, and when you want to listen to speakers only just ... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? If should be obvious that GaN does not guarantee better performance.It is obvious — that’s the reason for the original question. Got anything less obvious and maybe even interesting to add? | |
| Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth Thoughts?Well, you’re considering a monitor with concentric dynamic drivers, a floorstander with a horn midrange, a quasi-ribbon dipole panel speaker, and a more conventional floorstander you already own but you’re gonna swap out drivers and someh... | |
| Amp recommendations for Hifiman HE1000 V2 What’s your budget? | |
| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? For your tastes it sounds like Harbeth would be a very good choice. Others from your list that fit well with your requirements would be DeVore, ProAc, Dynaudio, with Spendor and Sonus Faber as other potential possibilities. If I’m you I’d tend t... | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient Headphone amps in integrateds are usually a bit of an afterthought, and McIntosh doesn’t specify the headphone power output of your amp in the specs, which would lead me to believe it’s nothing special — could be wrong though. The HE1000s do requ... |
