| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? Kijank-if SMPS is more expensive, then why is it standard and LPS an extra cost option? | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? They say that SMPs introduce noise into the circuit that could impact the sound quality. Sutherland says it's better to have an LPS, but he wasn't acting like it was a really big deal, claims he doesn't like to make minor changes to his personal s... | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? Thanks for all the input.I spoke with Ron Sutherland and he is the nicest guy. Can't believe he acts as his own distributor and handles inquiries directly.He said others in the past who did the Insight upgrade were pleased, but he didn't say they ... | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? That's what I am afraid of.... a teeny bit. I don't consider myself a tweaker and generally don't do things like aftermarket tonearm counterweights, cable stands so they don't touch the floor or that type of stuff. I do care very much about quali... | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? I think this is a mod, not an external box, so return would be messy if not impossible. The question is whether it would be noticeably better. Forgot to mention that I have a Furman Elite 15 conditioner which got rid of a very slight buzz I had wi... | |
| What to buy? The R700 might go 1 or 2 Hz deeper-that’s. it. Not worth a 33% increase. Everything else exactly the same. | |
| What to buy? KEF R500 on closeout or used are very detailed speakers that sound like you are in the audience with very excelent bass - no subwoofer needed, are built incredibly well (the built in mini-stands are included and are perfect for any surface). Unlik... | |
| Help with upgrade bug... How about spending $5k on a turntable set up? Or a little less and save a few bucks for records. Better bang for the buck and more detailed. Digital can’t deliver all the sound of analogue. Scientific fact. | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? Hopefully you've spent a larger portion of your overall investment in tonearm/cartridge and table and your phono section you mentioned is a good one.I think you've got the power section down as long as it can push your speakers effortlessly. | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? I was not insinuating anyone's enjoyment of music is secondary. Just saying that it's not necessary to be a hardware hobbyist/tweaker to have a great sounding system to enjoy music.Music enjoyment (while appreciating great sound - openness, detail... | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? This is the first post I have ever made on Audiogon, and I am not a tweaker whatsoever (I just changed speakers after 25 years when a great deal for KEFs became available). I look long term and buy used or new depending on the item. I have found t... |
