| Cassette decks. How good can it get? …so I have been acquiring quite a stack of cassettes…I enjoy the sound. ’Nough said. | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? We might be able to help you but first you have to tell us what problem you are trying to fix. What are you missing? What’s bordering you? Do you have enough bass? Help us help you. I hope I don’t come out as being brash. The subject is very de... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? I think everyone here is an audiophile. Whether your communication reveals your knowledge or your hubris has nothing to do with it. This is your personality. @mahgister Have you ever tried to factor in the cost of the time you spent perfecting... | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @bigkidz Thanks for the reply. I have one last question: have any of your creations been reviewed by a third party outsider with no horse in the race, like a magazine? I am asking this because if you only listen to and compare your amps in your... | |
| Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective Yep, I agree with @cd318. There hasn’t been much done to speaker design recently; same as pre-amp, in my opinion. Some improvement here and there but nothing dramatic. | |
| Tweaks, money pit or real value? True that. Some calls it expectation bias. It’s a real thing. That’s why I always subtract the tweak after a while to confirm that it was really doing something. At the end, one realizes that few tweaks actually work. My experience is that those w... | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @jonwatches1 I have been using the AGD Audion mono for a few months and am still happy with it. Give them a try within your budget and you will be able assess for yourself. Most companies have a generous return policy. Good luck. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @jonwatches1 Check this one out, the reviews are very encouraging though I haven’t listened personally: https://orchardaudio.com/shop/ols/products/bsc-mplfr | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @bigkidz OK, so your amps at least to your ears are better. Fair enough. My question to you then is: what other amp(s) do you feel compare(s) favorably to your amps? | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl Fuzztone is correct. Bill Evans’ Complete Village Vanguard Recordings 1961 sounds better on CD than vinyl, so does Duke Jordan’s JORDU. It would be incorrect to conclude based on this small sample size that CD sounds better than vinyl. It just is ... | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @bigkidz My previous post answers your question. Why do you want Ralph to advertise for other people? Would you go to GM and ask them who else makes good trucks? | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) FYI…Benchmark is not a class D amp. It’s a whole different animal. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @chayro You just say aloud something that a lot of us have known for a long time but couldn’t articulate as well as you did. It takes me months to assess a new piece of hardware and I usually won’t know until I remove it and see if I missed it. ... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive Thanks @willrich47, you just gave us a peek at the distant future. As long as my generation is still around, they will cling to their vinyls, turntables, class A amps, two channel systems and $500k floor standing speakers. I am grateful they let f... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive @willrich47 How many channels were at play? Was it multi channel or stereo? Thanks for the report. |
