| Class D amp driving Thiel Noise and distortion are the points of it. | |
| Class D amp driving Thiel Vic, but that tube amp's squarewave sure does look much better than that D amp.I am totally cognizant of what happens as soon as acoustic sounds is trasduced to an electronic signal, the phase shifting, the compression...we have to accept that as ... | |
| Class D amp driving Thiel As long as Class D amps cannot make an accurate looking 10 kHz squarewave, one will not find a place in my listening environment. There are some things that an amp has to be able to do on a test bench accurately or it will never get timbre and har... | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Priz, On Tommy? No way it's Kenny Jones, that's Keith Moon back in 1969. Jones never sounded that good and besides, the band didn't work with him until after Keith died. | |
