| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D Hey..., they may please some, but not others. eg, define 'discerning ear'. What does that mean as a word paring - in a high end audio context? The complexity of the simple statement, when unraveled, is, well, maybe a hair more explicit and detaile... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D i have heard excellent class D amplification. stunning with the right music and recordings. for me it has one fatal flaw, an inability to handle compressed music and music with intentional distortion, e.g. arcade fire, sonic youth, flaming lips, ... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D The map is not the territory. The measurements are not the sound quality. I think, from expensive experience, that the NAD M33 will not convince me that Class D amplification is better than or equal to the better class A/b amplifiers. If forced at... | |
| Active external crossover the Pass brand electronic crossover is a very good one. Another is a customized Bryston 10B. We had one made by Bryston, to cover just the mids. 1.25khz to about 4khz, in 11 steps, with the standard 6-12-18 db slope potentials for each, and level... | |
| Best Interconnect with Step Up Transformer Audio Sensibility. Talk to Steve. To give you an idea, a friend of the family was: Dr Ohno himself. As in OCC, or PCOCC. Ohno Continuous Cast(ing)Tough to get any closer than that to the source... | |
| An artist I have enjoyed for many years, Julia Fordham https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcelain_(Julia_Fordham_album) Very high recording quality/production values, overall. One of those albums used for demo at shows, every now and then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qVThOs7pWs | |
| Why is black so popular for components? black anodization is the only functional color or tone when it comes to anodizing. Colors are difficult to affect to the same tonality when repeated, and they are subject to fading as they are all basically dyes. thus no set of ’purple’ components... | |
| Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers? It’s always a negative to clean/refine signals and clean/refine dynamics via correcting an offset ...with another offset. Like stacking different springs. The end point is one where they interfere with one another, the distortions are increased an... | |
| How to judge a preamp's sound Let’s just call it a complex affair that can reach self interpreted conclusions via many different paths. And if one had a textbook to explain it all, then it would say much the same, with some routing possibilities given in the text, for referenc... | |
| Tango Step Up Transformers vs Bob's Sky Blue Cinemag Well, All I know is that my biz partner, Taras,...while at a show dinner, sat near Bob and some industry leaders and the conversation turned to a discussion on transformers. Bob acquitted himself well (gave better than he took), and is no fool whe... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Thankfully we are down to just a few psychotic malcontents. Then we can move along to the next thing they don’t understand and all will have to deal with the flufferstorm of their incapacitates, again. To the chagrin of all involved. Like clockwor... | |
| How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers? The lower the mass of the speaker the greater the need for stiff and stable mounting. Thus the mobility vs stability thing, has to be qualified. Speaker mass vs stability is at the core of the ’quality audio’ equation. Proac super tablettes on 24-... | |
| Why don't speaker companies reveal the flaws in their designs? Negative nasty post/thread reported. | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot high negative feedback amplifiers tend to exacerbate cable differences. not because high negative feedback is better, but because the negative feedback network becomes over excited and corrects transient function after the horse has left the barn.... | |
| So, what other amps sound like the First Watt SIT-3? About $8k US a piece for the monoblocks. IIRC. If you can find some. Digital Do MaiN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There IS another, and it’s a normal push pull design, made from V-fets, but it’s a secret. Yet a hundred thousand, or more --- were made and sold. A... |
