| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I think if a friend wanted to be introduced to jazz, I would recommend to get a taste of stuff that leans jazz, but not hard core and see if it blossoms... some of the later Steely Dan, Gregory Porter, Erin Bode, Monkey House. Then take a listen t... | |
| Music first or sound first? When the sound is right, the music is first. When the sound is off it gets in the way and takes our attention and we find it first. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? I have bought 5 different TPA3255 amp boards and have built all 5. I upgraded filtering on all of them.... I have found a reasonably small 10mfd cbb cap that I use on the inputs. I always upgrade the filter caps normally 63v caps, sometimes highe... | |
| Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait? I’ve had items get caught up in customs. Most items arrive between 10 days and 3 weeks, that one arrived in 7 weeks. Wasn’t the sellers fault. | |

Erik, I have built using buttererworth, bessel, linkwitz riley and chebyshev. I believe that you were looking for b... | |

| Integrated amp w/decent headphone out under $5k I like everything about my SST Ambrosia. Great phono and headphone amp | |
| Adcom pre amp versus Van Alstine Thus is probably not fair because I have not heard that model of VA. I am commenting because of some of the comments about Adcom. I have heard all of their pre's and consider most poor. However the GFP750 is a fine preamp, No other Adcom is in the... | |
| Technics SL-1310 Mk2 I have one that is beautiful, I've been putting off replacing power supply and speed regulation caps as well as the cueing mechanism. I'll get to it soon | |

| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? I have built no less than a dozen class D Amps. They vary dramatically in presentation To be fair, I always increase capacitance, replace any caps on the input and bypass the rest of the caps when possible. I also add a bank of caps between the s... | |
| No sneering Please I have built 4 over time. To be fair. I typically do a fair amount of work on them. My latest is quite good. |
