| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? @mofojo No, I don't think blatant copying is Okay, but that isn't what is going on. Look at the Dartzeel above. Yes, it looks alot like a Dart, but with or without volume control. no balanced, different boards (Chinese design). Componen... | |

| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? I've looked at many of these copies, Dartzeel, Mark Levinson, Accuphase..... Really a bunch more. Overall, I don't have a problem with it.... Each and every one that I looked at was advertised as a copy, no one was trying to get over or lie ab... | |
| Audio research ref 6SE vs world The Reference 6se is excellent. My go to SS pre when I really want a hard core comparison with tubes is the SST Ambrosia Preamp. Loaded with features, it doesn't sound like tubes, yet, it does have a flare, a tube like quality, smooth, detail... | |

| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range Not sure how much the Gryphon is, I've heard it and the system was excellent, however, I wasn't familiar with all the other components in the system. The New Coda CSIB is Excellent also. Probably would be my choice, it does everything so righ... | |
| Integrated Amps: Arcam & Audio Refinement I've owned both... I found the Arcam to be a bit less vailed or clear in some way, hard to describe. Yet, overall, I really preferred to listen to the Audio Refinement. It just played music. I'd buy another. Tim | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? @pinwaI don’t see anything that tells where your sub placement is. To start, make sure that your subs are at least 3ft from any wall and make sure that your subs are not near each other. Starting here will help reduce any room boundry reinforcemen... | |
| What 's the different between MDF and HDF ? While MDF may have a 10 to 15 year life span in floors where it would be under constant pressure. That is not the case in speakers. I have speakers that I built and laminated 40 years ago that still look and sound great. What was posted is not ... | |
| Replace Dyneaudio Tweeters or Sell As Is? Newbie Seeks Advice? DO NOT buy one of the replacements mentioned. All 3 have radically different impedance curves. They would not act anything like each other with your dyn crossovers. One of them had a 1mm xmax. No suitable. Next the ferro fluid issue. I have ... | |
| Replace Dyneaudio Tweeters or Sell As Is? Newbie Seeks Advice? Here you. Ask for a pair of replacement diaphrams. Fairly simple replacement will save you a ton. Submit a request – Dynaudio (zendesk.com) | |
| Coda 07X vs Backert Rhumba extreme vs VAC renaissance V I have sat in front of an 07X a few times. Personally, I would not call it tube like. Many Tube people think of SS as dry or overly etched, The Coda is not that either. I found in ever so slightly toward the warm side. Clean, smooth and detai... | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? @madavid0You don’t seem to be fair in your assessment. You do a good job of tearing down class d, but you haven’t said how many that you’ve had in your home. For me, I’ve owned a few Class A amps, a Ton of Class A/B and recently went on a DIY Bing... | |
| Class D Technology Hello all. I'm not able to be on here as much as I used to, but I will answer when I can. @atmasphere Hi Ralph, You are correct, I don't necessarily use engineering terms, but that may be because I am not an engineer. I have posted in the pas... | |
| Class D Technology I'm not sure that I can help the discussion much, but here you go.... Class A vs Class D. In theory Never switch should be better than switching. Obviously No Switching distortion. With that said, I have owned 3 Pure Class A amplifiers which I l... |
