Class D Technology
I’m pretty sure that even if switching frequency becomes 1000 times higher than current standard and 1/10000000000 THD, Class-D will not convince many of audiophiles. For a lot of audiophile, ultimate transparency / cleaness / hifi is no more thei...

SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1?
Hi Charles, thank you for another great advice. I really wanted to try 300B SET, so I know I should just go for it, at least for my first SET amp. The reason why I have not contacted any manufactures on the list is I feel my candidates should be n...

Thank you so much for the precious comments again. Regarding the rooms size, my rooms size is 15ft x 30ft, ceiling is 8-10 ft (room is a bit irregular), and listening position is about 10-12 ft (3m) from the speakers. I mostly listen to jazz, clas...

Sebollo 001, Who makes the latest generation of Class-D? The best class-d I heard, Hypex has been on the market for a long time. I wonder how good the latest generation class-D is compared to Hypex.

I think I can tell if the amp I’m hearing is Class-D or Class A. In my experience, Class-D always makes me think, "hmm, nothing wrong. great sound!", and a good Class A makes me think "how you can do this? what’s going on here!". Cheap class AB’s ...

I really appreciate the suggestions that I find them very helpful. I put the Border Patrol at the top of the list. I just read 6 moons review about their SE 300B. Should be an excellent amp.

I agree with devilry, Charney’s full range speaker was very impressive, indeed. YG Acoustic and Hypex guy’s new active speaker (I forgot the brand name) were good. I felt Those 2 speakers are promising. I really liked most of horn or single ended ... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
I think this is where the comparison with violins falls apart. In theory there is no ideal violin - they are all different, but in theory there is an ideal speaker. My contention is that with modern methods we can get closer to that ideal.Which sp... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
I started thinking that the ideal electronic to acoustic conversion (vice-versa) is not determined by measurable specification. If so, measurement microphone is the only microphone needed in the professional recording process, but I have never hea...
