| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? Building amps with huge power output is one of Dan D'Agostino's top priorities. They are all advertised as doubling down into 4 and 2ohms.Here is what Stereophile measured in its review of the Momentum Monoblocks: Specified as having a maximum p... | |
| Tin Foil Hat Audio On the other hand, if a person is not responsive to placebos, they should not be derided as people who can't hear, or people who only care about measurements, or people who only judge by price, etc.We should all remember that our tastes, hearing, ... | |
| PS Audio BHK lacking.. @fertguy, How did the Teles sound in your preamp? | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers I think you can return Tektons, but you have to be sure that they have NO signs of ever having been out of the box, so that’s a risk. Keep the Focals, get the Tektons, listen to both and keep the ones you like the most. | |
| Best amp for Martin Logan Summit X That would probably work, gorchkov. If your room is large or you listen loud, you may strain it a little. MLs like power. See my explanation above. | |
| Any ECM fans here? Just last Friday ECM released 11 of Pat Metheny’s albums remastered in 24/96 hi-res for download or streaming. They are on Qobuz and Tidal. I have streamed several of them on Qobuz and they sound great. I think these are from the same remastering ... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? I think that what Ralph is saying is that doubling power into 4 ohms is only necessary if you drive the amp to its full output. If your amp puts out 150 watts into 8 ohms and 200 into 4 ohms, it will drive your speakers just fine if you only need... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? No politics! You know that won't end well.Unfortunately autospec, honesty has been going out of style for a while. I haven't had as many bad experiences as you, but enough to make me cautious. Don't let those people change you, though. You can... | |
| How do I buy tubes? The guy who wanted his money back probably didn’t like the tubes in his system and used the label as an excuse to return them. I suppose it should be obvious from the pictures, but you could add to the description Made by Siemens, labelled Valvo o... | |
| PS Audio BHK owners In the PS Audio Forums Paul McGowan has stated: Paul CEO PS Audio Sep ’16The BHK preamp has 10dB of gain.If that is the case, that’s a good thing. You want to be able to have the volume turned up some. 40 (out of 100) is a very reasonable level to... | |
| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine Even if you went to see Diana or Sophie live there would most likely be some processing done to their vocals to adjust for the acoustics of the venue. If there's electricity and speakers involved in the sound, it'll be different than what you'd h... | |
| I sold a CAL Aria Tube CD player and buyer claims a burning smell I just can’t believe how some people would flagrantly lie and rig the system. Believe it. There are lots of these people out there and they will do all kinds of things to cheat you out of money and/or goods. The advice above about getting your pl... | |
| Speaker wire isolators - Do they improve SQ? Let us know what you learn. | |
| o.k anybody know anything about shm-cd they claim there indistinguishable from the master? so I can't comment on why it's impossible that they would sound better. @tweaknkeep, read my post above. Different source, different mastering. | |
| o.k anybody know anything about shm-cd they claim there indistinguishable from the master? Also, every different release does not have a different mastering. So many different releases, even from different countries, can have the same mastering. |
