| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? This thread is 14 years old and a lot has changed in Class D since then. My AGD Duets Class D have excellent imaging and soundstage, and they compare well to my Boulder 866 and Pass INT-25 (with Playback Designs MPS-8/MPS-X DAC/streamer and YG H... | |
| YG's Sonja 3.3 I'm running AGD Duet monoblock amps (300 wpc at 4 ohms), Playback Designs DAC and streamer, and YG Hailey 2.2. I connected the amps, DAC and streamer to two solar generators, and with the sound level at about 75 db average, I was only drawing 12 ... | |
| Going Battery Powered Not sure if this is the most recent battery thread, but thought I would share my experience. I'm getting 50 mph wind gusts tonight so decided to switch to batteries in case of power fluctuations or loss. I have two solar generators, an Ecoflow D... | |
| YG's Sonja 3.3 I was there but had to leave early - I have geriatric dog at home who freaks out when I'm away, and I was feeling very guilty. I enjoyed the tour and I listened to a couple of tracks before leaving. It was a powerful and realistic sound in the v... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade @abd1 I've had the AGD Duet's for about a month now - these are AGD's new monoblocks, 300 wpc at 4 ohms . I'm using them with YG Hailey 2.2 speakers and Playback Designs MPS-8 DAC and MPX-X streamer (using the MPS-8 variable control with no pre... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @deep_333 Those quotes have little value with out a date. In my opinion any criticism is welcome, but it would be more helpful if it were based on listening to actual, specific components, not a google search. And did you have to make fun of ... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? I’ve been wanting to try Class D amps for a very long time - for energy efficiency and heat management (I don’t have AC). I put it off for years because I was concerned about some of the criticisms. I was convinced after Ralph said his Class D was... | |
| Your impression Talking Heads 9/11/23 I Max restoration of the 1984 'Stop Making Sense'? Sorry this is a bit off topic - but are there any good remastered CD versions of Talking Heads early albums? I have the 2005 CDC/DVD reissues and was really disappointed. In the liner notes they mention the poor sound quality of the original rec... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade I just placed an order for the new AGD Duet monos and Andante pre-amp. I have been wanting to explore Class D for many years but hesitated because of the criticisms of the sound quality and also the feeling that Class D was still rapidly evolving... | |
| Pass Labs 1st Watt Rundown Steve Guttenberg owns four of the First Watt amps, and also the XA-25, and he reviews and compares them on his youtube channel. Hes also has some really great interviews with Nelson Pass. I see jaduio1 already posted a link. :) | |
| Jay's Audio CDT2 MK3 hum Sorry my comment is not helpful to Tomasz, but I'm interested that you mentioned PV and old power lines as the cause of the high voltage. I recently installed solar PV, and occasionally one or two of the panels stop producing power because of hig... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT For the people who recommended the PS Audio SACD Transport - any concerns about the reliability of the transport mechanism? I read in another thread that it uses a Denon & Marantz drive which is supposed to be more reliable than the cheap driv... | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra I've got a similar size room, although the vaulted ceiling is lower, about 9 to 15 feet. I'm also considering the Volti Rivals and the Pure Audio Trio15 Coaxial. Would like to hear from anyone who has compared them. I'll use a Pass Int-25 which... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @ledoux1238 Is it possible to run the LFT-8c with an integrated amp? Can I run balanced interconnects from the CD player to the woofer and from the CDP to the amp? Or from the CDP to the woofer and then from the woofer to the amp? "ust a r... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? 5 year old thread but still relevant. I'm also interested in trying high efficiency speakers, maybe the Classic Audio smaller speakers, or maybe the T3.4 or T7. Also interested in the Reference 3A Reflector. I don't think it is possible to liste... |
