| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? lowrider nailed itMy system has been essentially the same for a couple years; Marantz HD CD- 1 used as a transport, Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 (preamp/dac), WireWorld cabling, and Emerald Physics KC II speakers with WW wire loom upgrade and Clarit... | |
| Would switching amps make a big difference? +1 Al and Atmosphere | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. Having lived with a volumetrically large living/music space (~ 40% larger than yours) for 25+ years with numerous attempts to use stand mounted speakers (the original Reference 3A DeCapos + 2 subs did the best to create a realistic spl ) I finally... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? Emerald Physics have won numerous awards and are very reasonably priced | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? select, I get what you mean, as I too am over-the-moon with the EVS 1200, and it has less than 50 hours playing time, but have you heard a GaN amp? I am scheduled to get a prototype soon. Could they possibly be "THAT' much better? . | |
| Good CDTransport (player) without DAC? Jay's would be my first choice, but not in my budget. I have a Marantz HD CD-1. It's a player, but has all the digital outs. MSRP $500 | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? In general I agree with you, but my Audio Alchemy DPA -1 or the DPA-1Ms (monos) which got fantastic reviews in The Absolute Sound way back in 2016, aren’t even bringing 50 cents on the dollarSo while Rics amp could fall price-wise on the used mark... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Ric, sorry, but this kind of stuff from people without a clue is bound to surfacegfi, let me get this straight, if a 100 lemmings jumped off a cliff they were all smart? You come across as much smarter, but your GaN only mantra holds you back. BTW... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? HiFi G being slanderous. What else is new? Do you have a shred of proof? No of course not, but hey, it’s not easy being you. Ric never offered, neither did I ask for a discount, (and why would I with a 30 day money back guarantee?) and neither do ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I mentioned the EVS 1200 a few posts back. I started a thread. It's really amazing , but at $2200, it's like stealing | |
| All in One Integrated Amp or dac streamer plus amp - around 5k to 6k USD The new Elac DPA- 2 and DDP-2 are well worth checking out. Enjoy the music just reviewed the DDP-2 $4k the pair! Add a second amp ($1499) and have a totally killer system | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Ahem, here's what I said: clearly I was NOT referring to the M700 prices However, listening to the Ric Schultz EVS 1200 for only 2 days, it is in an entirely different class and at $2200 it's like stealing. That said, they are built to order in s... | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? Having owned both open baffle and box speakers, there's nothing like the openness of open baffle. In your range I highly recommend the Emerald Physics KCIIs. They are offering a ridiculous special right now. Hurry | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? aber,Im missing something reading your post. Once PS goes direct prices should be lowered by the same amount dealers were getting. Case in point the M700s MSRP is $2999... I enjoyed my time with the M700s, they sounded quite similar to my Audio... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? A new class D amp to investigate is EVS1200 from Ric Schultz. I plugged mine in last night. I started a thread about it today |
