| Balanced versus single ended @atmasphere It is a Peter Madnick design: Audio Alchemy DDP- 1> LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp. I never considered that the DDP-1 might not be True/Dif balanced. This certainly isn’t definitive from TAS review Robert Harley 3/2016: I began by lis... | |
| Balanced versus single ended +1 to Ralph. I switched to Dif/True balanced systems decades ago. That said, I do find differences in mfg XLR cables (including length of identical cables), which could be the XLRs themselves, and/or quality of solder/ joints, as well as the wire,... | |

| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @markmuse I think Ric Schultz mods the M225s | |

| 10k Towers with biggest soundstage? Having owned and been very frustrated with Maggie 3.5Rs, there are better options with tower type speakers, which are much easier to drive, tall with narrow faces, which don't cut off the room due to being similar in size to 2 doors= much better W... | |

| Competitive class D amp suggestions Some amplifier power supplies/transformers can create high frequency vibrations when they are not properly isolated (Ric Schultz/EVS addresses that with his mods), as well as external vibration from the speakers feeding back into the kit Other ve... | |
