| Thiel Owners I think the old Walsh and new DDD mostly bending wave drivers (there seems to some combined pistonic motion too) might prove that pistonic motion is not a requirement for time and phase accuracy. The Quad ESL ‘63 is another work around that would ... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant, ....”....measure richer....”....? | |
| Top down or bottom up? Just asking... It depends. For example: I always thought the sweet spot for Dunlavy’s were in the IV-V series, for Magnaplanar’s the III series, for Thiel’s the 2 & 3 series, and for Vandersteen’s the II series.It varies. | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? ^Or the similar DDD driver with augmented woofer instead? | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? @atmasphere , as per the testimonial from @tradeontheweb @georgehifi ran direct without buffer from an MSB Discrete R2R DAC to the Hypex NC500 monos | |
| Thinking about upgrade- seeking thoughts on “best” or “favorite” Conrad Johnson Amplifier My favorite c-j amps have been ss. I bet the Premiere 350 SA would work nicely with your Maggie’s. | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else I suggest settling on your speakers before doing anything else. | |
| Roon for cheapies Is there a complete kit with a fanless case? | |
| Passive preamp When considering using a passive line stage one should also consider the output voltage of the source components and the input sensitivity of the amplifiers. While the CD standard output via RCA is 2 Volts and the HDCD standard output via RCA is 2... | |
| Thiel Owners The most interesting German Physiks speaker line (I'd love to hear a pair!) use interesting cabinets, damping and drivers(!). German Physiks Carbon Mk IV Loudspeakers — German Physiks (german-physiks.com) | |
| HDMI ARC from Vizio M602i-B3 to Oppo 205? @erik_squires, Thank you! Yes, I used the appropriate HDMI output. Perhaps it’s not me. I’ll try again, switching on and off as you suggested. | |
| HDMI ARC from Vizio M602i-B3 to Oppo 205? @imhififan, thank you for taking the time and effort posting the link. Your consideration is appreciated. I had already referred to the manual, but it was of little help. | |
| What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way? I’m not sure totally different applies, especially when come to Nelson Pass amps. With the First Watt series included; Nelson Pass has become the Baskin Robbin’s 31 of amplifier designers. If restricted to Pass Labs gear, and again I’m not sure t... | |
| Is this still as important? Independent tests are great, but we also need to set a bar for consequences for misleading the consumer. | |
| RIP Chick Corea One of my all time favorites. Heard him live many, many times. When he was in town, I’d often buy tickets for every performance. A virtuoso musician and a brilliant composer. He will be missed.R.I.P. |
