| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong ricevs,Also, very high power amps are large and heavy, with long circuit paths and lots of circuitry with plenty of opportunity for mismatch of transistors, etc. As you say, remove what isn't necessary. So the D'ag Relentless is probably not pur... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane ricred1,In music, audio reproduction and life, there are some objective absolutes and some subjective preferences. Clarity/detail is one of those absolutes, not a matter of opinion. Songs have words which are often hard to fully appreciate. It ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong ricevs,Many interesting topics for discussion. As you know, specs don't tell the full story of how an amp sounds in a system. While I am not as technically knowledgeable as you or other manufacturers, I have learned that most of those specs are ... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane millercarbon.I agree with everything you said. The other factor to consider is the quality of the recording. Rock/pop are heavily processed in general, whereas classical recordings usually are natural. If the goal is high fidelity (HF) and not ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong ricevs,What amp have you heard side by side with your EVS 1200 that makes it "better" or SOTA, whatever that means? I am not impressed by high retail prices on hyped big brand names. I heard an Audionet that was warmer and rolled off compared t... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong klh007,Can we hear about sound quality of the Mivera vs EVS 1200 amps, rather than concentrating on dynamics only? For me, purity and clarity at moderate SPL is far more important than loud, lower quality sound. If an amp has lesser clarity at m... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour What is happening with the 6moons review of the 114? Srajan seems to be bored. "To be continued" has been there for a month or so. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong jetter,Also, tweak1 likes his Audio Alchemy DPA1 stereo amp, which is class D. I agree that he may be eagerly anticipating the EVS 1200, but when he gets it his ears will tell the truth. | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour Viber7,Thanks for your well expressed clarification, particularly how the 118 by itself keeps the guitar and related transient rich instruments sharp and clear, in contrast to the Christine which has a softening effect. I also like your methodolo... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour Viber7,Many thanks for your informative review of the 118, which I found helpful because we have similar values/tastes in music and audio. Mike Fremer in a recent Stereophile found the CH Precision 1.1 to have a touch of warmth but otherwise reaso... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong tweak1,The latest TONE Audio review of Van Alstine SET 400 suggests it is somewhat tubey and forgiving. Since the SET 600 is merely a bridged version of the 400, the sound quality should be similar, although more powerful. The AVA site also desc... | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s thomasj,"Moved them to the inside and both my wife and I feel like there is some giving up of depth and a tad more brightness (paradoxical)." Also, you find that the LRS are superior to your previous Maggies. Many years ago, I had the Maggie Tym... | |
| Sound quality vs. volume wanderingmoo,No, room treatments may help, but you will still find that the sound is clearer and more focused at lower volumes. Even in my dead room due to clutter, this is the case. The ear is less sensitive to bass, so it takes higher volumes ... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour As a violinist, I think this latest review by Dr. Michael Bump is reasonably informative. Many audiophiles describe sound in terms of width, depth, decay. These are all derived characteristics, particularly width and depth which are subjective, ... | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? stringreen,Totally agree that a SOTA stereo amp will beat monos with inferior technology for absolute performance. Since ricevs is advocating for best sound per dollar, we are looking forward to stereo amps with Purifi modules. The corresponding... |
