| My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today Doug, I sure agree that these new Class D amps are amazing. I thought years ago that analogue sound reproduction was kaput, but nothing could be further from the truth. I think Atmsaphere and Pass Labs, among others, are going to gravitate to... | |
| My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today I swapped out my tube amp for the VTV amp yesterday for the heck of it and again I marvel at how musical the VTV amp is, no question, just clean clear power. I listened to it for hours and hours yesterday and loved it more as the listening went o... | |
| Cube Audio speakers in Northern California? Cool. So long as you avoid Ignacious J. Reilly's hot dog carts, it was my experience that you are always assured of a delightful meal in NOLA. I ate so many fresh oysters at a nice place one night that I thought I would not eat again for a week... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp orgman, You are bit late to this thread, yet I agree that Class D technology has markedly improved since this thread began. I have the VTV Audio EVS1200 amp, modded by Rick Schultz, and it is as you say, it strikes me as being ruler flat in its s... | |
| Cube Audio speakers in Northern California? NOLA Gents, Sadly, I see the Upperline Restaurant in NO has closed. I was way underdressed for my meal there a few years ago, but they let me in. It was the first and last time I had turtle soup; the rest of the meal and wine was grand, as was... | |
| Cube Audio speakers in Northern California? David and Mozart, I will say that New Orleans is my favorite vacation spot in the US, by far, no question. To hook up with you both would be a delight, finally hearing the Cube speakers, which my friend that owns them is ecstactic about. I wil... | |
| No connectivity to Micro Rendu device My MR is directly connected to the MR device via an ethernet cable, streaming from my new iMac, OS v.10.17.5. I select the MDP/DLNA renderer and am unclear as to the alternative connectivity you suggest using wifi... Can you explain further. Th... | |
| Can You Hear Me Now On a slightly different vein, how many folks are aware of Arthur B. Lintgen, MD, who could reliably identify recordings by examining the grooves on an LP. The powers of perception that some folks have is simply amazing. I clearly don't have any ... | |
| Can You Hear Me Now This is the best thread topic I have had the joy of reading for a long time, like going back to grad school. A huge shout out to Teo and Mahgister for their erudition, and especially the tutorial about the Dunning-Kruger Effect, something I long ... | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? Great list. Nobody mentioned Don Sachs, who I have done business with over 12 years and have his latest amp and preamp. Wonderful fella. Clayton Shaw too, for sure, nobody nicer in the business. I love his speakers! | |
| Amps In Wall Or Conditioner? I have had the Niagra 1200 for a couple of weeks now and am super impressed with it. A quieter background and a more expansive soundstage. I would say the improvement in the sound of my system adding the AQ unit was quite similar to putting Iso-... | |
| Schiit PSYT audio cables +1 Remarkable ad copy, brilliant tongue-in-cheek text, pressing most audiophile "buttons". Given the utility of their gear, I am sure their cables will be just fine for many buyers of their gear. I sure need reasons to laugh more and more th... | |
| Schiit PSYT audio cables Understood, thanks. There is a sweet spot between the offerings of Schiit's cables and those by SR and Crystal Cable that might be fine for most audiophiles. The happy middle ground. At any rate, their ad copy for the cables is hilarious. | |
| Bob Caver 275 Power Amp I sure agree with Oldhymec in my amazement of mentioning Emotiva and Carver in the same sentence... unless Emotiva has higher-end gear that I am unaware of. I had a multi-channel Emotiva driving my Linkwitz LXmini's, the same amp that Dr. Linkwit... | |
| So where should the tubes be? This is an easy question to answer: in the preamp. Then the amp, but first the preamp. I think a tube preamp with a SS preamp is wonderful, but since I have both a Don Sachs' tube preamp and tube amp, during the hot summers in the Central Valle... |
