| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions Kenny,We evidently traveled the same path with the Class D amps. I do think they have a lot to commend themselves, but after listening to them for a few weeks, something was missing. The lacuna of sound is only apparent by comparing it to other a... | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K You can have audio nirvana for around $3K with Spatial Audio Hologram M3 Turbo speakers. They are the best speakers I have ever heard under $10K. | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Rectilear III's (not the low boys). I got them 40 years ago and sold them 30 years ago, but they were sublime. | |
| MRI grade vs Hospital grade electric outlets I just got the Porter Ports wired to the outlet for my system and I a bit puzzled as I honestly expected zero improvement. I have called BS on the "fuse-heads" and a boatload of other tweaks I have tried and rejected. While my impressions are pu... | |
| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please This an an excellent thread with lots of contrasting views. I have recently auditioned the NuPrime ST-10 and the Red Dragon S-500 class D stereo amps. I thought they both sounded excellent, no question, and they run very cool. After about 60 ho... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil 2channel8,I just popped back to see where this silly thread has gone and think you might have the most insightful post of all. High anxiety and OCD runs rampant in society, with sellers guilting folks into buying products of little or no utility.... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Geoff has as comrade in arms with Teo weighing in on the question raised by the OP. I hear nothing but pablum from the two of them. Kooky nonsense, really. However, if there is some benefit from elevating speaker cable, then get a saw and cut u... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I just got turned on to Karen Souza who I am listening to round the clock. She does covers of popular music with a decidedly jazz spin. | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings This is an amazing and rational thread. I am currently auditioning a Nuprime ST10 and Red Dragon S500 class D amps, but well $2K, and they are quite good. However, these class D amps do, frankly, seem less musically involving that that fine tube... | |
| Synergestic Research: SCAM Geoff, regardless of the SR tweaks I have auditioned and returned, I have never lost my senses to the degree that would motivate me to try a single one of your idiotic tweaks. Your stuff takes the cake for getting audio-fools to part with their c... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp Right you are, Kenny. I will run in the new amp for the requisite hours and then compare them. I do have the S500 and like you, the black case is no bother to my eyes. The ST10 has a main on/off switch on the back and a standby on/off switch on... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp I got the Red Dragon class D amp today and it sounds very good right out of the box, although not as fleshed out as the Nuprime and bit sibilant, but only slightly so. It has an unsightly case, as others have observed. Still,it might be difficu... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp Kim,Funny you should ask. I am sitting here in my living room waiting for the big brown truck to deliver the S500 at the moment. I figure I will be the last delivery of the day. I have been very impressed with the sound of the Nuprime amp as I ha... | |
| Looking for THE amp to anchor my system, Krell, Plinius or maybe a D Well, I am 100% with Kdude66 in auditioning both the Red Dragon S100 (I have one arriving Monday) and the Nuprime ST10, both class D amps. I have had the ST10 for two weeks today and much prefer its astonishing clarity to my venerable McCormack c... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp Celo, I do not recall the model of the Bel Canto amp I had maybe 5 years ago, but is was used and well run-in when I got it. My listening notes reveal that the sound of it was exceeding dry, lifeless and strident. I flipped it in within a few day... |
