Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I got my GAN1 amp today and set it up with the gear described in my prior post. All is working great. I decided to use my best USB cable too. The unit is FOB so it is not fair to comment too much, but I am seriously impressed by this unit. The so... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
I tried a quilt and then bought an acoustic panel. I also tried both. I ended up throwing the TV out.  In that photo above those books must really help. It helped my setup when I put a bookshelf behind the speakers.    
Luxman 590AX II Break-In
The m900u (and I am sure the M10X) has way more current than the 509x. I had the same observation when I heard those 2 with Harbeth (I was looking to buy KEF Reference 1). Dealer told me it is the power supply in the m900u that is the making that ... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I have not received my GAN1 unit yet but I did receive all the extra streaming parts I listed in a prior post: WyWiire "Silver" SPDIF cable with BNC to RCA termination Sonore UltraDigital a cheap USB cable (I have a WyWIre USB also but I am n... 
VTV D300 Digital amp
@ricevs You are correct and so am I, a Kumbaya moment! A.H.B. The letters A, H, and B allude to the unique topology of the amplifier’s output stage. The AHB2 combines class-AB, and class-H topologies using a feed-forward error correction ... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
@grisslehamn I understand some of us start from a deficit on those brain cells, so here is a link to what I am talking about. My buddy had some other model, but the projector tech is "Laser" something. There is this new thing called the internet t... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
@rlross3 No one beeching about your placement is really offering you any advice as to how to remedy it. Send me a DM on A’gon and I can direct you to some DSP solutions that will get you excellent sound and you will want to keep your speakers in t... 
VTV D300 Digital amp
The Benchmark AHB2 amps letters A, H, and B allude to the unique topology of the amplifier’s output stage. The AHB2 combines class-AB, and class-H topologies using a feed-forward error correction system.   Come on guys and gals reading this thre... 
speaker cable question
I use Audience FrontRow with Benchmark AHB2 monos and I was comparing it today with WyWire ’Silver" speaker cables (not made with silver). The Wywire had way more bass output than the Audience. However, the Audience FrontRow was clearer and sounds... 
Top 3 Headphones
@bound4h My Focal and Meze Empy dealer told me to buy the cheaper Meze over the Focal. He said was tired of doing the paperwork for the Focal warranty work. He said they have a lot of issues (you may want to Google this to confirm), I spent less ... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@kitsap2 This video will describe my 2 headphones. I have 2 of the older RAAL amp interface boxes ($700) to the SR1a earphones. My older amp interface box will not work with the circumoral CA-1a headphone, but I have 2 other dedicated headphone am... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I know some digital cables should not be too long. What is the max length suggested for SPDIF cables. I have a great location to put the GAN1 amp (for headphone use) and I would get a lot less grief from the wife if I could hide my 2 streamer unit... 
Best amp pairing for Focal Kanta 1s
Luxman would be great. Especially a used m900u. I like the KRELL XD a bit more, but they are ugly as heck while the Luxman is close in sonics and so much nicer to look at.  
Best amp pairing for Focal Kanta 1s
I would not think the Be driver Kanta and the Purifi based NAD would be an ideal combo. I would think it would sound a lot like the SimAudio 860 amp and Paradigm Persona 5F I demoed once. It was great for about an hour but not for long listening s... 
Best DACs under $7,000.00
@verdantaudio How are you going to get the music bits into the SPDIF of the GAN1?
