| Class D Amplification Announcement The first sign of class D arrival will be that people will stop talking about its arrival. | |
| I’ve got the upgrade itch I recently posted a similar thread and got some really good advice. You can check out my threads to see the details. | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement The rumors of class D arrival have been greatly exaggerated. if you’re paying attention similar claims have been made pretty much every year since 2010 | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience Innuos is another manufacturer that should be on everyone’s radar. It made a positive change in my system. Their Sense 2.0 software is amazing and SQ-wise it’s better than Roon. However, you also have the option to run it not only as a Roon endpoi... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement It’s about time. | |
| D’Agostino Progression integrated I bet in a level-matched blind test my Sumo Andromeda would be indistinguishable from any of the above amps. Only if one is both deaf and a Luddite. I bet life is great in a vintage echo chamber. | |
| Moving from integrated to separates I was listening to music a couple of nights ago, and it was sounding just amazing. I have been fiddling around with positioning (both speakers and subs) and to be honest I’m finding it hard to find fault with what I’m experiencing. For reference, ... | |
| Moving from integrated to separates @larryi I don’t know your situation as to ability to actually hear different amps. If you can, hear something that runs something other than KT 88, KT 120, or KT 150s. I should have mentioned that I have owned other tube amps (all integrated... | |
| Naim 5si integrated?? The reviews are good but is it still current in performance @sunnyjim i suggest you reach out to @alvin1118 for any concerns about servicing. He is also the distributor for Denafrips which provided servicing in TX. Maybe they can handle Kinki as well, worth asking. if you get a chance read Steve Huff’s... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? Whether a Pontus ii is better then Hugo or not is of course subjective. But I can tell you they’re quite different in how they sound. Either way, it looks like you’ve already settled on Aquarius. Congrats! | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? Based on your desired characteristics, you should also consider Denafrips Pontus II. I owned Qutest and preferred the Pontus by quite a bit. It adds a little warmth and heft to the sound that the Qutest was missing. | |
| Moving from integrated to separates @mulveling I was about to write something very similar to what you just said. In my experience, more power is not always about being able to go louder. It's the extra gas in the tank so to speak, better control, detail retrieval, and an overall se... | |
| Moving from integrated to separates @larryi Thanks for the suggestions. From what you're describing about Synthesis, it sounds very similar to the Audio Hungary Qualiton amps -- "more alive and having more weight". Atmasphere is also a good suggestion .. although, I have my doubts a... | |
| Moving from integrated to separates @lalitk Thanks for the suggestion. I will reach out to you later to pick your brain a bit more (as usual :)) Given your taste, I know that if you're recommending something it has to be extraordinary. Let's talk later. | |
| Moving from integrated to separates @holmz I couldn’t agree with your post more. I thought about your comment about whether this is a ’rational’ need ... and I have to admit that you’re right. I was listening to music last night and I was emotionally connected, my foot was tapping, ... |
