| Class-D amps - a different re view "FWIW there is no audible difference between a damping factor of 60 and that of 1000..."Thank you Atma for the information Much appreciated."the problem with most solid state amps is. . ."Right on MRT. I should also like to add:"the problem with m... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Larryi, on second reading, the 302 is a stereo amp. You seem to be describing monoblocks. Do you remember their very approximate physical size? JRDG has 3 monoblocks in its 1st gen ICE offerings: 201, 501, 301. | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hi Larryi, I concur with a lot of your findings on the 1st generation Rowland 302 amp. I heard it twice at some length at a dealer, but it was not stirring my imagination at all. . . polite to a fault. Totally different experience with the 2nd gen... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Chaz801, in the same general price range as the Nuforce and Red Dragon, you should consider also having a listen to the Spectron Musician 3 Sig, the H2o, and to the Rowland 501 monos. You may find they sound somewhat different from one another. Yo... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Atma, I am glad you are withdrawing from "it can be expressed in words, therefore it must be true" kind of logic. As for distortions, I hear a lot of distortion in most systems, regardless of underlying technology and -- I should add -- regardless... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view "There is a common myth in audio that there is no 'best'. However, the English language tells us that it does exist- else the word 'best' would be meaningless."Interesting Atma, I did not know you were a nominalist. . . . I thought that particular... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view "and luck only determines the sound of the system- no doubt why so many want to know which class D sounds the best!"Good point Ralph, perhaps that's also why I would really like to know what solid state and what tubed amp sound the best, . . . bec... | |

| Class-D amps - a different re view Atmasphere, which one was in your view the sonically 'best' switching amp you heard 3 years ago?My admittedly very modest experience is that -- like tubed or classic solid state gear -- tubed amps can sound exceedingly different. | |

| Slim Devices SB3 external hard drive I have recently seen 1TB IOMEGA external drives advertised for as little as $244. This would yield a price of less than $500 for a twin drive system for full backup. Here is the relevant IOMEGA page:http://www.iomega.com/direct/products/family.jsp... | |
| what kind of audiophile are you ? I confess I may be all of the above. . . I fear I may also be a lover of music, of its instruments, history, philosophy, and socio-anthropological implications. Does that qualify me as an audiophile, or just as an odd duck?Guido | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view "At present we have to take the prudent view that good sound might be possible from switching amps, but we haven't heard it yet."Yes, that is prudent a view indeed. It looks to me like the author seems to have sampled a narrow mixture of usual sus... | |
| Observations on Audiogon Posts TVAD's words of wisdom should be engraved onto brass plaques -- or even better on instrument-grade boards of solid African Blackwood or Lignum Vitae -- and be featured above the system rack of every audiophile on this site. G. |
