| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? It depends on what you are looking for in sound quality. I would love to design a Class D amplifier that outperforms our Class A mono blocs but so far we cannot. No even close. BUT sound quality depends on the design, implementation and parts q... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER @randyh - I sugge34st having your current preamp upgraded to another level with better parts. That will get you to another level without searching for something to replace it. PLUS the better parts will not be in the typical preamp you will be sw... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER Comes down to the quality of the component. In general as you point out, most DACs do not have a quality output. BUT a poor preamp can also have an impact on sound quality. So you need to experiment in your system to see what works best. Ha... | |

| Help us build our playlist for our next show in November! Dean Peers. What components are you using to drive your speakers? We have a listening room in New Jersey where we get over 100 people each quarter to come listen to our systems. If you are interested in having us demonstrate your speakers we ... | |

| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance The balance IMO has to do with the parts in the components you are using. They are usually lower grade resistors and capacitors. PLUS the AC filtering is usually non existent. You can filter AC noise with filter chokes and that usually provides... | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of 4/5 times the cost? Good luck with that! It cost us $5K in parts alone to make custom mono block class A amps. The dealer wants 40% of the price. So if we sell them for $15K a pair we make $4K profit. WOW we are getting rich right? Selling 5... | |

| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing The Pro-Ject audio Transport. Have not heard the Jay's MKIII but overall the Pro-Ject was just as you said. I have not found anything that worked as well in our search since I gave mine to a friend a f3ew years back. CEC makes a very good trans... | |
| It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun @jeffrey125 I feel you pain my dad passed away 42 years ago when I was just a kid. I look up and thank him everyday for living and loving me! | |
