| Whether to do anything about the limitations of our ears Not sure a super flat in room response from 20hz-20khz is what most people like. Good DRC applied properly will give you a flat response over your speakers frequency range and your preferred listening curve. | |
| The smoothest amp you've heard? You're right it doesn't really make much sense your speakers and room will have 10 times more to do with what you hear than an amp as long as it's used within its limits. | |
| Tiny bridges everywhere, but why? Since you say you're tapped out for costly additions at the moment and before you install your room treatments you should learn and run a program called REW. It's free but a calibrated microphone will run about $100. Once you get an idea of how yo... | |
| Tiny bridges everywhere, but why? I wouldn't spend much money or time fooling with cable lifters but it does make things look a bit neater. They do absolutely nothing to your sound so no need to worry they might cause a deleterious effect. | |
| what's going on with specs? Preference of sound is not the point. Whether one thinks certain products that reproduce music or if a live event sounds "good" is subjective. If one thinks amp A sounds better than amp B buy amp A but If an amplifiers noise and distortion are mea... | |
| HiFi vs MidFi Price has very little to do with High Fidelity. Take the $3K Benchmark AHB2 that amplies the incoming signal impeccably and the recent $45K D'Agostino that limps along like an Edsel and there's your high fidelity vs mid fidelity. | |
| what's going on with specs? Of the 4 amps the OP mentions maybe and that's a long shot maybe one might pick out the BHK 250 over the other 3 between the other 3 I know I wouldn't be able too. | |
| what's going on with specs? Signal over noise and distortion. Power v distortion full load at 4 Ohm both channels driven. Frequency response. Get 2 amps that measure about the same driven below clipping will sound the same or at least so close you would have a hard time tell... | |
| what's going on with specs? Music is art, music reproduction is 100% science. 2 amps that measure the same as long as they are used within their limits will sound the same. | |
| Latest D'Agostino monoblock amps??? What do you expect for $45K? Perfection? | |
| what's going on with specs? It looks like the BHK 250 has more distortion 20 - 20 k than the Parasound whether it's audible I have no idea. Of the 4 you mention paired with the Elac I doubt you could hear a difference, the BHK perhaps since it has tubes tossed in probably w... | |
| Audiophile-grade ground rod? The electrician installed 2 ground rods 6 feet apartI got to wondering about this so I measured and the rods are 10' apart. | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? It all matters from the perspective you need these components in order to create a system. Most of the answers you got are nothing but audiophile nonsense. The amp, preamp, DAC if you go digital are way less important than the speakers and room. I... | |
| Audiophile-grade ground rod? The electrician installed 2 ground rods 6 feet apart when I needed to have a new panel box to replace my old one , it's now code where I live. | |
| Room treaments What type of speakers, size of room? Diffraction might be better at first reflection or nothing at all. |
