| Different amplifier class for different music genres? Thank you all. You learn every day. It has been a long time I was wondering if my amps have synergy with my speakers. I am not prepared to change my speakers at this point so I would like to try different amps. @mijostyn. Thanks! It sounds like yo... | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? @georgehifi, I generally agree but the reviewer was talking about the Gryphon Antileon which has a massive PSU and provides tons of current. Of course it could be that he was talking lots of rubbish... | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? @redwoodaudio, thank you. I did ask a genuine question, there are people in here who think they know it all and are frankly rude. Anyway, I agree with you about system synergy and a small change can alter the overall system sound. While I would li... | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? @yeti42 Thanks, that is exactly what I want to avoid, a total mismatch of amp with the speaker for the type of music that I listen to. Perhaps a more appropriate question would be to ask for amp recommendations for my speakers, if anyone still us... | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? is the signal from a Metallica song,different from the signal from a classical song? No of course not, the same signal passes from the source all the way to the speakers, but my thinking is that the emphasis may be different for classical music t... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well I still use my Weiss DAC202 which I have since 2011 and I am not changing it any time soon. The DAC chip(s) influences the sound of the DAC but there are other factors that are just as important, like the quality of the clock and jitter control cc... | |
| How old are you? Just turned 60 few days a month ago. I have been listening to metal since I was 14... and I still do. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 250 vs Hegel390 Thanks! I was looking for this answer months now. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 250 vs Hegel390 @thieliste Thanks for the suggestion. Is it really that much better that the original Diablo? Sorry OP for derailing your thread. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 250 vs Hegel390 I would be very interested to know which integrated you will end up with. I am in a similar situation possibly looking for a higher end integrated. I am considering the Diablo (even thinking of the Diablo 300 but I haven't found out how much bette... | |
| Shielded or unshielded power cables for class-D monoblocks? Thanks Discopants. I have never heard of fo.q as my music interests were put on the back burner for few very difficult years. I have used dynomat before to dampen chassis and components but this sounds different. Like Tantejuut asks what is the ef... | |
| Shielded or unshielded power cables for class-D monoblocks? Strangely I never had luck with Oyaide connectors (their lower end ones) while I like their cables. I think I will try the Viborg gold IECs, they are cheap enough. I listen mainly to metal and little opera so I need good dynamics, fast transients... | |
| Shielded or unshielded power cables for class-D monoblocks? Btw thanks for the Puritan link, useful. | |
| Shielded or unshielded power cables for class-D monoblocks? Thanks tantejuut! I did hear lots of good things about the FI-50 NCF but I don't really want to spend that much. I like your idea making a star quad out of a stripped NEP-3003, that was another cable I was considering. As I believe matching the m... | |
| Shielded or unshielded power cables for class-D monoblocks? The amps are driven directly from a Weiss DAC 202 connected with balanced ICs. The front end is currently powered from a power conditioner and I think I will be using shielded power cables there. I currently use DIY supra lorad cables with wattage... |
