| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality +1 nonoise! It's anybody's guess what the provenance of a particular streamed music track is! | |
| Opinions Please on Nordost 2HENET2M and Nordost LSRD1MR Don't waste money on expensive wire/cables! The whole wire/cable business is based upon convincing the obsessed and insecure that paying more always results in "better" sound! | |
| Marantz UD 7007 DAC I don't think that model has a digital input. Just a digital output. | |
| Can a power surge cause amp to clip? There is something wrong with your amp. Probably in its power supply. Bad capacitor? | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? King Kong with Jean Luc Ponty on violin! | |
| The best tube poweramp. . What do you think about ? And in honorable mention are my pair of Heath W5 monos, each with a new-production pair of Gold Lion KT66's. | |
| The best tube poweramp. . What do you think about ? For wider speaker choices I have a pair of the Paoli-modified Dynaco MkIII's. These were the top-rated tube amps by Harry Pearson of TAS back in the days of yore! | |
| The best tube poweramp. . What do you think about ? The built-by-Julius Futterman H3aa mono OTL tube amps using six 6LF6 in PP are certainly contenders. I have #56 and #57. They are best used with 8ohm and above speakers. | |
| Diminishing returns? Buy the best floor-standers you can afford and keep the Denon. Later add a good stereo amp and use the Denon as a preamp. No need to junk it! | |
| Diminishing returns? +1 millercarbon: a good or better two- channel stereo system always beats multi-channel! All those extra sound sources (speakers) just cause confusion! Let the rock throwing by the HT crowd begin! | |
| Why does Esoteric refuse to update its older models ? Esoteric wants you to buy the new stuff! Capitalism: Out with the Old - In with the New! | |
| I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond! If you want to hear a major improvement buy a better pair of speakers! | |
| I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond! Does the picture on your large flat screen TV look worse because it has a cheap switching power supply? Of course not! SWPS's were perfected years ago! Only the neurotically obsessed claim that a linear PS is somehow sonically "better"! Don't fall... | |
| Headphone amp on Pre-Amp with no available Tape Loop Yes, no problem! Just turn off your amp when you use the phones. | |
| Distortion So the OP is implying that expensive amps with low distortion sound bad??? |
