| Topping D90 III Discrete vs Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, which I love tweak1: Yeah, the AA DDP-1/PS-5 are an excellent combo and just crazy good for the giveaway prices they are going for on the used market currently. As soon as I purchased them, I had Revelation Audio Labs make me one of their Passage Cryo-Silve... | |
| Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier lanx0003---only their NC2K monoblocks have sufficient gain, 31dB, all their other amps are 25db at the high setting, but you do make a good point to consider. I guess the best thing to do is just go to all the class d amp manufacturers websites a... | |
| Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier Thanks mapman. I'll look further into Class D Audio. I'm not thrilled with that industrial look you mentioned but the size and sound are the major factors for me... well, and price of course. | |
| Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier Hello Erik. The bass amp needs to be higher gain than the Red Dragon S-500 I'm using to drive the satellite section of my large Legacy Focus clone/diy speakers. These use Eton drivers, 2 midbass, midrange, tweeter per side, and these drivers ar... | |
| Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier mapman: would you use the Ganfet amp(s) solely to power woofers? What I've read about them is quite positive but, I'm not a fan of their appearance. I like their older cases much better. | |
| Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier The CLass D Audio amps can have a gain over 30dB but the Buckeye and the Bel Cantos are 26 and 27 respectively. In my system, the woofers are significantly lower in sensitivity than the rest of the drivers so, to compensate, I do need an amp with... | |
| Shanling ET3 transport: anyone changed or upgraded the fuse audphile1 I was looking at the Shanling as a back-up and secondary transport that I could tailor the sound of. My main transport is a Bel Canto CD3t. I have several slugs of different metals and the sound of each is quite different, at least ... | |
| Shanling ET3 transport: anyone changed or upgraded the fuse Yeah wouterk, it's a nice-looking transport and the reviews are enticing for sure. I just know that upgrading the fuses (or using quality slugs) makes a for big improvement in sound quality, but the fuse is buried in this transport and I was told... | |
| Best 12AU7? I used the Brimar 13D5 several years ago and loved them. In my SET, they were very clean and clear without being bright. I had the RCA clear tops prior and the Brimars were in another league in my opinion with quite noticeably more detail. Some... | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant The Ediswan CV5358 might be what you're looking for. I used a pair for a while, and they were certainly smoother than the Seimens 7dj8's which replaced them. Check Joes Tube Lore for more details. | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? lemonhaze: You've given some very good and specific instructions which are so hard to come by. And wrapping the end of pliers in leather, that's one of those life hacks that should have been common sense. At the speaker end though, I'm good. I... | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? waytoomuchstuff: thank you for responding to ktarver's post. I had wanted to but just couldn't get motivated. As to your 1st response, I've been using speaker cable that is 7 solid core 18awg silver plated copper wires per leg without terminati... | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? elliotbnewcombjr: good food for thought. I may get a set of the Morris terminals and just see how I could use them. They would probably be a good way to combine different kinds of wire as I may want to try incorporating some molybdenum wire late... | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? puptent: thank you for a well thought out response but I'm afraid I've experience that runs counter to what you've stated. May I ask why you think the following to be true? You wrote, "11 gauge should not be needed for speakers. 12 gauge is ov... | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? benanders: I haven't messed with amps at all. They're still 100% stock except the fuses. I did internally rewire my speakers with doubled runs of solid core 18 awg silver plated copper and some of the crossover parts were upgraded a few years b... |
