High value, giant killer speakers? My room is quite large it's hard to get proper spls. Prior to owning my EP KCIIs I had a love/hate relationship with Magnepan 3.5Rs driving it with W4S MC 250/500 class D amp using the 250 on the ribbons and the 500 on the bass panels, but it neve... | |
Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities br3098, that’s flat out wrong. If the speakers can handle < 40hz but the amp can’t, then you’ll never hear it from the speakersGfi’s suggestion sounds good; a pair of Shitt class A amps (~$1600), however, class A runs hot, burns a lot of electr... | |
Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 +1 to anwar. A friend brought his laptop over to hear some live recordings he made and to listen to a few songs in his hard drive that I had on cd: that experience totally blew my mind, but Im too old to abandon 3-400 cdsYou’re not likely going to... | |
Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button? I upgraded from series 7 mini-eclipse to Eclipse 8 | |
Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button? Like many here, I too have used a mishmash of cables, but in the last year I have gone 100% to WireWord series 7 & 8. My system never sounded better Decades ago WW understood the points GKait brought up | |
Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? mayorI have owned several hi-end TTs, and have heard many exotic high end TT setups ($$$$$) at various friends' houses many many timesThat aside, you're welcome regarding my experience so far with the EVS 1200 | |
Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? lowrider nailed itMy system has been essentially the same for a couple years; Marantz HD CD- 1 used as a transport, Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 (preamp/dac), WireWorld cabling, and Emerald Physics KC II speakers with WW wire loom upgrade and Clarit... | |
Would switching amps make a big difference? +1 Al and Atmosphere | |
Standmount speakers. I have $5000. Having lived with a volumetrically large living/music space (~ 40% larger than yours) for 25+ years with numerous attempts to use stand mounted speakers (the original Reference 3A DeCapos + 2 subs did the best to create a realistic spl ) I finally... | |
High value, giant killer speakers? Emerald Physics have won numerous awards and are very reasonably priced | |
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? select, I get what you mean, as I too am over-the-moon with the EVS 1200, and it has less than 50 hours playing time, but have you heard a GaN amp? I am scheduled to get a prototype soon. Could they possibly be "THAT' much better? . | |
Good CDTransport (player) without DAC? Jay's would be my first choice, but not in my budget. I have a Marantz HD CD-1. It's a player, but has all the digital outs. MSRP $500 | |
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? In general I agree with you, but my Audio Alchemy DPA -1 or the DPA-1Ms (monos) which got fantastic reviews in The Absolute Sound way back in 2016, aren’t even bringing 50 cents on the dollarSo while Rics amp could fall price-wise on the used mark... | |
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Ric, sorry, but this kind of stuff from people without a clue is bound to surfacegfi, let me get this straight, if a 100 lemmings jumped off a cliff they were all smart? You come across as much smarter, but your GaN only mantra holds you back. BTW... | |
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? HiFi G being slanderous. What else is new? Do you have a shred of proof? No of course not, but hey, it’s not easy being you. Ric never offered, neither did I ask for a discount, (and why would I with a 30 day money back guarantee?) and neither do ... |
