| Dac level to replace NAD C542 My 542 has always had a small tracking/reading issues. Rarely refuses to play a disk but seems to be getting worse. Its kind of random. Im interested in playing full resolution off my pc and phone as well so I figure my replacement should perhaps ... | |
| CD Player Upgrade Have you considered another NAD? the C545BEE or C565BEEI will consider those. I believe my CD23 was a far better player than the C542 but its one "weakness" happened to be in an area of utmost importance to me due my taste in music. I find the 542... | |
| Impedance matching device phttp://schiit.com/products/freya GeorgeThat does look nice but I am really happy with my VTL. Something to think about. | |
| Impedance matching device Thank you for the responses. It could very well be sensitivity related. Im really not sure.Hi there, you don't have a borderline mismatch or anything like that. The VTL should drive an amp with 23 Kohm input impedance just fine. Why do you think... | |
| Aragon 8008ST vs Sumo Andromida III 405 posts03-09-2017 2:38pmHello energeezerI think from your description you are hearing the difference's between the two amps fairly accurately as I remember hearing them for a few weeks of time side by side about 25yrs ago. I had them on Thiel 1.... | |
| Aragon 8008ST vs Sumo Andromida III I say definitely give your soon to be refreshed 8008ST a fighting chance. Either or both of the scenarios could exist. Though long in the tooth, the Aragon 8008ST is a rock solid powerful amp that deserves a second chance after repair/refresh.Ab... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings So it seems that you have ZERO interest in this Class D amplifier technology. You simply want everyone else to buy into the Class D amplifier technology, and just "give" you their nasty old Class A A/B amplifiers. Nice thread synopsis!Perhaps we c... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Some of you miss the point. The point is simple. As Class D advances it will eat into the high end class A market. We have seen this already happening to a small degree. Some people on this thread indicate they already switched.Once Class D is cl... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings "761 posts02-02-2017 8:39pmThe analogy is interesting because from the start hi definition flat panels were better than CRT scrrens, I don’t think the same is true and maybe never will be with regard to class a and ab amps v. Class d amp"This is a... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings Although I did say I was waiting I know I can't. Ill lose my mind.My Aragon 8008 (admittedly not true high end) has been at the shop for 6 weeks now and I’m suffering withdrawl. If it isn’t ready soon or can’t be economically repaired I will buy s... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings I compare the two because I am very familiar wit CRT and its slow demise. I see the amp situation to be somewhat similiar.I agree vinyl is very alive and I agree Class D is not ready for high end prime time. I dont believe high end class A ala Kre... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings I agree that class D is not there yet. There was a time when flat panel and digital projection could not hold a candle to CRT particularily in black level. Discerning home theatre enthusiasts would still put up with huge, heavy, inefficient CRT di... | |
| Aragon, Parasound or Bryston Thanks for the responses. Looks like Parasound for me. Not ready to mess with class D yet. Too many mixed opinions and no real way to audition.I had an old Yamaha receiver in the 80s. It was an R1000 with a switching power supply. It was the firs... | |
| Help me deceide on pre-amp please Thanks for the great suggestions?Any more? | |
| Help me deceide on pre-amp please I was looking with interest at the Rogues and in particular the 66 that is on here now. The only problem is that during my research I found that they have a very spotty history as far as reviews both prof and user goes.http://www.positive-feedback... |
