| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers All I can say is "WE TRIED" and the sales pitch won out.Cheers George | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps Nah, this will be more Hypex stuff not GaN.Cheers George | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers smills59 OP @georgehifi, that Yamaha looks like it might be a good option.Thanks!!! I’d look at a s/h John Curl designed Parsound Halo Integrated Hint, or it’s successor the Parsound Halo Integrated Hint 6, both have ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC in... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? The manufacturer trying to confuse people with the "tube" doesn't pass. It's not really a tube, just the bottle of one with the GaN module stuffed into it. I think he regrets doing it as he did say, "Company founder Alberto Guerra admitted th... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps There is probably someone right now damping their heatsinks and getting better sound. That one smacks of snake oil. And you say "Measurements mean very little" really!!!! | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps I am not against measurements. First you say "Measurements mean very little" But obsessing about measurements? No ones obsessing as you say, it's fact they are important for good synergy between components. I don't listen to a distortion me... | |
| DAC Upgrade Machina Dynamica There is only one thing anyone should believe on the Machina Dynamica website and that it's https://youtu.be/RmyucZa6wD0?t=9 | |
| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? REALLY!!! You have to make sure the ac mains fuse is in the right way around thoughLook at his avatar a voodoo doll, and that's what he preaches! https://www.stereophile.com/images/user_account_pictures/picture-8619-1455903392.jpgAnd his site, wel... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Think anti-Jeff Rowland Design Group style yep +1 Tim, the "glitz queens" and it probably sounds as good or better | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps ricevsGeorge,If voodoo means listening to things and using the best sounding things then certainly I am a super voodoo lover. No, I called voodoo for saying "Measurements mean very little." they are very important if you can interpret them. If yo... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers Forgot to mention, also at 250hz there’s a 4ohm -60 degree phase angle load which will equate to around 2ohms EPDR ( equivalent peak dissipation resistance ), that will also be hard for a tube amp to drive. This is the power region, which will g... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers All you have to do is look at this impedance curve, with a 4ohm load and and negative 65 degrees of - phase angle at 3.5khz you have an amp busting load that would seem to be blow 2ohm!!! EPDR.Then again at 5khz to 20khz it goes from 2ohm down to ... | |
| DAC Upgrade George,It appears that you like the sound of R2R DAC’s and I assume you had the Holo Springs DAC? Which level did you have and would you assume that the revision 2 will be even better.It’s all written about here. From what I’ve been told the Level... | |
| DAC Upgrade Here is another affordable NOS R2R Multibit dac that's come to the market,https://www.audiomirror.com/product-page/tubadour-iii-non-oversampling-tube-dacCheers George | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. To my surprise [and disappointment], the sounds from the two DACs were utterly indistinguishable I take it you were only playing PCM RedBook cd? Cheers George |
