| Apollon audio vs Nord Hypex NC500 mono blocks which to pick @nordacoustics Hi Colin, Thanks for taking time to responding. Better layout is always welcome. I will contact you over email and discuss about best way to get 3 speakers powered by NC500. | |
| How are you hearing no difference? @mzkmxcv +1@4hannons Ask your friend to use the same preamp without telling you for the same track at the same SPL level. May be you will find more often than not that you think you can hear a difference. A good experiment which is repeatable will... | |
| Apollon audio vs Nord Hypex NC500 mono blocks which to pick Yes I did read the review at 6Moons, but no other reviews are there yet. Seems like Acoustic Imagery is no more and Merrill does not have those older amps on the website anymore. | |
| best preamps @plga +1 , Audio-gd does make good products. I have 3 headphone amps made by Kingwa and one of which is Master-5(I think) pre amp + headphone amp + DAC, Class A. Lot of folks at head-fi.org like products made by Kingwa. | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible Could it be the tweeter and how you perceive hf sound?. Did you try a different speaker?. | |
| Apollon audio vs Nord Hypex NC500 mono blocks which to pick @jackd I don't understand that , 400 Watts @ 8 Ohm, 700 Watts @ 4 Ohm all the way to 550 Watts at 2 Ohm. The specs for NC500 can perhaps only be bested by Benchmark ABH2 in the THD category. First 1 watt to 200 watts @ 4 Ohm THD < 0.001, Outpu... | |
| Apollon audio vs Nord Hypex NC500 mono blocks which to pick I wonder why no major AMP company in US embraced Hypex NC500 modules yet. ATI still selling NC400 based amps, which are still good. | |
| Apollon audio vs Nord Hypex NC500 mono blocks which to pick @jackd I was planning to get three may be just get the 3 channel unit would be best ?. | |
| Switching between 2 amps , 1 set of speakers? @cytocycle thanks for pointing to Luxman. Looks like a well built product.@douglas_schroeder is there no switch in the market that you feel is of sufficient quality?. When testing between amps, plugging and unplugging cables is quite a chore. If y... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! A minor correction quoting Sanders: "I don't understand why don't every one uses large mid range drivers (large electrostatic panel accomplishes this), active crossovers (I forgot few things he mentioned here :( ) and room correction, it is just ... | |
| High power handling speakers Any used paradigm studio or signatures will do. Factor the AMP expense when considering speakers to play loud and clean. Consider 92 dB or higher @ 8 Ohm stable speakers.15x30 is not a big room btw!!. | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! Pound to pound Paradigm Persona 9H will be similar to Legacy Aeris at 50% of the price. Both are serious about room correction but you also get a DAC and preamp for free, again at little more than 50% of price. Aeris has both a 4" Tweeter with 1" ... | |
| Luxman m-900u owners - quick question @garebear did you ever hear about Coda 15.5?. Class A up-to 100 Watts into 8 Ohms and then Class AB till 150 Watts into 8 Ohm, less than 50% retail compared to Luxman M-900u btw. If you want to compare options and want first watts to be pure Class A. | |
| Paradigm Persona series At this price range and since you value dsp correction you have to check out Legacy Focus XD and Legacy Aeris with Wavelet. They check all your boxes , active amplification, correction across the audio band with tailored parameters for your speake... | |
