| GaN-based Class D power amps No DAC needed for the amps I mentioned. Digital-in, w/o converters, meaning a digitally-amplified signal. How else do these power a signal ? No-one here should listen Ralph Karsten. He knows tubed circuits and that’s about it... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps It was stated earlier in this thread that "there are no truly digital amplifiers".This is very wrong. They’ve been out for 20 years -starting with the TacT Millennium in 1998 and reviewed (that year) by Robert Greene of The Absolute Sound.Wadia ha... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. There is no surprise in the quality of RBCD these days. Many have known this for 20+ years. I wrote a piece on CD sound (on Audio Asylum in 2009) called "red book riddle solved". To my surprise, I was nearly laughed out of the barn. Letters to the... | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Cordesman, for several years now, said that Legacy are the best speakers he’s heard. And never mentions his references, so we don’t know what he’s using.Kramer is not U.S./Canadian based -the area (of reviewers) I was referring to. But we can add ... | |

| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers keithahughes: Ken Kessler, writer for HiFi News, had the same for many years. And now uses stacked LS3/5A’s and it was a "revolutionary" advance for him.It’s not just reviewers -go to any speaker thread (on the web) and you’ll see very little supp... | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers There must be 150+ reviewers in U.S. and Canada. Besides Michael Fremer and Marc Mickelson, I'm not aware of *any* writer that uses Wilson. They know better.... | |
| Article about us Audiophiles: 'Audiophilia Forever' An out-of-date take on audio. "LP is the standard", using hi-rez (not CD) for a digital reference, cone speakers (not waveguide/horns or the latest ESLs) as a reference. He got (affordable) integrated-amps and headphones right, however... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 Amps are better today, *if* we assume solid-state. Pass is better and a good number of tube lovers admit this made them ditch their gear. So, something happened.If we believe Benchmark amp specs, noise and distortion measure lower than the 70s, wh... |
