| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? No takers? Nobody can tell me what the perfect amp is like? Am I to take that as conceding that Nelson is right? | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB I've got sitting on my table a clone of a First Watt F5 running hot rails of 32.5V and biased up to 1.26 amp. In push-pull, that's 2.52 amp by 32.5V for a class A envelope of about 82 watts. 41 watts RMS. Keep in mind that when you halve the load ... | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? No doubt supercaps are expensive as all hell, but when you're talking about $50,000 amps, is $3000 really all that insane when it comes to filtering a power supply? I'm not suggesting using them as primary supply filter caps. I'm suggesting using ... | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB Single ended class A amps don't so I'm going to assume you're talking push-pull class A. A class AB amp is usually said to clip when the demands of the waveform exceed the voltage and/or current capability of the amp circuit or power supply. Usual... | |
| What exactly is colored sound? Like it or not, you're listening to a stereo in a room. That's ALL you're ever going to really be hearing no matter how hard you try to make it sound like something else. There will always be some sort of color. It's like trying to color match pai... | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? I'm surprised nobody has brought up or suggested supercaps. Those things have insane capacity, very low internal resistance, huge voltage capacities, and charge very rapidly. A lot of you folks probably have supercaps in your digital gear already ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Anyone out there banging on that "perfect amp" drum mind explaining exactly what the perfect amp would sound like or perform like? A straight wire with gain? We already know that isn't ideal. So what then? | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? I'd be hard pressed to tell someone to buy 900 series Focals if they can swing landing 1000 series. At the same time, I could own Electra 1008's instead of 936's for the same money. I'm with you Mofojo on the Focal sound. It has a physicality to i... | |
| Another soundstage question Oh my God! I'm marking this day on my calendar because Geoff made a post I completely agree with!Also worthy of mentioning, my other pair of speakers are 1975 ESS AMT1's and they're short little speakers. 30 inches tall in fact. I shim the AMT's u... | |
| Another soundstage question Not all speakers do soundstaging well. Some put a bigger emphasis on tone. My Focals project a towering, deep, stage. Billy Gibbon's amp sounds like it's next to him on the floor. Danny Carey's drums sound 8 feet high. Near and far is vivid. I str... | |
| Do bluetooth speakers for cars exist? No, pretty much not. Most people just get a head unit with BT. | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? No. I didn't listen to Revels. I didn't exactly go out on a structured mission to listen and meticulously evaluate speakers. I spent years just listening to stuff when I came across a shop and Focals always had something I didn't hear in other spe... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 $1000 this way or that shouldn't be a big deal on a speaker like this. I have no doubt I could find a dealer to knock $1000 off a pair. My dealer knocked $700 off my 936's, and no, they weren't showroom models. The big problem with the Sopra line ... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 Google "kanta No. 2 price", I mean. | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 The $9000 price is what you get when you convert UK pounds to US dollars. If you Google "kanta no. 1 price" you get a WhatHiFi article that indicates they will be £7000. If so, that's more than twice what I paid for my 936's. Can a copper ring, a ... |
