| Minimum Amp power for spkr performance There are many reference tables and manufacturer recommendations but indeed I've realized that all sencitivity or efficiency ratings of all high-end speakers des not go bellow 87dB/W/m and decided to check-by-comparison. That brings me to the thou... | |
| Yet another call for more Sale catagories... There is an amp section and pre-amp section but no fir integrated ones... | |
| What DAC will work well with my Rega Planet ov ? Don't try to make your life harder. After-DAC filtering of a signal is realy what counts in digital gear and spending $1k for it will be an "overkill".Get an active filter Musical Fidelity X-10 for near $100 used and spear the rest for amp preamp ... | |
| Is there an advantage to more tubes in an amp? A knowlagable is clueless indeed. Good thing mentioned here about distortion that is the main factor in sonic signature of tube. And it's so close to the real-time live accoustics. | |
| Classic preamp for Plinius SA-102: need advise It means that there is no output transformer or capacitor that separates DC-component out of the signal.There are two devices that separate DC off the signal: transformer and capacitor. Preamps can also be as SA102 direct-coupled.The risk of havin... | |
| Passive parts: Do they make a difference ? Sean,It's realy realy great that we do have that luxury of choice of elements here. Not often larger circuit complexity means longer signal path and proper design is valuable even with expencive parts since someday they will deplete and won't perf... | |

| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list OOPS!Had anyone mentioned Ry Cooder "Jazz" on german WB vinyl? | |
| Davis' "On the Corner" Why stop on Bitches Brew there are plenty more and they're so great:Decoy, Aura, Siesta, Amandla, Tutu, DoBop. | |
| Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor? I tend to agree with Sean and that's why always prefere local pickups of used components. | |
| Bryston Vs Classe Amthanh,Rating cannot be class AB. Class AB is a type of amplifier operation that works-off certain margin of neccessary power in class A than switches to class B whenever speaker impedance falls bellow certain point as designed by circuitry to de... | |
| Bryston Vs Classe If you love Dynaudio you'll IMO love Bryston much better than Classe. Brystons are more revealing and detailed. More conservatively rated even than Classe. I heard Classe 350 monos and never felt that they have a true power rating. Even less power... | |
| Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor? business here stays on the first place to knock off the used product lovers.once the product sold new there is a need to sell another new and care less about its used price. | |
