| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo I have no doubt the D'agostino Classic Stereo Amp sounds excellent. The Ken Kessler hi-fi news review compares the sound of the Classic Stereo favorably to (or, in the ballpark of) D'agostino's Momentum amp. I observed the lab report in the hi-... | |
| Class D Technology Guido,Thank you for the detailed answer to my question yesterday. One attribute you stated,Aliveness of "black" background... Also called the sound of the silence between the notes... Or the reproduction of ultra-low level information....reminds m... | |
| Dumb question #643: should speaker cables last a lifetime? Yes, they will last.....unless you start reading audio forums :-) | |
| Class D Technology Guido, in your posts you have indicated the Merrill Veritas are among the Class D amplifiers you enjoyed listening to and that do not display, "any displeasing high frequency artifacts or limitations." I owned the Acoustic Imagery Atsahs, which... | |
| Class D Technology All is good Noble100, I can certainly understand how folks like the Ncore amps so much since, in my system, they did a lot of things right (bass, tone, power, body and lack of noise). However, even with very good and highly regarded amplifiers... | |
| Class D Technology Absolutely, "musicality" is indeed subjective . I am not trying to convince anyone. My intention is to point out the inaccuracy of making broad generalizations about folks here who still like the sound of their Class A or AB amps better than the C... | |
| Class D Technology I'm concerned that comments like yours, and other posters earlier in this thread, may give readers the false impression that switching to class D involves some sacrifices in sound quality. Class D did exactly that at my house. I want to make i... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo You have received lots of informative comments and interesting viewpoints to your question. Having recently gone through an amplifier search/trial I can attest to both the impact an amplifier can have on the sound of one’s system as well as the im... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoff... Hey, didn’t we solve the directional thingie a while back in this thread with Warren Gehl’s input about wire extrusion? "Solve" is such an absolute word in audiophile land where so much is uncharted and unexplainable. Do we need to revis... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... at 8 times the price of standard issue fuses Wolf, you left a zero off of your price comparison factor. I pay about $1.50 for Cooper/Bussmann glass fuses or, if I splurge, about $3 for their ceramic body fuses. Al, I agree with you about the... | |
| Would you sell to someone with no feedback? There are two issues, one is payment (and using Paypal mostly solves that issue) but the other issue, which is just as important to me, is whether the individual can be depended on to deal with you reasonably. People with positive feedback at l... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise knownothing, I have been curious about the Nanotec #308 "Wonderful" Power Cable and the associated SP#777 GREAT speaker cable.I believe they are infused with gold/silver nano liquid similar to Furutech's FP-S035N and S020N power cables. I hav... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise Furutech FP-alpha 3 has been superseded by the FP TCS31... Interesting. The site you reference is a third-party site and not Furutech's own site....where they still show the FP-Alpha 3 as one of their products. FP-Alpha 3 is also still listed ... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise I wouldn't worry about timing - electricity hasn't changed. The wires I use are probably 40 years old!Based on my experience, I would probably consider the Flavor 4 for power amps only, and not for front end gear. The conductors are 12 awg so tw... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise The VH Audio Flavor 4 cord, if constructed with Chris' purpose-built wire, does in fact consist of four conductors. The star-quad configuration consists of connecting the two conductors opposite (not next to) each other for each polarity. For exa... |
