| Best multi-purpose subwoofer I have had 5 different SVS subs, none of which are still here. I had one of very expensive Paradigm subs which was too boomy for me, so it's gone. The room I am in is 30x30 with an 18 foot high vaulted ceiling, a mezzanine level overhead walk wa... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I threw my hat into the ring here quite a few pages back suggesting initially that the Anthem M1 be considered for audition as my personal experience is that I like far better than my very well received Parasound A51 Halo, which of course is Class... | |
| Gold Note PH10, Bryston BP2, Clear Audio Smart V2 If your phono stage didn't show any changes from capacitance changes on the input interface from the MM Cartridge, I'd say that this is most likely due to either the characteristics of the cartridge being used or the circuitry design of the phono ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Speaking of the intrinsic perceived value of heavy amps with big handles, I can see why people like it. There is nothing like seeing fine CNC machine work with a wonderful anodized finish on metal, especially if it difficult to pick up alone.My A... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? From what I have heard, skip the ICE Module amps.... They are the harsh ones on the upper frequencies. | |
| Gold Note PH10, Bryston BP2, Clear Audio Smart V2 I am not sure that I can agree with the opinion that variable capacitance is not useful or not as useful as the cables being used. I have done many capacitance changes via dip switch settings and it makes a world of difference in performance. I m... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I know it's almost impossible to find a dealer who has the Anthem M1 mono blocks on hand for a demo, but if you were able to find this one in a thousand dealers, take a listen with your favorite known music... I think you'd buy these. They are r... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I had a Parasound Zone Master Class D amp on loan to give an evaluation of. It uses the ICE Power modules and in that particular case, it did sound better after a long warm up period or as Parasound told me at least a 200 hour break in period. A... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I can tell you why my amps are Always turned off after each use:Lightning strikes! I turn them off by unplugging from the wall. At $7K its not worth risking damage. I lost my entire sound system/ TV/ Digital readout on my Bridgeport mill, and m... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? As far as warm up is concerned, I cannot hear any differences in a cold start up vs. the amp having been on for 4 hours... other than Bourbon has taken over and everything in the room is just better. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Arctikdeth, Perhaps you should audition some other D amps before deciding its lacking. Have you listened to the Anthem M1's? As WSHS31a stated, pros seem to have a wide range of experience in this equipment.My brother is a long time Audio/Video ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? As Noble 100 stated in his experience with a quality Class D amp, I fully concur; its the lack of noise, extremely low distortion and amazing detail that struck me right off. And since I am such a 'green eco' type, I don't feel guilty with runnin... | |
| Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k Before you buy anything, try to listen to a pair of Bryston Signature series Model T speakers, simply amazing. I have a pair I ended up buying in Santose Rosewood, they are gorgeous and make the room sound like a live concert. The best bass I ha... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I had been using a Parasound A51 A/AB amp which has been a very nice amplifier. However I was very interested in Class D amps and was considering picking up something in this area as I love the idea of low energy consumption when at idle, higher ... | |
| Turntables For what it’s worth, I have a vintage Marantz 6300 which was one of the better TT’s offered in the mid 70’s. I always thought it was the cats ass with my Audio Technica AT15ss mm which was the best money could buy back then. I installed a NOS AT15... |
