| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? Go to youtube and type in iiwi reviews. Should be the most recent review. | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? Just saw a new YouTube review of the Laiv Chorus monoblocs at IIWI Reviews, one of my favorite and most trusted YT Reviewers. He describes their sound so much better than I. | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @adamay, I cannot verbalize the differences in pieces of equipment like many here, especially since my usage of these two Ganfet's is in different rooms, with different sources, DAC's and speakers. Also, my expectations in these rooms is not the ... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 , I'm not talking about the more expensive Laiv monoblocs, but the cheaper Chorus versions, coming in at about $2K for both. I read somewhere that when compared, the Chorus monoblocs were not embarrased by the larger ones. Based on my e... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? I’ll have to admit, I’ve recently purchased a single Laiv Class D GanFet stereo amp, and the sound compares favorably to my Alma-Sphere Class D monoblocs when used with fairly efficient speakers. So much so that I am now considering a second one,... | |
| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a +1 for the Naim Nait 50. Also, the Sugden A21SE works very well with my Rogers 15ohms. | |
| About the Matrix Audio ND-1 DAC Lumin also uses the Lundahl transformers in their higher-end DAC's. Must be something to them. | |
| 2026 best deal in audiophile class D stereo amp? I don’t think you need that much power for the Canton’s. I’m getting plenty of spl’s from my Canton QR5 SE’s with 50wpc. If you insist on Class D, grab a couple of the Laiv Chorus GanFets for about $2k. | |
| Belles preamplifiers -- experiences at different levels? I have a Belles Aria preamp, and use it with his Aria monoblocs. The combo is excellent, and I've also tried the pre with other amps, and it holds up well. Also has a nice headphone jack. | |
| Connecting two REL T5 to a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP power amp Use the grounding screw. Works for me. | |
| What one change to your room, system, or setup made the biggest improvement? Going from mp3 to Tidal. Brought tears to my eyes. | |
| Best concert you've attended Richard Thompson John Cale Jim Carroll NRBQ Ramones Allman Brothers George Jones | |
| What blues are you listening to today? I actually saw the John Hiatt/Sonny Landreth combo in Raleigh, NC in 1987. What a show, and Sonny was so good! | |
| What blues are you listening to today? Watermelon Slim Sugar Pie DeSantos | |
| Passive preamp Pretty happy with my Townsend Allegri plus AVC passive preamp. I have found it works best if the power amp has at least 24-26db (or greater) gain. I was worried the passive preamp would weaken the bass output, but that has not been the case. |
