| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? Best class D I have heard is Lyngdorf. Not saying much as I haven’t heard a lot of class D but 5 or 6 but no “high end” class d. The Lyngdorf sounds the best out of the bunch I’ve heard without room correction, but with room correction it makes a ... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range Regarding the rogue Sphinx…. I haven’t heard the V.3 which very well could be a totally different animal, but had the V.1 for a very short time. Did not care for it at all. | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range @bgross ”Find a vintage Sansui, AU-9500... best integrated I've heard at the $1500 price point. ” For speakers that aren’t real hard to drive I totally agree! Wonderful sounding unit and build like brick s..t house. Seems you get a lot for ... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong @inna , “Any vintage speakers that sound as good overall as, say, JM Labs Grand Utopia ?” ohh hell no! IMHO of course lol. My dream speaker when they promote me to head cheese or I win the lottery. | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER Low hiss, can you hear it from your seat? If not… not a problem. Even if does, does it go away at low volume? Tube stuff is never gonna be DEAD quiet IME. | |

| New Speaker advice Not sure where you are located but there are a pair of Focal Electra 1027BE for under your budget in the on Audiogon. They are in Chicago and have been on there a few weeks now. I’ve been eying them but can’t don’t the time to take 3 hour drive ea... | |
| speakers for small room On the particular Lyngdorf unit if you play vinyl just be aware is digitizes everything. If you can get over that it sounds awesome, sounds like vinyl should. | |
| speakers for small room I would definitely consider using dsp room correction. My results are night and day and I’ve tried to do room treatments in the past. Floor standers, room correction and at least one sub would be my suggestion. IMO Lyngdorf RP is the cats meow. I ... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER Try it. Technically it should be better I guess. IME it’s not better. No meat on the bones.! Some music sounds good. Just my experience. | |
| Full range stand mounted speakers The Triton 1R in fact pretty damn close to full range. Not gonna find any standmount that can do bass like those or even close! Sub would work but I found the integration of the built in subs of my Triton 1s to be pretty seamless although I moved ... | |
