Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Most class D amps use switching supplies.....some don’t. There are advantages to both. Switching supplies are smaller, cheaper, more effecient and operate at high frequency so there is no 60hz ripple.. But because they switch at higher frequencies...

Ego fighting is not making your stereo better or making anyone else's stereo better or making people feel better......or be more happy. What makes you happy? When you are happy you radiate happiness.....and you also want others to be happy. Do you...

Here is what is true with high end audio.....practically no one knows very much.....because it is infinite. Not so with hot rodding. All quarter mile top fuelers look the same and perform the same....because the game is so very simple.....it is ho...

I understand that measurements can affect sound.....However, it is just one tool and a very flawed one. You cannot measure resistors, inductors, wire, solder, op amps, connecotrs, damping, shielding, directionality of fuses, fuses, circuit board m...

My goal is to inform people so they can improve their stereo or their lives....that is what I do. The mods I suggested are completely universal. If you did this to a $400 Topping or a $120,000 Gryphon amp the results would be the same....except yo...

People believe and say and do all kinds of things......does not make it true.....same for me. What I state about op amps is my experience.....if Ralph has a different EXPERIENCE then that is fine. The only way to know what is true in this case is ... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
The tweaks I suggest are universal.....every amp in every price category would improve it's sound to the same degree (assuming they are made like the Atmas). this includes the op amps......it does not matter how much feedback or how much gain is b...

So, what you are saying is: Your purpose here is to make sure everyone knows that what I say cannot be trusted"? Wow, that is a very high purpose. Your soul must be celebrating. So, what wares am I peddling with my post? You can test FOR YOURSELF... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Ralph, It is the truth that anything conductive on top of the transformer or in the middle will mess up the sound.....so, you don’t want non magnetic stainless steel, brass or anything like that. You want plastic or wood.....wood being preferable... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Great to see the insides...... So, one thing that would make it sound more open sounding is to remove the steel plate over the transformer and removed the steel bolt. Then you raise the transformer off the chassis and place it on a one half inch ...

pstores, Have you heard (in your system) the new Peachtree GaN 400 or are you referring to an older Peachtree amp?  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
So, who is going to be the first to pop the hood and show us the engine.....with close ups?  Show us the meat!  he he.    
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
What feeds your minidsp flex? What DAC, cable to preamp and preamp were you using with the M6S prx? And what was your source before? usb from something? BTW, if you remove the toslink output connectors from the Minidsp flex or at least remove the... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Cool little toy.  The Puritan is so low in noise that it won't even measure on that thing......but a single measurement does not mean that much by itself.  I am going to change the outlets and inlet and wire on my friends Puritan on Wed. because p... 
Amp Internal Wire
Theories are nice.....but the only way to know what something does audibly....is to listen.  All wires sound different.....all strandings sound different, all insulation sounds different, all wires (single strand or multistarnd) are directional (...
