How to pronounce SACD?
sfseay447 posts10-27-2021 11:25am Sfseay, how do you pronounce your moniker? Is it Ess Eff See Ya? or Sussfuss Eeya? 
$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?
Yea, I normally think of that level of dislike as resulting from someone being personally offended in some way. Someone said their Tektons were better than the speakers those guys have. You don’t think that is personal? What would you do in that s... 
How can a system be judged with highly processed, non acoustic music?
I just listen to the music I like to listen to and see if it sounds good. I try not to overthink things. 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
@verdantaudio Thanks for the recommendations with explanations. +1, excellent thread and thanks for taking the time to do this 
Best phono stage for Lyra Etna SL cartridge?
For such a low impedance cartridge you may want to look at Transimpedance phono stages. These stages are said to mate well with low impedance cartridges. I recently purchased a Sutherland Little Loco to match with my AT ART-9 (12 ohms) and it wo... 
The Music Room
I just bought a pair of monoblocks from TMR.I got them within the week, extremely well packed. I would gladly do business with them again. 
GaN Amp & Speaker Popping Sound At Power On
Nothing from my Mini GaN 5 amp 
Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith
Is the Innuos Sense app supposed to be a Roon alternative? Yes 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
I leant one of the GaN 5 amps to a friend who has a SS amp MSRP in the $5,000 range, and who also has had class D amps in his system. He liked the GaN 5 amp a lot, not as much as his SS amp but said the GaN 5 bass and dynamics were excellent, grai... 
Does anyone have any experience with a Sutherland Little Loco?
I got the Little Loco a couple of weeks ago after speaking with Ron Sutherland on the phone about what cartridges and system I have. It replaced a Pass Labs Aleph Ono (circa 1998). I have used it with an Ortofon Rondo Red (.5mv output, 6 ohms) and... 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
Why don’t you just take the damn 2A3 amp out of the system and see how the GaN 5 sounds running your speakers full range or even just running from 800Hz and up? Would be useful info. 'Cause I'd have to build a passive crossover (I use an active... 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
I received the Mini Gan 5 amps 2 days ago and I’ve got some listening in. After thinking about it I realize that I may not be a good reference for these amps for 2 reasons: 1. I am using them only below 800 Hz (I have a 2A3 amp for the highs) an... 
Stuck point!
@sebrof, what would a recommendation be in Class D-A or A/B in around the $3,000 mark? I don’t, I moved my tube amps into a bigger room :)I actually ordered two of the Class D Mini GaN amps that twoleftears mentioned in the post directly above yo... 
Stuck point!
Tube amps will heat up a small room pretty quickly. A fan will begin to move hot air around and won't provide much relief. I was in a 12' x 12' room for a few years and even a PP EL34 amp made the room hot after a short while. No way around it. 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
I saw the Orchard amps but they are out of stock.
