I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
toetap, Fortunately (for those of us who are in the market for a new class D), ric is not governed by the budget constraints of manufacturers who are not interested in going the extra mile, but will spend said monies on a prettier face plate. Ill ... 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
Just an FYI, I was reading my Audio Alchemy manuals last night, Turns out it is not 175 wpc, but 125 @ 8ohms and 200 @ 4 ohms. No wonder the 350wpc PSA M700s sounded significantly beefier.Now, if I could just get an update on delivery of my EVS 12... 
Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp
audiorustyIm envious. I always lusted for A-S kit, but was always out of my budget. Perhaps the closest I got was when I had Accoustats with their OTL amps. Did a few modes to the boards + chips and cryoed NOS tubes. Even if the sound was comparab...

erikgood luck with trying to shut him up. Clearly he doesn't get the message? 
Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp
I began my transition from rca to diff balanced kit 2 decades ago.Same nonsense appears here as back  then (that they are ONLY for long runs) I have heard differences between 0.5m and 1.0m XLRsDif balanced is basically 2 totally independent channe... 
Power conditioners under $1000?
I personally cannot recommend ol PS Audio . I had a Premier Power Plant which was some 8 years old when I sent it back for repairs. They basically gutted it and returned (very generous cost at the time) but I still had issues. Hopefully the newer ...

My definition of cool- neutral- warm is based on several factors, like whether the singer, hollow body guitar, cymbals, piano keys/board... sound naturalSome systems get the leading edge of the pluck, but lack the resonance inside the hollow body ...

ricevs, et al,I too am a believer that all cables sound best when off the floor. Years ago I demonstrated this in a friends system (all top BAT, CEC spinner with MSB dac AND several exotic TTs with multiple arms, and $5K+ cartridges). His speakers...

What is wrong with a sub?
first 2 subs are a lot better. I have 2 and have experimented running just one. No comparison  The Achilles Heel  is when come with a built in plate amp with volume control and cross over point. Most of these are crude and cheapEmerald Physics mak... 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
George hi fi says Yes expensive also but they are the new GaN Class-D technology, stuffed inside a stupid tube housing, to keep the tube guys happy.This is hilarious. You must live in an all grey worldWhile it's true that the tubes do nothing, the...

Ralph, not meant to be insulting, but couldn't you sell your products for a lot less? Nothing there that's cutting edge, though I do understand that highest quality parts cost significantly moreAnd wouldn't the GaN input buffers need to be a lot m...
