| Most Paid for Vinyl LP I have an album that I would HATE to have to buy. 1964 Beatles Hard Days Night. Sealed. Signed by all 4 Beatles. Shrink-wrapped after signing. Test pressing 2/10. I have it in a safety deposit box. Gifted to my mother at Columbia Records pressing ... | |
| stereo review magazine I’m amazed by the shear number of posts who didn’t understand Stereo Review magazine. SMH | |
| Cartridge Cantilever - Nano-Tube Technology The CFN-T is old technology. The 1979 Nagatron 360CF used graphite (source of graphene!) to produce its cantilever! Very thin. Very strong and stiff!! I have one, and can attest to its very unique properties and sound!! It’s very lush, full, artic... | |
| Crossover point of 5.25” vs 6.5” in two way bookshelf For many years it’s been known that crossover in the 2000 Hz range can be very audible. Pushing above that to around 3000 Hz can be smoother, more “ideal”. Guessing also that the 6.5” driver is smoother out to 4 kHz than the 5-1/4” driver, and can... | |
| A life sentence!!! For me, it would be everything I own! It performs as 1 seamless entity. | |
| Please explain mono Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the purpose of mono in today’s day and age and with about anything available in stereo. I ask this because i feel that I’m missing something and may be able to learn something. Thanks I own over 400 mo... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? Probably 95% of the time I listen to both sides of an album. The other 5% I realize I’m really not in the mood for side 1, much less side 2. I only have 1 “modern” reissue, out of 5,000+ vinyl albums. It’s Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest hits that I bou... | |
| My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s @atmasphere Output capacitance of a class D isn't a thing as you say, but output capacitance of the output devices is. Its nice to have that low for better switching. Exactly what I already said. And “low output capacitance for better switc... | |
| My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s @atmasphere To my knowledge only one company anywhere has made the claim that the devices they use are ’audio rated’ as you put it (although I am not sure they used those words, so paraphrasing). The only parameter that might make that so is th... | |
| My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s soix 8,602 posts 04-17-2024 at 01:34am @wolfie62 Not really sure what you’re saying. GaN FETs are clearly different from MOSFETs, and the performance advantages of the former have allowed amp designers to not only more seriously rival t... | |
| My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s Its perfectly valid to compare amps of different classes of operation. Regarding the 'unobtanium' GaNFET, I understand your skepticism- I reacted the same way. The designer claims he uses a device 'designed for audio'. As you know, GaNFET's main... | |
| My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s So much WRONG here! Comparing a Class D to an analog discrete amp, for one! Class D has far fewer parts and switching style supply. And that load of crap about “unobtainium” audio GaN MOSFETS!!! Gees Louis!!! Switching MOSFETS have been used in... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results Don’t you risk overloading your DAC this way?? | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle So much BS in here ^^^^!!!! Spikes under speakers serve to MASS COUPLE the speaker to the mass of the floor. It helps to change the resonant frequencies of the cabinets by adding the mass of the floor to the mass of the cabinets. Whether or not... | |
| GaN Class D amps are already outdated, it's time for GaN on Diamond! The ONLY ADVANTAGE to a synthetic diamond base is heat transfer. But Class D already has that mastered. So where does this get you?? NOWHERE!! Class D audio amplification is NOT the purpose for a diamond substrate!! This is just so incredibly idio... |
