hi, i experience harsh highs in my rig when playing LPs ... My set up being the technics 1200G with nagaoka MP500 Bryston Bp17 phono, MC275 and JBL4425... i suspect the phono card to be responsible for this harshness as the other components can hardly be suspected for it, and i don t have this...

Arcam and jbl synthesis will be selling new class G amplifiers in juanuary...has anyone heard a class G amp? Is it any good?

Hi Have you checked the price of the new 5000 series at ML? An integrated with DAC and PHONO, a patented preamp section, and al and all for 8500 $?!!! What is going on ?

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding amplifiers: I bought some months ago a Crown CDI drivecore 4 300 amplifier. I wanted this amp for two reasons: its power in order to move the 15" of my JBLs, and also because this amp integrate a DSP, capable of room correction, active bi amping...

Have anyone heard or came across these new amps from Crown ? they seem interesting as on top of the so called Drivecore chip, there is DSP in it connected to audioarchitect, and for a reasonnable price.... https://www.crownaudio.com/en/product_families/cdi-drivecore-series-amps They haven't...

Hi everyone, the obvious candidate would be the ortophon 2M black, but I am reading here and there that it is very detailled(no my particular cup of tea) and lack some definition in the bass (my cup of tea)... so any advice knowing that - it will play jazz, reggae, funk, blues (no classical...

I have been lent this amp for a week , just got it this morning. First impression is: at low level it is fine from bottom to highs, but at relatively high volume the latters become harsh.... It makes my compressions shouting. I know it runs class A for the first 8W but when i say "at low...

I recently bought a SMSL M8 DAC in order to use me miniDSP nanodigi 2x8 that works only digital. the mini DSP is doing equalization, filtering, and volume controle. So i need wo DACS and two amps after it. No preamp. First thing I want to say is my main DAC is the Bryston BDA2 and uppon...

does anyone here have direct experience of this amp and can compare it to say the 23.5 or 27.5 ? Indeed the stereophile review was great, but I also find this comments: "The 532H is obviously built to a price point, made with many cost cutting features. It has power supplies that are about 1/3...

Got my self a new technics 1200 G.... serial number 1151.... I Wonder how many units they sold this year... Had it for 2500€ which seemed a good price... making is remarkable. ... Sounds much better than my vintage thorens 166mkII.... Look stunning I think. ... Envoyé de mon SM-A310F en...

Which one would you pick and why ?

I am sure many of you are faliliar with the unit so must be the right place to ask: We are talking about the second version, so called commemorative (similar with the original, in that there is the variable input sensitivity with "gain control")....which disapeared with mk V, if i am correct...

Hi, I am sur you are all familiar with this Toole video, and know his book by heart… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrpUDuUtxPM I came across it in the recent past but came only to watch it few days ago. The field of psycho acoustic properly run is no bullshit. By using the spinorama to have...

Hi, just want to say I bought this sub for Ht and non accoustically recorded music (ie RNB HIP HOP for me) and it does the job! It brought, to the JBL 4425 at the front, the ompfff they do not really have, being at -3dB at 45 Hz, and interestingly this bass presence has balanced the whole...

I bought a pair of JBL 4425 just before new year's eve and have started to play with them, in term of positioning. They do produce a big sound stage and a fine imaging when correctly placed, with the singer above the speakers in the middle. So far I never managed to get this with the 4430, but...
