Audiophilehi started a thread Stillpoints LPI v2 For my DAC! Wait! What?? in Vibration Isolation Devices

So I was never really satisfied with Mobile Fidelity SACD's but really like their Ultra Disc One-Step Vinyl even though they use the analog master to DSD. Then I'm thinking both are essentially using the DSD format so why so different? Is my...

CPP replied to a thread How to Troubleshoot a High-End Audio Ethernet Netwok in Computer/Digital Audio

My Lumin's are directly connected to my router via cat 6a. No issues at all. I won't go fiber until or ISP buries it and offers it in our neighborhood, which might be in a few years.

Shadowfax replied to a thread Can anyone hear when an Amp switches from Class A to A/B in General Audio Discussion

So my speakers are 92DB, are we saying that listening at about 50 to 70 on the old radio shack meter, I am probably listening to Class A?

Shadowfax replied to a thread Can anyone hear when an Amp switches from Class A to A/B in General Audio Discussion

So it is probably what I thought, you really can't hear it. So next question which I am assuming is Yes....Can it be measured? And then that leads us down the rabbit hole of Specs that we can't hear and are they sometimes useless.

Mike replied to a thread DAC (Re) Search in Computer/Digital Audio

To my ears, the Discrete is on another level. It has a huge big chunk of the sound of the REF and Select. Sonically, it’s very fleshed out, organic and natural. Far far removed from the typical “digital sounds” of many DAC’s. I know this may...

Over the years I have never been able to hear when any previous amps went from a A to A/B. Like anything in this hobby I am sure there will be some who hear night and day differences.

Oddball question I know but have been thinking about it. For example, my Luxman supposedly does about 6watts at Class A before switching to A/B. So I thought sweet, if I am listening at low levels it must be in Class A and why it sounds so good at...

Depending on your budget, Shunyata Venom-X or Alpha V2s. I own a pair of each. I use the Venom-X with my GR-Research XLS Encores and the Alpha V2s with my Harbeths. Both are superb at their respective price points.
