    For God say!! I' ve got every Sheffield Lab record (in my early audiophile era when I bought what everyone 'golden ear' say and not what I my ears said).. no one of those records sounds even in an acceptable sound quality level, all total trash!! I have mentioned this some time ago in this...

    Soundstage Reproduction and Scale: Does Speaker Size Matter?

    despite where the HF is put I never liked the sound of Wilsons and YG acoustics.. sorry fellows..

    Soundstage Reproduction and Scale: Does Speaker Size Matter?

    All of the above mentioned speakers are correctly designed independently of how they sound.. except two: the Wilson XVX and the YG Sonja XV.. WHY?? because the high frequency source is put wrongly quite high on both!! HF are strictly directional and must fit the physical audition's position...

    and everyone of us we have to mind clearly that in recording studios where music is created the most of monitors are powered with class D amps..

    Class A power amps and electricity crisis..

    class D is class more musical from most of consumer 'audiophile' solid state amps.. making a top class solid state amp is complex difficult and costly(see Ypsilon Amplifiers ) .. a well designed class D amp sounds extremely musical dynamic quiet and detailed very close to a top class tube amp...

    USB cable recommended?

    USB cables need to be DATA only cables when used for music transfer .. the carrying power 5v is that limits the length!! my data only USB cable is 5 meters long from server to DAC and locks in ms!! generally speaking USB is not a proper music signal transfer method being a lossy protocol.. a...

    what is the truth??

    of course there are measurable differences.. cables are in fact filters and act as filters in the signal path.. the best cable is no cable.. but that's impossible.. so we must select the highest quality raw materials for the cables no the highest priced cables..

    what is the truth??

    I wish for just only once having experienced that profound effects or that jaw dropping improvements on $0000 vs $00 cables swapping!!

    what is the truth??

    I have made a relative dissertation in the old university days about shrinking the musicians and the instruments to fit inside the speakers to play and sing live in place..

    what is the truth??

    dear audiophile friends.. putting your hand in your heart and speaking "THE TRUTH" to yourself and to all.. how much % improvement a cable or a set of cables costing 15000 (€/$/£) each can give to a system wearing cables costing 400 (€/$/£) each?? we talking about a good system that...

    you are clever enough to understand that this was an excessive and poetic transfer of my #27 post that says: "we humans are the only consciousness beings of the universe and can understand and witness the glory of the creation and the existence universe".. Yes, no other species can read books...

    IMHO every single company has to do that in the effort of saving the planet.. class A sound can easily be mirrored and overstepped.. everyone of us have auditioned great non class A amplifiers..

    Class A power amps and electricity crisis..

    thanks to all for replying.. that was a philosophical and skeptical opinion, not a promotion for Class D amplifiers.. here in EU the price of 1 KW/h has reach 1euro and rising day by day.. of course, anyone of us can arrange his money as he likes.. but it will be very difficult especially for...

    Class A power amps and electricity crisis..

    I am deeply skepticist and wondering about anyone of us owns class 'A' power amps.. Independently of the income or the financial level it has become prohibitive to use such amplifiers.. I believe class 'D' amplification will further rise..
