Should try the Dayton DTA-Pro. As with all the class D amplification I have had, it does need to be on for a day or two to settle down.
It was eye-opening how bad some of these sounded right out of the box. The first couple of times I thought I had a bad unit. Took only a few minutes for them to get right though IME. Maybe still better after a day or two but those improvements were more subtle.

People swear by those! Definitely on my list.

I do exactly the same thing with my C504
Thanks to your location info, I looked up Beaucaire and ended up learning a lot about the religious wars in the South of France during the Medieval period! BTW, on some forums I use a picture of the Pont du Gard as my avatar.
Also, people, please don't mangle your F3s! They're nearly perfect as is.

Do you know which chip they use? I've a mind to buy one and put it up against my TPA3250 which is a current favorite.
NVM, just found their (impressive and comprehensive) spec sheet. " At the heart of the Bantam Gold is the ADAU1592 audio amplification chip from Analog Devices. This IC generates a differential PDM pulse train from the analog input. "

Someone else grabbed them, looks like.

PS to the OP: I vote for Forte IIIs with natural-colored grilles to complement your attractive room.
Or Zu Audio speakers with the hemlock wood to complement your attractive panelling.

In addition to cables, all amps, preamps, cd players, DACS sound the same.
Hey! You forgot to include speakers!

Beautiful setup and you appear to have concealed the cables to your television, for which I tip my hat sir!

On another site there's a thread entitled "How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?"
You may find it instructive, and/or amusing. Site won't let me add the link, sorry, but you can search the text string.

Note that the veneer orientation is consistent on front and sides. That's the right way to do it.

Good news and I hope it points to a more practical direction for the magazine. It is nice to read the some articles about ultra high end exotics, but for too long that has instead been the primary focus. More gear that average consumer can actually buy is something that has been a steady demand coming from numerous readers on the letters page.
Agreed, and it would also be enjoyable to read the occasional comparison test among peer equipment. Not so much with an eye toward choosing winners and losers but perhaps describing differences; pros & cons of each. You wouldn't know it from reading most reviews, but most pieces really do have pluses and minuses.

Wouldn't a simple rule clear up most, if not all, listings on the Garage Sale section?
That would be one good idea, and another might be to prohibit FS ads from people who just joined the forum.

Hell, in that photo it almost looks like a single DIN unit!
It does have a sub level control, so you could turn that up for bass, and then the 'tone' control to the right for treble....seems legit...
-
A single tone control? I haven't seen that since I was a little kid, and it was on an old AM car radio.
-
Pretty stunning. Saving my pennies now.

Those beautiful retro grilles alone are worth the price of admission.

If you live within a hundred miles of me, you need to sell your Forte IIIs, possibly at a substantial loss. Sorry to be the one to break the bad news...your wife is right... PM me for further details....
