Well, we just had to pay (on top of our usual monthly payments) an add-on bill of 1250 euro. Half our vacation budget so, we couldn't travel in the end. I have a pretty shitty job (well, I've seen much worse, but I'm still in the "lower income" part of the population) and everything has become much more expensive. Food, electricity, gas... I'm not complaining (yet), we are a double-income-no-kids house, it could be worse, but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezin' Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 That's outrageous! How much more is that than typical bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostfather Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) I'm sold on the class D amps made by Orchard Audio, which use Gallium nitride transistors. The monoblock amps drive my LaScala clones using XLR inputs from an Orchard Audio streamer (using PCM1794A dacs) and Tidal. They also make stereo amps, all very budget friendly, and very clean sound. I find the sound better than the NAD integrated amp with Hypex UcD outputs that I was using, but it's also a class D amp.

Schu Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Class D... With Heritage speakers and KLF speakers I've operated Bel Canto Monoblocks, Wyred4Sound Monoblocks, Pioneer ICE and D3, NAD and ATI Multi channel mono's... they ALL have a similar characteristic... that of very clean, very very fast transient response, very strong LF, flat but well defined image and at times, some granularity. For Home Theater and on the LF of a muti-amp 2 channel, I would run no other topology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
