Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: The mystery of AmpX in Playback Listening  6 Replies 
Okay, I decided bite a bullet and go to an experiment. I begin to plan how to build a version of AmpX. It will be an amplifier but it will be based upon different concept. The concept is that amplified signal is not a direct reflection of the source,...

This is a very good question and I wish I know the answer. A common logic would suggest that if one Dac is better than other than it should have better options to propel me, as a listener, to whatever destination I am trying to go. However, it se...

I have revision 2 of my ampX assembled and running. It certainly needs more time to break in but from what I observe prelimitary result is not good. As I said before it is not just an amplifier, and a very specific amplifier topology, but rather ampl...

Lots of nice talk about the listening experience(s), Romy, but you still say you want to continue to analyse and understand what's going on. Are you trying other quasi-complementary amps for comparisons? When I shopped for powerful amps I found that ...

Yup. That makes sense to me. Sure, we don't understand ML2 effect well enough to draw "parallels" between AmpX and ML2. Just hoping any own-sound it turns out to be is tolerable long term. Meanwhile, Baby/Bath Water, we try not to get them confused.....

We presume that in order to get "It” we should hear specific sounds. If the sound by a playback is just a decoded surrogate non-live surrogate sound, then it is possible that in order to get "It” we need not the original sounds but very specifical...

I too was extremely reluctant to get a MAC. (luckily you don't really need to touch it after installation). You could use the uBacch VST plugin on any OS if you play through a DAW. The effect is between 10-20% of the real thing - but it serves to pro...
