    Kevin Answers YOUR Hi Fi Questions! Nov 01, 2023
    Show notes

    Here are the questions that were answered: 1. PART 1 - Online there has always been debate on what is the best slipmat material for turntables, in your opinion and does it matter as much as people say it does? PART 2 - Also, why is running A AND B speakers together looked down upon by audiophiles? PART 3 - Oh and why do so many sellers say “works as it should” instead of just “works”? Seems a bit shady to me. 2. …I guess maybe I'd like to hear your thoughts on putting together a system and if you prefer sticking to a brand or color or think it's better to mix and match? 3. I'm a fan of old school receivers, be it two channel or quad, what are any advantages to having an integrated amp over the aforementioned receivers? 4. Do class D amplifiers sound different than class AB amplifiers? If so how are they different? Most of the new stuff is coming with class D amplification. I’m new in this field but I’m debating which of amp I should buy. I like rich bass sound. 5. What are your favorite hot mix vinyl pressings? Let us know in the comments what your take is on these questions and answers. These are Kevin's opinions and you may agree or disagree. Remember, it's all just for fun. Enjoy the podcast!
