To me the best sounding amp doesn't have a sound.

Correct, that why I like passive preamps also, if correctly implemented, as they have no sound. Listen to many Class-D’s they have great bass great lower mids, but "something thins out" and looses it dimensionality in the upper mids and highs, like a separate amps has been grafted in suddenly. This is what I mean they when I say they (Class-D) don’t sound like the A or A/B classics amps, effortless (invisible) from top to bottom without character change at all. Cheers George |
George, The difference between me and you is I understand feedback, you do not. One of the amplifiers you previously went gaga about Soulution, uses a ton of feedback. You just don't know what you are talking about. So back the question, how much of the phase shift in the Technics is from the filters, and how much from intentional correction in software? ... inquiring minds want to know. |
Well, yes good actives do impress, but I bet my bottom dollar those same active speakers can sound better even again, if they were Class-D on the bottom still, but a nice Class-A or A/B linear on the mids and tops or even the Technics SE-R1 then it won’t be hungry for current "if" the speakers are very demanding with low impedances. The best I’ve heard Class-D was with BelCanto Ref 600m mono blocks, but into a very easy load 2way speaker with Raven 4ohm benign ribbon tweeter, so much did I like it I bought the same Hypex NC500 modules and use the direct with no buffers and in my second easy loaded system, as you have also. But they don’t stand a chance in my main ESL based system up against this amp, which BTW has much less wattage!!! . https://ibb.co/qn6Wnms https://ibb.co/Qncvkkf Cheers George |
