While Bill Gates is responsible for wasting billions of man-hours fixing Windows, there are a lot more evil profiteers than him that need taking out. Anyone remember the Music Fidelity A1?
How long does Class A have?
Hi Guys/Gals
I have a Sugden A21SE which is a Pure Class A single ended design, I absolutely love this musical amplifier with its strangely plentiful 30wpc, it runs hots as they do, I always enjoy watching the faces of my uninitiated friends when they touch it after I mention they get hot, lol.
But in this modern green era I wonder just how long do Class A amplifiers have before Greta Thunberg gets wind of this inefficient method of creating sound and pisses on the parade?
Thoughts?

The A1 was a very poor design of heat sink, more like a muddy shoe wiper grid. It bent badly on hot days, finned heatsinks need to be vertical not flat. Look at the heat buckle starting in this one, lifting at both ends https://specialistdivision.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/musical-fidelity-a12.jpg?w=710&h=474 Cheers George |
