Hypex Ncore NC400

OP here.

At the other end of the efficiency range, I have 81dB speakers and, while there is plenty of power, I can't help but wonder what bridged amps would do.

I assembled the mono amps with one SMPS/NC400 in each stereo case so there is provision for adding a second. Just thought I'd wait for someone else to do this and comment before I spent the other $1300.

And, as far as tube "sound" is concerned, I use a Metric Halo LIO-8 processor and find that the NCore neutrality (IMO) works well with the "Modern California Tube" character setting. Hey, DSP tone controls!

So, no-one has made/heard bridged NC400s?

Simon,

I see the specs in stereo mode but I could not find any specs in monoblock mode for the Spectron.

Since you claim distortion reduction (and indeed as I have said I have heard the improvement) I am curious what are the THD or IMD values in monoblock mode?

A poster on Audiocircle, Playtheblues, is about to receive a pair of bridged nCores that he had assembled on the thread I left you above.

Thanks, I have been following that thread closely for a while now.

Problem is solved as I am buying a pair of amps using the NC1200 modules.

Can't wait!

Question for Nsirkin, Hi my name is MrAcoustat, i was at a friend's home a few weeks ago and for the FIRST time heard a class D amplifier that i liked, it was a Hypex stereo amp with NC-400 & SMPS-600, now i have the intention of having mono blocks built for myself, my speakers are also 81db Acoustat 1+1s [IMG]http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz61/MrAcoustat/KeepItSimple1000X750.jpg[/IMG]i want wood chassis just like the Leviathan Red Dragon i know that it will cost more but i don't care because i not only like good sound i also like good looking units, please let me know if for you the NC-1200 & SMPS-1200 was worth the extra cost Thank You. mracoustat@videotron.ca
