| Class D = Trash? Hi Tim,Thank you very much for your understanding the tip on the Abletec power amp modules. Unfortunately, I think all modules being offered by Abletec has built-in SMPS and there is not really a way to bypass/separate the SMPS from the amp secti... | |
| Class D = Trash? Tim,I wanted to add that though I have not have a chance to listen to one yet! But I believe the D-sonic amp is an great amp from what I have read. And ice on the cake is the price especially.Henry | |
| Class D = Trash? Hi Tim, ThanksI apologize for what I wrote was not very clear. So let me rephrase and make it a bit more clear. You’re right that there is not a direct relationship between good bass and an analog power supply, which makes sense, after all power s... | |
| Class D = Trash? Erik,I believe Krell FPB does not have a fully regulated power supply from front to back. The KRS series does and maybe the Krell master reference as well. Though to my belief that power supply is one fundamental aspect of amplifier design, but ... | |
| Class D = Trash? Todd, Thank you. But I admit my knowledge is very limited actually compared to some of the GODS of amplifier designers such as Nelson Pass, John Curl and quite a few other designers. I am a rookie compare to these amplifier designers. I just kn... | |
| Class D = Trash? Tim, Thank you.I think a bit more valid conclusion as to which type of power supply is better is to have the same amp with SMPS and then the same amp with analog power supply given EVERYTHING else is equal. I emphasize everything is because as you... | |
| Class D = Trash? "What I can say with confidence is that an analog power supply in class D does give you that full sound that class a/b amps posses."phd, I could'n agree more, but I would add AND THEN SOME...Or a lot more :-).Disclosure: I am a manufacturer using... | |
| Class D Technology Thanks Dave, Now back to the original questions. So I get the obvious strengths of Class D. Efficiency, power output & running cool which allows for small form factors. I also understand the weaknesses somewhat. 1. Non-linear & lots of di... | |
| Class D Technology i Wonder which class D power module PS is using in the Stellar monos? I wouldthink they'd be sharp enough to audition the newer Abletec and Pascal modules andcompare them to the Ice and Hypex to use the best performer. Anyone know? Guido?Tha... | |
| Seeking thoughts on Apogee Caliber Ribbon speakers Bombay,I just wanted to add it is amazing we both have the same thought. For 15 years, I thought to myself that if without the Apogees, God forbid, the Soundlabs are probably the Planar for me as well. I began to have that thought after hearing a ... | |
| Seeking thoughts on Apogee Caliber Ribbon speakers Omsed, Very interesting comments about the Apogee BASS because for me, BASS, along with many other attributes of the Apogees which got me hook to Planar sound, and I'm afraid that is forever. And oh yeah! What Bombay said exactly!!! :-) Bombay, ho... | |

| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Audiozen,Thanks for the interest. Yes 8k input impedance is low but not too terrible low. One has to be a bit judicious in choosing the preamp. Of course, most if not all solid state preamps will drive the amp fine. The only exception is those wit... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Audiozen,All is good now. Thank you all who alert me to the website problem. | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? derailing the original thread was certainly not my intention. Audiozen, I still used the B&O modules. Thanks again for who alert me on the H2O website problem. |
