| KEF Blade 2 My friend had Kef Blade 2s and now is using brand new built Apogee Duetta speakers....that were built by someone in England.....they were about $15K delivered. There is only a few parts from an original pair in the build....new ribbons, new frame ... | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? Simply wrap the fuse in copper foil. Some foil has adhesive that is conductive.....perfect stuff....been using it for years. Just once around will do otherwise it won’t fit in the fuse holder. If you use a 20 amp slow blow or larger fuse it alread... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house Another amp in this price range to consider is the Kinki EX-B7. These 250 watt mono blocks are used by Srajen at 6 moons as his reference.....and he has heard the AGD Gran Vivace amps. These amps are $3500 a pair and are made super well. 2.5 me... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house I would not buy this amp without directly comparing to the Atmasphere GaN amp....basically, the same price and the Atmasphere's are mono blocks. Mono amps always sound better than stereo amps. I am sure you could arrange to have both at the same... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS There are two "speed issues". One is the switching frequency (400K to 1.5Meg) and the other is the speed of the output device. GaN transistors are faster and have less overshoot and ringing than mosfets so therefore have less intrinsic dead time. ... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house The manufacturers that make digital input amps that change PCM to PWM call their amps "digital'. Yes, the output stage is class D so it is not digital but the input stage is digital.....so you might call it a half digital/half class D amp. Howev... | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers If you like to improve stuff then you might check out my page on mods to the First Watt amps. The things listed can be done by you or a friend or me.....simple stuff really. Much better sound whether its Sit-3 or J2 or F5 or whatever. First Wat... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I guess Kuribo will have no more to say on this thread because this design is not as good as Purifi (according to him).....so Now we can get back to the actual reality of .....How does it sound? Will be interesting to get the feedback from more l... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Here are the facts that Kuribo/ASR miss. 1. No amp has ever passed straight wire bypass testing. 2. All Purifi amps sound different.....based on their input stages, power supplies, wires used, connectors used, damping ,etc. etc.........yet, they... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Don’t think so. His market is for people who REALLY listen and value how an amp SOUNDS and value his take on harmonic structure of the distortion versus super low standard measurements of distortion. All versions of Purifi and Hypex sound differen... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS All the specs he wants to share now are on his website. He has never published measurment graphs......most companies don’t. If you want more detailed specs than I suggest you contact him directly. http://www.atma-sphere.com/en/classD.html | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS 200 watts into 4 will not drive Apogee speakers, Magnepans to great volume, various Wilson, etc. speakers. There are no ohm taps on a transistor amp. The output impedance on Ralphs amp is low......but the voltage/current it limited. Works the s... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Every single person (including me) is necessary in this universe. No one needs to go away. If you do not like what I say.......remember.....when you point a finger at someone.....3 are pointing back at you.....it is all projection. What I try to p... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Yes, I long for a $3000 a pair amp that sounds as good. If Ralph’s amps were made by Kinki Studio they would be around $2500 the pair. Check out: https://www.kinki-studio.com/ex-b7 The Kinki Studio amps are $3500 a pair and sound really good, tw... | |
| AGD Audio Mk2 review Ralph, Good news. Maybe you can encourage some of the first production customers to comment online. So far, we know nothing of how it compares to things. I would love to recommend the amp but we need some feedback from owners. I know, I am just i... |
