| Class D Here are some interesting developments....1. Class D audio (under the Premium Audio name) will soon be releasing their "baby" GaN amp.......stereo, 150 watts a channel into 8 ohms, balanced and unbalanced inputs for a mere $699. 100K input impeda... | |
| Class D Please don't be stupid. It is stupid to respond to George.....he is a rock....he will never move from his position.....and he has to have the last word.......so it will always go on and on and on. Don't be stupid....he does not want to learn....... | |
| Class D Douglas,I hope this tease of yours dies quickly.......What is this mysterious class D amp that you love? Is your mouth tied shut till the review? he he....If you absolutely cannot tell us more.....then when is the review going to be published? | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? You say there is nothing wrong with it and at the same time you say there is a "massive improvement" when you bypass it. You cannot have it both ways. Every op amp....every regulator......every everything....has a sound. So all buffers, etc wi... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? "I don't get why Purifi thought this thing sounded good enough to release to the public" What are you talking about? You are not hearing a Purifi.....you are hearing a Purifi with a Hypex buffer put together by VTV.....The Purifi can use any buf... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I talked to Warren at VTV last week and he told me he has the Purifi eval boards coming in. He told me that he would sell it even cheaper than the Hypex boards because he was not going to use any input or output connectors.....just what is on the ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Yes, to echo the above. The input board you have in your VTV is the Hypex eval board that was originally for the NC500 module. Purifi has also made an input buffer board (both stereo and mono) that uses different regulators, op amps, etc. Warren a... | |
| Ceramic fuses Just look up any part and look at the spec sheet that shows you the material used as the lead......that is where the proof is. Pick up almost any component and put a magnet near its lead.....if it is not attracted then it is not steel. There is ... | |
| Ceramic fuses George is so ignorant. There are very, very few components that use "steel" leads.......are you kidding? Almost all transistors, tubes, resistors, capacitors, etc. use copper leads. There are a few rare op amps that use steel leads and some in... | |
| High end Class D amps? A catastrophic event ..he he... is when you win the super duper lotto. That is about the same odds as a wooden backed amp has catching fire. When have you heard of an amp that caught on fire? (I have read about 2 in over 50 years....and no bodie... | |
| High end Class D amps? Usually statements like these are made by people who do not like tweaking. So they make something silly up. The power supply in that amp is way away from the back panel. The power supply (a switching one) is completely self protecting......it s... | |
| High end Class D amps? "Real Audiophiles?" Who is to judge that? Audio is every man for himself. There is no criteria for who has the best sound, or how to achieve it.....as it is all subjective.......the opposite of drag racing.....where most everything is known by ... | |
| High end Class D amps? There is no perfect "Class". All amps sound different....no matter what the class of amplification is. All classes are imperfect. All need tweaking. If this were not true then we would be all using 1977 Pioneer receivers. Everything has gotten... | |
| High end Class D amps? If all you have heard is a stock Bel Canto Ref 600.....then you have no idea how good the latest class D is. The Ref 600s use a stock Hypex power supply, a stock Hypex NC500 module and an input buffer that is an integrated circuit powered by two t... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Maybe I should have put "nickname" in quotes....I was just letting you know that the Purifi module and the Eigentakt module are one in the same. You notice the name of this thread.....does not say Eigentakt. No biggie.What is important and that mo... |
