I heard it second-hand from Roger Modjeski (who said he didn’t completely agree with Tim P on that subject)Because Roger knows it’s more than "just that", like I last posted.

Again the topic of weight of amps
I see this has been covered but not recently.
I have had a few amps in the 100+ pound range.
I liked them enormously but I am in a small space and am tired of dealing with these behemoths when I need to move them around and the real estate they take up. They were all wonderful in their way and I would like to have kept them but for their immobility. But can one find true love after such heavy weights with a feather weight 55 pounder?
Have technological advances in 2019 made such a thing possible? I had a pass 350.8 which I loved but you can't keep a Stonehenge rock in an apartment living room.

Tim deParavicini of EAR-Yoshino says he can predict the bass sound an amplifier produces by looking at the size of it’s transformers.That’s a bit of a furphy, there’s much more to it than just that, he not giving the whole story. Feedback, output impedance, current ability, and damping factor, are parameters that effect bass and it’s control. Cheers George |
roxy1927 If you’ve got speakers that can be bi-amped a Schiit Aegir 20w Class-A on the mids and highs and a Schiit Vidar for the bass, both amps are proper linear solid state with linear power supplies, not big (about the size of a shoe box each) or heavy or expensive. $1500 for both. You’d have to use a passive like the $49 Schiit SYS on the input of the Vidar to equal both amps gain, as it’s higher gain at 22db than the Aegir at 12db. Then your active preamp volume control would be the master and drive both the SYS and the Aegir inputs. https://www.schiit.com/products/aegir https://www.schiit.com/products/vidar Cheers George |
