Confused by ICE applications


I've started to get interested in the switch-mode power supplies, but I'm confused by how the various amplifier makers use them. My current investigation is into the B&O ICE modules and Jeff Rowland amps.

From what I can see on the ICE web page, they only sell complete amplifier modules. If that's so, what does JRDG (or Bel Canto) do with them? I'd thought that ICE would supply the power supply and the output stage was then up to the end user...

Amps with high damping factors can cause a reduction in perceived bass in speakers with limited low frequency capability. For example, when the midrange driver is also handling the lower frequencies.

The was an article at 6 Moons a while back discussing the optimum damping factor varying by speaker design.
