Dear @atmasphere - I’ve read many of your comments with great interest, even though the technical info usually goes way over my head! I’ve read you say that you’ve built zero feedback amps for decades. Are your latest Class D amp zero feedback also? I am a Vandersteen owner, looking at new possible zero feedback amps (eg, Ayre, SMc (Steve McCormack) custom, Aesthetic Mimas, SimAudio (?), etc). THANKS!

Damping Factor and Overall Negative Feedback.
These specifications are assigned to some amplifiers but what is the difference between them? I had thought they were the same thing. I read the specs on a Karan Acoustics KSA 450 amp today with a high damping factor (?dumping factor?) and no overall negative feedback.

Thank you, @atmasphere ! I wish I had a better understanding of these very technical design issues and parameters for hi-fi. It's all Greek to me, so a layman's explanation is wonderful. |
