I just ordered a VTV Hypex ncore NC502 stereo amp yesterday, I am very curious as to how well their small enclosure will dissipate the heat from 2 500 watt amplifiers running at moderate levels...and then how it handles levels approaching live with 88db sensitivity speakers. I expect that case is going to get too hot to touch for more than a fraction of a second. I can only imagine what two NC502s running in bridged mode so the case has to dissipate the heat from 2 1200 watt amplifiers is going to feel like. I have a strong sense that combination will be thermally limited. If anyone has any direct experience with these two combinations, I'd like very much to hear about it.
My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today
I ordered the amp from Warren with the Purifi module and the Sparkos ss3602 op amp, the latter chosen for its somewhat more relaxed sonic presentation compared to the other op amps that VTV offers. Right out of the box, it strikes me as quite musical, without any noticeable harshness, although few inner details of the music are so far revealed. It is dead quiet, as expected. So with my initial favorable impressions, I will report back after it has 100 hours of run-in to comment on its SQ.
