| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Holy crap - 49 amps. Didn't know this one existed https://www.hypex.nl/product/nc2k-oem/79 Here's Apollon's version: https://www.apollonaudio.com/hypex-nc2k-monoblock-amplifier-apollon-audio-nc2kslm/ | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary Might want to try them with an amplifier other than the Primaluna, since the frequency response for that amp has an interesting signature, varying with load: https://www.stereophile.com/content/primaluna-prologue-premium-power-amplifier-measureme... | |
| Interconnect Directionality ahofer, so I assume you don’t actually have any kind of theory and just like flapping your gums. Nothing wrong with theory, but the assertion was there was an *audible* difference in practice. There's a way to support that assertion with evide... | |
| Suggestions for Best Complete System -$1,000 or less??? two options----------------------- Genelec powered monitors: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/8030CPM--genelec-8030c-5-inch-powered-studio-monitor You need XLR to those speakers, as they are for the Pro/studio audience. Try this as a DAC... | |
| Interconnect Directionality Well, not you, specifically. It’s the editorial “we.” 😬 At this point in time I’m just being Devil’s advocate. I have the distinct feeling you do a lot more of that than you let on. | |
| Interconnect Directionality We already know that wire directionality is real and that it’s audible.When, exactly, was that established. And how? | |
| Interconnect Directionality The less evidence there is for a given position, the more bluster you will encounter among its defenders. I have yet to see controlled tests that yield a strictly audible difference between heavy gauge cables, let alone directionality. Here are ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load the NC1200mp module can output 38 amps. March audio has tested his with sine waves at full rated power for 6 minutes without oscillating, not a situation you are likely to get with music. The Thiels are a horrific load, but I suspect NC1200 mono... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Hypex certainly claims it with the NCore MP series, around which many brands have designed their Class D offerings: https://www.hypex.nl/p/hypex-ncore-mp-amplifiers/ | |
| I need help to select a music streamer I think Stereophile's listening before the Carver match was sighted (ie not only with ears). Only after he matched the amps was some blind testing done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Carver#Amplifier_modeling https://www.bobcarvercorp... | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Evidence is not proof. That’s precisely why one test proves nothing. Preponderance of the evidence requires multiple tests as I be already said at least twice. I agree with this statement entirely. All we can say is that these tests have fail... | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Geoff, I explicitly referred to the possibility that a problem exists *of which we are unaware*.Once again, this semantic discussion has little bearing on the evidence at hand. | |
| I need help to select a music streamer @geoffkait Well, for one thing blind tests are used for a number of reasons, including testing a single component or audio device or tweak. So don’t hand me a whole load of horseman knew her. Heh, interesting spelling variation there. Well, ri... | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Here is the stereophile test I was referring to (It was linked in the head-fi compilation earlier in the thread) - https://www.stereophile.com/features/113/index.htmlIt's one of the only tests in the head-fi compilation (or Archimago's many test... | |
| I need help to select a music streamer Positive results for a single test, on the other hand, are more credible since positive results were obtained in spite of any problems or errors that may have occurred in the test. Most blind tests are simply to hear a difference. So you are d... |
