| RMS Power? bdp24 12-12-2018: Al, as you can’t attend any of Roger’s presentations, have you watched the two videos on You Tube of his seminars at The Burning Amp Festival? His and Nelson Pass’, that is. Great stuff! It's a pleasure to own products by bot... | |
| RMS Power? Thanks for the gracious post, Roger. I wish we were sitting around a table drinking and having more fun with this. These topics are interesting to discuss, we all learn from those who can best express their ideas calmly and rationally. I w... | |
| RMS Power? Ramtubes 12-10-2018:We still have to agree on one thing. The heating watts of a 100 watt amplifier is 100 watts. It is measured by V rms sq/R load.Yes, of course. As I said earlier:Almarg 12-10-2018: I certainly recognize that the heating which oc... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? From page 20 of the manual, referring to the single digital output of the PreMate and PreMate+:This is the same signal as provided on the Main Speakers analog output. It carries the corrected audio signal for the speakers, optionally with limit fi... | |
| RMS Power? Al, who you appear to agree with. thinks 141 watts is the average power of 200 watts peak. He has said so. No, I have not said that. I have said that 141 watts is the RMS value of a sinusoidal power waveform having a peak of 200 watts. "RMS" in th... | |
| RMS Power? That would be instaneous power or instaneous heating, agreed? Yes. The RMS ... defines its DC heating value. Yes. The RMS also defines how power varies as a function of time ...Well, if the waveshape is known, for example if it is known to be a si... | |
| RMS Power? Hi Roger,I haven't read any of the Wikipedia article besides the paragraph Kijanki quoted in his post, and I don't consider whatever flaws the article may have to be relevant to Kijanki's point about terminology, especially given the further expla... | |
| RMS Power? Hi Roger,I found the Wikipedia page from which Kijanki quoted (the link opens near the paragraph he quoted):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_power#Continuous_power_and_%22RMS_power%22 RMS Power doesn’t vary as a function of time, instaneous pow... | |
| RMS Power? Hi Roger,All of us, certainly including Kijanki who is very knowledgeable technically, completely understand and are in complete agreement about the technical aspects of what is being discussed, i.e., the "basic electronics" and the math you refer... | |
| RMS Power? Hi Roger,To use your example of 28.28 volts RMS into 8 ohms, corresponding to 100 watts, the corresponding RMS current is 28.28/8 = 3.54 amps.Assuming a sine wave, the peak voltage is 28.28 x 1.414 = about 40 volts.The corresponding peak current i... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Hi Steve,As usual Andrew (Drewan77) provides great answers, with which I agree completely.I too purchased the M23 as part of the $745 DEQX "Reference Calibration Kit." Mainly out of curiosity I subsequently requested a calibration file correspondi... | |
| Difference between " AES " and " RMS " power of a driver. what is the actual wattage of a driver?? I'm not sure how to interpret this question. The actual wattage of a driver is the amount of power that is supplied to it. But if what you are asking is what is the maximum power handling capability of a... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. What would your phono stage be, hopefully I can find it’s output impedance ....George, I was wondering the same thing, so I took a look at Krelldreams’ posts earlier in the thread and it appears he is presently using a Schiit Mani phono stage (op-... | |
| Difference between " AES " and " RMS " power of a driver. "AES power" is based on a standard issued by the Audio Engineering Society for characterizing various parameters of speaker drivers, including power handling capability. Here is a link to the first few pages of the standard (there is a charge for ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Ramtubes 12-6-2018 ...BTW Saul told me that around the shop they firmly preferred a pair of Mono 8s to the famous Model 9. That’s interesting to hear, Roger. Although to be precise I’m pretty certain that the 8 and 8B were both single-chassis ster... |
