| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Two power amplifiers that have the same power supply voltage may not have the same output current. It should say that 2 amps with the same power supply voltage may not be able to deliver the same amount of current Hm ... are these two statem... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? It is also possible that you might prefer tube amp. I do too, I don't have one because I would want a great one and that is big expenses. Yes, it all comes down to cost ... if only I have a million lying around lols | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Some of those German audiophiles and a few others in their quest for the ///'neutral'/// sound get the sound that is sterile and lacks many colors and nuances of the original. You just used the word "neutral". | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Your typical amplifier outputs volts It may be a bit oversimplification. Two power amplifiers that have the same power supply voltage may not have the same output current. Ultimately it's neither the voltage or current, but the overall design... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Incorrect part was assuming that it might not have one. That is impossible, at least from my point of view. That is nit-picking. If you're right then there should not be a word "neutrality" in the English language since there is nothing in the... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Current is only of import when speakers dip to low impedance or have challenging phase angles, or both. Otherwise it is of little consequence. There are so many wrong's in this statement. | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Also a read from Pass Labs First Watt will help. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? even though you posed it incorrectly What does it mean? I thought you said an amp should have a "personality"? What is it that not "correct"? | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Andy, could you learn to read English? Not your English. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? viridian,could you translate your post to English? | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Exactly how do you determine neutrality? Are you using recordings where you were present in the studio when they were recorded? Or is neutrality a code word that justifies a purchasing decision?Im not real bright but always thought it was an obj... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? One amp to trump them all? Which amp you may have in mind? | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Andy, are you addressing the Q of the OP or changing the topic? I think the OP wants to know why current is more important than "watt", but I think what he really wants to ask is why two amplifiers may have the same "wattage" rating but one amp... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? As an analogy using cars, watt is like a car speed, whereas slew rate is car acceleration. Let's say you have two car: a good old American muscle car and a Ferrari. Both cars may be able to do 150mph, but the Ferrari will accelerate to 150mph mu... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? The late Charles Hansen used to say that an amplifier is basically a power supply design in which the supply is being modulated by an external musical signal. Wattage measurement is a static number that has no "time" variable, but in music, timin... |
