Mono blocks-High current/low impedance...options?
Hey Vince.......You forgot to tell us what the frequency response looks like @ 2 ohms. The current output you give is the peak value, which means only for a very short transient. All it really says is that with an 80V rail, and a 2 ohm load, it sh... 
H2O S250 vs CIA D-200 vs PS Audio GCA-500
That is probably an accurate, and well stated, assessment. Couldn't have said it better myself.Can I interest you in auditioning some of ours?Sorry.....I could help getting a cheap commercial plug in. I'm trying not to laugh too hard while I am ty... 
New Digital Switching Amplifiers
There are 2 kinds of noise:One that goes out on the speaker leads at the switching frequency. We'll say in the 500 kHz range. (I believe Tripath and Nuforce may be closer to 1 Mhz.) The other is all the crud in the 60-100 Mhz region that will mess... 
Bi-Amping
This one makes no sense:"Input resistance / capacitance: 1V"Check that one, and let us know...........The one about "dynamic power" is just marketing nonsense, written to impress you. The idea is that the peak power, at the top of the waveform, is... 
Nuforce
I don't know why they lumped us all together.Nor do I have any idea what those new programs are. It has been over 1 month since they announced the change, but no details have come forward.OK.......question for the gang:Should small, "unknown" manu... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
STAMPEDE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!I think that is the joke post...........!Just kidding. 
Nuforce
Hmmm.......not to be exploited by dealers?Someone told me that the purpose of this place was to be a market place, of sorts. And that a presence here was almost mandatory for small firms. The people who run this place changed all of the commercial...

How do you define "filter out the HF switching noise"?Just curious.

You can hate me.......it won't hurt my feelings! Some of my ex-coworkers will tell you that I made a career of getting people (mainly bosses) to hate me. Ah......the good ol' days.Anyway.Seriously, if you are going to try that many drivers, with t...

Signoro Wood makes a very good point. Despite what a certain overly vocal member may say, there is a period of adjustment, so to speak, with "digital amps." Some guys can not get the sound of their old amp(s) out of their head. It leaves those of ... 
Bi-Amping
Good grief.......I missed this first time out.........You have an 8" bass, 6.5" midbass, and a 3" dome midrange?There is the clue why you don't like the sound. I won't even touch on the mish-mash of crossover points and slopes.Go ahead......hate m... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
Seriously, Jim.........As much stuff as you have sold here, I would like to think that you are knowledgeable enough not to even think of starting a retail store front.All of my dealers went belly-up years ago. A few friends tried to hang onto thei... 
Polish for Rowland amp facia?
The new ones may well have. The older ones were a straight anodise. 
Polish for Rowland amp facia?
You should like my stuff even more. All pieces have Italian names.Back to anodising.........It is a form of a coating, but one created by an electrochemical process. If they leave the metal in the solution too long, you get what is know as a hard ...

I don't know Jason, and even though he is a competitor:I agree with what he says. Some of you guys are never happy unless you can throw stones at us. We all wait to see what you can offer, so we can roll boulders down on top of you.It's just a jok...
