| Historical look at amps Vince......don't start again, ok?? I have too much research on this subject to be off my rocker. Remember, I have building stuff commercially for around 20 years. I am not some young upstart just getting his feet wet. We all know that Henry's amps... | |
| What next???? Has to bee "hemi", right? 383........440....those were wedge designs. | |
| Biamp Low frequecy amp recommend All of the suggestions are reasonable. I would advise looking into the active crossover solution.BTW........there is any number of "digital" amps that do quite well in the bass region. In fact, that may be what they do best. | |
| Historical look at amps Someone asked me a question via e-mail that is probably too technical for everyone here, but.......As I was formulating my response (it was about current-feedback vs voltage-feedback), some thoughts came to me that might help to clear up this "zer... | |
| Rowland --- older amps vs the newer models? Well, I can not speak for Jeff, but YES! If you can tolerate the weight, the mechanical hum (damn hard to get rid of it), not to mention that you can't place it near the anlog front-end (electrical hum), then I would concur that choke inputs are b... | |
| Historical look at amps Yes, the intrinsic emitter resistance does constitute local feedback, but I was trying not to get too technical.Ok, speaking of emitters and such, the development of "ring emitter" transistors lead to a radical change in transistor design. Back wh... | |
| Historical look at amps The next rung??? Don't know that I would characterise it that way. I would say it is just another branch on the tree, and trust me, I have climbed all over it.OK.....at this point someone scratches their head and goes "Doesn't this guy make digita... | |
| Historical look at amps I know you aren't trying to argue. But it does get frustrating to us technical types when it seems like we speak, but no one listens. I know........maybe we don't put it in terms the layman can grasp. But all too often the layman's response comes ... | |
| Historical look at amps Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to NOT use any (local) feedback, anywhere?Thought so......... | |
| Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20? Uh.......there is no "dead short" data. I think you mean "open" data. It won't work into a dead short, will it???Yes, it may very well be pristine on yours. As I stated, it could be that it works out to be the right amount on your system. No one i... | |
| Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20? I think we are looking at the same graph. In some of mine, they are in color, in others it is multi-color.So.....assuming that we are......look closely at the area between 10 kHz and 20 kHz. You will some slight variations.At first, you may not th... | |
| Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20? Can't you find any common ground? I'm trying hard here, bub......Ok, you don't know what mine sounds like, and I don't know what yours sounds like. OK, find a reason to argue that.But you missed the point, I am afraid. I am pointing out difference... | |
| Threshold's Wish I could tell you exactly. All I can remember is that it involved changing out the rear panel, as the arrangement of the connectors was different. The PCB was obviously different.I do remember that it happened around the time he came out with ... | |
| Best Digital Amp for Legacy Focus 20/20? See.......it wasn't that hard to agree with me. Was it?Anyway......if you look at the data sheets......it is there for all to see: Frequency response for 3 different load conditions. All 3 are different. | |
| Rowland --- older amps vs the newer models? As for the old ones......I would go with the 3s. Not as "rolled off in the highs" as the 5s and 7s are. I mainly prefer it because of the output transistors. And they run cooler.I won't comment on the ICEpower ones. Some use the ASP series, which ... |
