| GaN based SU-R1000 Technics Integrated Class-D, review by TAS George: 1. The SE-R1 needs to be at 1.5MHz to perform as it does, considering the rest of its design.2. The AGD does not need to run that high to perform as it does. Its design and execution are superior, I believe. sure, they increased the freque... | |
| GaN based SU-R1000 Technics Integrated Class-D, review by TAS George, you are aware that AGD's Audion first gen is "only" 400kHz and is considered to be an excellent product? Their second gen is up to 800kHz I believe.So, let's stop touting 1.5MHz as the requirement for excellence. Perhaps it is for other de... | |
| GaN based SU-R1000 Technics Integrated Class-D, review by TAS ..and yet the reviewer didn't note:1. What music he played.2. How the amp specifically performed with that music.3. What the rest of the system was.and the most important spec for George: switching speed!This is a seriously lacking "review".Finall... | |
| Anybody else waiting for GaN and Purify to have a baby? The AGD amps are already into a second generation, at the same pricing I believe. I'm on the sideline as to jumping in to GaN amps. If I do it would be for an AGD, as I simply put more value into this manufacturer's resume. The proof is already in... | |
| Anybody else waiting for GaN and Purify to have a baby? I thought these eval boards were not optimized for audio? At least the first generation one.In any case, I doubt these boards possess the design magic and proprietary GaN's that AGD has. I consider the AGD amps the current standard for GaN amps.Un... | |
| Anybody else waiting for GaN and Purify to have a baby? Is it any wonder that the AGD products are superior to other GAN amps out there? Not if you consider the following:1. Alberto worked for the inventor of the GAN.2. He uses a PROPRIETARY audio GAN version.3. His circuit layout AND pcb are specially... | |
| Isolation for Granite Surface Plate "half inflated" kids scooter innertube I used something like that in the '70s when making holograms, with equipment mounted to granite plate. Worked great for isolation, I'm sure it would work for audio use. Simple and cheap! | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? Run the 1+1's full range, use a splitter from your source to the amp and powered sub, fill in the lowest range with the sub's controls.Simple, effective. I'm running the same setup with model 1's. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? So if you're not running an amp with a regular power transformer and a lot of capacitance available for the class D amp to feed on, you're probably not hearing what it can do.Exactly true. That's what allows the H2O Audio S250 Signature to run ... | |
| Class D ...that’s why you never see independent tests showing the 2ohm wattage almost doubling the 4ohm wattage. Even the Technics SE-R1 still has this problem...The H2O does it easily, that is drive 1-ohm Scintillas, not necessarily double down to even... | |
| Class D This isn't a thread on what class D you like. What's the NAD's 2-ohm rating? Hmm...it doesn't appear to be published.Look, right now there are two H2O Audio S250 Signature amps for sale on US Audiomart. These are real 2-ohm amps that handle Scinti... | |
| Class D Once a again...a thread turned into crap by the usual suspects and their usual arguments. | |
| Class D No, I’m not pairing the Scintilla with the SE-R1 - that’s why I said "OR" not "AND". I meant a system with either of those pieces is simply more than "decent" - much more.I know what works great with Scintillas and class D, as I noted above. And I... | |
| Class D madavid0: Something to keep solidly in mind when reading about how wonderful this or that class D module is that the commentator probably doesn't have even a decent system and his standards are very low. That seems to be the general rule with... | |
| Class D Is it too much to ask that we stay on topic?!Stop baiting George and, George, stop taking the bait.Geez!!! |
