| Cartridge incompatibility, Soundsmith and Luxman Yes, MC setting. The load is not variable however, I think this is what's causing the issue. Based on all I've read, I think you are correct. | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Ralph, is your design a module like most of the others? It is a module; because of noise concerns that's really the best way to do it. | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Would the dead time be more like, or analogous to, crossover distortion, slew rate distortion, or neither? Neither. At least in our design, its responsible for lower ordered harmonics. We can see that there is a cubic non-linearity, as (like ou... | |
| Cartridge incompatibility, Soundsmith and Luxman The gain should be ok, but the load is way off and you can clearly hear it. The highs are rolled off and I need to crank up the volume to be acceptable level. @audiojan Are you using the 'MC' setting on the front panel of the Luxman? | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? Relating to power storage within an amp if you’re voltage coming out of the outlet remain stable, even on very hot days, then I think the only concern is spikes in Power needs to handle Sonic changes therefore it would seem the capacitors within ... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS At only 500Khz, what is the advantage of using GaN? @kuribo In a nutshell, reduced distortion and less heat than MOSFETs, not like that's much of a thing. The faster speed of GaNFETs requires less deadtime, which has to be increased at higher... | |
| Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe would Manley Mahi's be worthy of consideration? Both have the same power tubes (EL 84). Oto is 10W SET, Hahi is configurable to triode mode at 20W. So what's more important in considering amp/speaker matching? Type of power tube or configuration?... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS There are many sources of distortion in class d amps, not only those you have mentioned, but also in the output filter. Do you use post filter feedback? Yes. Please share some measurements of the frequency response with load, THD+N with power... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I wonder how well this new product will work with 16 ohm speakers? Sure, it will work, but, how effectively. This is a surprise for folks who have cherished the OTL designs for use with 16 ohm speakers. My speakers at home are 16 Ohms as well ... | |
| What phono cartridge is suited for metal and heavy rock? Its impossible to make a cartridge favor a certain genre. What makes it good for metal will make it good for jazz too. With high output cartridges, if not loaded properly they can be bright due to high frequency resonances caused by the inductance... | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? you know I gotta believe all the wonderful power supplies that already exist inside a higher level component no doubt do a lot of what the PS audio regenerator does. So at the end of it all what is the point of this PS audio regenerator? Are all... | |
| Impedance matching/balanced connection Would I be correct in assuming that the balanced output impedance at 20hz would be double that figure? Its two outputs, each having that 1.3K value at 20Hz. I've not found input impedance info on your amp, but if its less than 13KOhms single-e... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Anyone?Are they all basing it off of the standard “Bruno parts”? @holmz No. The amp uses a module of our own design. I don't see why it could not be used in a bi-amped system. will you, like Bel Canto now discontinue or gradually phase out yo... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I wish you even greater success in the new year with them. Thanks! | |
| Impedance matching/balanced connection From a strictly mathematical point of view you should have no problems. The only gotcha I can think of off hand is most tube preamps employ an output coupling capacitor (ours are direct-coupled to get around this problem) and so the capacitor can ... |
