| Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea? @onhwy61 ,I must say I fully appreciate the respectful, yet obviously sarcastic calling out of B--S--.Does liquid metal have resistance? Yes (quite a bit actually)Does liquid metal constructed into a cable have capacitance? YesDoes liquid metal co... | |
| Transparent cables Recalibration prices out of this world What is a rip-off is that they claim to "calibrate" a cable but will do it without your amplifier, or your speaker. | |
| Audiophile demographics? There are more smart women, based on percentage over 100 IQ than men. On the other hand, there are far more very smart men based on IQ. Men are far more likely to suffer from personality disorders. Men are more gullible. Men are more likely to ... | |
| High end Class D amps? Technics GaNFET: Dry, sterile, boring. Burned it in for over a month. The cheap integrated unit.I don’t claim to know all the Technics GaNFET units, but I am not aware of a "cheap" integrated unit and considering you are using relatively "cheap" O... | |
| High end Class D amps? The way to tell people who know and don't know what they are talking about is by the detail and depth of their posts. Ralph, jaytoy, and I talk about architectural specifics about Class-D, even where the filter is placed. We talk about device ope... | |
| High end Class D amps? I generally think of the Odyssey units more as PA amplifiers than serious audiophile gear. Throw lots of brute force at a problem, but not a lot of finesse ending up with a "warm" but bloated sounding box. If that is the sound you like, then I am... | |
| High end Class D amps? George is coming from a position of near 0 experience with actual class-D amplifiers and I expect almost 0 experience at the architectural / design side of amplifiers at all. He only knows what he reads, with limited direct listening experience. ... | |
| High end Class D amps? This goes beyond Dunning-Kruger it is just bizarre. We aren't arguing over something subjective or subject to opinion. This is clear cut, basic operational details. It is almost at conspiracy level. I don't understand it. | |
| High end Class D amps? I currently don’t make, sell, or market any amplifiers and have no skin in the game either way. I do understand quite well amplifier topology though.georgehifi, given your obviously thin educational knowledge w.r.t. amplifier topologies and again ... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @tony1954,After reading some of the replies, perhaps the title of your thread should be Audiophile Personality Disorders as some are certainly evident here. Curiously, men are far more prone to personality disorders as well.I was talking to a teen... | |
| High end Class D amps? You see @georgehifi, @jaytor understands quite clearly how your term EPDR has no meaning effectively for Class D as well as how your metric of doubling in output power at half the output load impedance has little meaning for Class D. You do not. Y... | |
| High end Class D amps? I will state again. You clearly do not understand what this term EPDR means. It had absolutely no meaning for a class D amplifier as it does not work in the linear range. The only figure that matters is lowest impedance which in most speakers occ... | |
| High end Class D amps? That value that you quote, EPDR has absolutely nothing to do with max current requirement. It is a synthetic value to represent thermal loading in a linear amplifier. It has no application to Class D amplification.I suggest going back and understa... | |
| Speakers sound brighter at evening / night? The only thing that will change "brightness" of a speaker at night would be a change in relative humidity coupled with a bigger room and moreso with limited absorption. A poorly designed amp sensitive to AC voltage but seems unlikely.More likely i... | |
| High end Class D amps? I will repeat my question, why would a class-D amplifier care about phase angle. The data you have presented only applies to thermal loading (hence dissipation resistance) in the linear region of semiconductor devices (It would apply to tubes as w... |
