| Class-D amps - a different re view One question remains: does a class D amp (in my case the ICEpower amp) sound "bland" and "threadbare" because of lack of harmonic overtones (incapability of reproducing the correct harmonic structure) or does it have to do with lack of distortion?... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Elberoth, I like the ICEpower amps better than the Mark Levinson 333 or the Accuphase A-50V. Not because I like "sterile" sounding ICEpower. To me the ICEpower amps sound more transparent, dynamic, faster and less colored compared to the artificia... | |
| balanced power In the schemes I've seen at the Equi=tech website I encounter one stable element and that is: ground. So for a proper balanced power a ground is necessary. What to do without a ground? Then balanced power (and common mode rejection) is not possibl... | |
| balanced power I'm sorry guys, despite your clear explanation I still don't understand how the concept of balanced power can be put into practice: is it always necessary to use a step down trannie with dual cores? So for balanced power a neutral conductor is not... | |
| Favorite reviewer? Srajan Ebaen of 6moons: I never understand what he is trying to say... But I think he is a very likeable person. Does he live in Cyprus?Chris | |
| Jeff Rowland 201´s or Ayre V-5 X Guido, the JRDG 312 is essentially a stereo version of the 501 mono's + isolation transformer in one chassis? So, two 501's should sound the same when combined with an external isolation trannie? What is the purpose of such a transformer with thes... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Imho Martin Colloms should make apologies because he tried to disqualified class D amps by using pseudo scientific arguments that underlie his lack of knowledge. This is funny: What would Mr. Colloms do if class D was the only type of amplificatio... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Kijanki, thank you for your clear explanation. I'm affraid Martin Colloms should go back to school. If he is not chicken he should also give his response! :)Chris | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view I think Kijanki is right: Martin Colloms' statements about the 17 weak points of class D have no solid scientific foundation. I wonder where he gets such information.Chris | |
| Audiophiles vs DIY-o-philes DIY'ers always say their stuff is superior to the stuff from the mainstream manufacturers. This is very annoying!Chris | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Coffeey: "Sure they can sound good,but why oh why did they all get such a terrible low score?Not even in the 40's ,50's,what 8,10.13?Mid fi at best"I think "4" might be better. Then the Accuphase A-50V should have a "3" and the Mark Levinson 333 a... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Mrtennis: And a vintage tube amp will never sound like a class D amp...Chris | |

| Audiophiles vs DIY-o-philes Dgarretson: so in your opinion most of the people who are buying expensive gear are fools and most DIY'ers are (although being restricted in their financial resources) the genuine audiophiles? This also implicates that products from these consumma... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Vince, haven't you ever heard of Ralph's amplifier brand (Atmasphere)? :)Ralph: my ICEpower based amps (ASP1000) have a bit aggressive and forward sounding treble. Do you know a cure for this? Will it sound better when I would use some kind of aut... |
