I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Let me clarify myself, a little.While I like Class D, and in some cases a lot more than certain Class A amps, I do think the ability for them to emit noise back into the power line or radiate it to nearby devices is not zero. So I advocate the use... | |
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong audiofun:I used the self-powered version of the ICEPower modules, and I simply have not experienced the differences you did. I did keep the amps far away from other gear though, and used ferrites on the power lines. Best,E | |
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong It’s not the class D (ICE in this case) that’s the issue. It’s the sucky SMPS’s that are the problem. Well, that certainly was not my experience. | |
Surge protector Whole house surge protectors are definitely worthwhile, but I still recommend high performance surge protection near any sensitive electronics. Here is an article on my current thinking on the matter:https://inatinear.blogspot.com/2019/04/power-ma... | |

I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong I'd like to offer a correction. I said: I didn't say I did a test blindfolded. I said if I were blindfolded I could not tell the difference But actually, I kind of DID say that. Sorry. What I meant to say was: "I knew which amp was which, and eve... | |
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @firstnot What we talk about are personal experiences, which scientifically we'd call case studies. If you buy solely on scientific studies and discount case studies, including your own experience, you are definitely in the wrong hobby. That's lik... | |
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Hey @mapman I bought raw ICEPower modules and put them in cases as specified. Speakers were customs with data available here:https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2017/12/snr-1-two-way-high-end-diy-monitor.htmlYes, indeed, amps sound different... | |
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Hey @laserjock1963I've seen the reviews but never actually seen one in person.Best,E | |

New cap recommendation for power amp please If these are small, PCB style caps, Cornell Dubelier is a great replacement for many caps. | |

Ground Loop Hum caused by hardwired AC MAINS FILTER - help needed Remove any incoming coaxial cables, like for Cable TV, Satellite, etc. first. | |
Hearing phase distortion Phase distortion is very well defined and a concrete term in sound reproduction: Thanks, I stand corrected. Well, actually I'm sitting, but you get the idea. |
