| Subwoofer Polirity ...... and I'm out.Enjoy the music! E | |
| Subwoofer Polirity The issue with sub polarity has to do with integration with the mains. Use measurement software. You want the smoothest response between them. Worst case is being completely out of phase, in which case you'll have a deep valley between sub and mai... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? OP:You may want to look into room correction such as DiracLive which can correct this. If you use a PC as a source you may even be able to play with it for free. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! So, wanted to make things a little more full.One of the spec’s commonly sited is S/N (signal to noise) or related THD+n (Total Harmonic Distortion + noise). The problem with Signal to Noise is that it is often cited at full power, and not at a mor... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Guys,The biggest issue with input/output impedance is the change in frequency response. This is especially bad with tube pres as they usually have a high output impedance. Driving a low impedance input amp can affect the overall response and de... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! You know, I was just thinking of something. It would be really fun to marry a Nelson Pass First watt Class A amp to Class D voltage rails via transformers. Sigh I wish I had more energy. :) Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I am a big a fan of excess as anyone, but at this point I'm going to have to wonder if big power matters ? I mean, come on! :) :) :) I also worry, like Nelson Pass, if big amps are worse performers in the first watt. What do you guys think? Have ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Guys,I'm so very happy with all of the participation on this thread, I'm also learning a lot, since I don't get to go to shows and dealers and listen as much as I would like to. Would it be worthwhile to put together a web site JUST for class D am... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @samac I looked at the NuPrime pages VERY briefly. NuPrime’s tech sounds a lot like the Yamaha EEEngine. Small class A amplifier sandwiched between Class D voltage rails.Again, kind of goes back to Carver’s Magnetic Field amp and NAD’s switching r... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? OP,So, positive polarity means a + voltage causes the driver to move towards the listener and away from the cabinet. A speaker designer may need to flip the polarity of individual drivers to get the correct frequency and phase alignment across the... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions audio4passWhen anyone types very short sentences it can seem like you are giving orders. Please be more considerate, and treat others like your friends who share a fun hobby. Best,E | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? So to all of us who are putting out amps from the 1980's we like...care to make comparisons to current products? Like the Nakamichi/Threshold / Pass crowd. How do those amps stand up today?? | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @madavid0 I don't have to be nice to people who are being nasty, so I'm not being nice to you anymore. You are the most transparent hater in the long list of transparent haters, and I know haters. You previously stated you know almost nothing a... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! randy,See if you can connect with @h2oaudio he makes Class D with linear power supplies. They sound pretty sweet. Erik | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I’m afraid I’m guilty of saying "Digital" vs. "linear" when I should stick to Class D instead, so my bad. :) And yes, those quotes and tech are stale as hell. No wonder George can’t enjoy digital amps, all the stories he reads about them are a dec... |
