| Watts and power Oh come on George, I don’t know any amplifier vendor that publishes independent data, only reviewer data. When I say that it’s Stereophile, Miller Labs, Newport Test Labs ,ect ect and like that are independent that give you the truth. If you want... | |
| Watts and power Class-D and complimentary mosfets poweramps fall down miserably when asked to deliver current into 2ohms so they can double the wattage all the way. That's why they never advertise "true" independently tested 8, 4, 2ohm wattage's just before clip... | |
| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? One positive is that these figures are not in the bass region.Yes the bass is where all the power is needed, but it doesn’t matter, it still taxes the amps, look what happens to many amps that try to drive ML’s esl 1ohm at HF, they sound distant a... | |
| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? talkskiwon OP Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? These two figures below of the Monitor Audio Gold 100 are within 1/2 an octave of each other and indicates the "need of an amp that is going to be v... | |
| Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?) As you said you were comparing two preamps, you found one better than the other, as you said the Benchmark has it’s own internal preamp.What’s discussed here, is going direct from a dac’s "output buffer" (that has no internal preamp), direct to th... | |
| Will Parasound A21 damage my NHT? I know parasound is 400w into 4 ohms. I usually listen to my speakers at 11 o’clock. How high can I go if I play loud before my speakers get damaged? I know nothing about amplifiers. Thanks. Couger you been a member for over 10 years you should k... | |
| Watts and power I've never heard one of these, I like that they used Bi-Polars (BJT's) to achieve this performance into low impedance's as complimentary mosfets would have trouble doing these sort of figures. While a neat idea, I question the lower voltage rail,... | |
| Watts and power sejodiren There’s a guy on CL selling this Proton ’beast’. What’s your impression of the review? He wants $750 for it. This if in good working order >25 years old now (any bad caps have been renewed) it should be a good BJT (bi-polar) amp, at... | |
| To pre or not to pre marcosb OP Do I need a preamp? If!!! you love the sound of your Mytek and have enough volume from it, why color it, reduce the transparency/dynamics with a preamp?Cheers George | |
| Watts and power I have a feeling you are were someone else in a passed life? | |
| Watts and power I don’t care for what you say, you need amps that can almost double down for each halving of impedance, not ones that actually halve their wattage and go backwards!! with current sag limiting into hard loads. Next you’ll be telling me that a 100w ... | |
| Watts and power Your selective cut and paste and your mention of phase angle shows you neither understand my post nor amplifier specs. No it is you that has no understanding sir, as the combined loading the amp sees, of -phase angle plus low impedance can look a... | |
| Watts and power and 150 into 8, is still better than 200 into 2 ohms, Good luck finding a speaker that is a flat 8ohm pure resistive load, with no -phase angleYou listen to your $420 3000w Behringer Class-D’s, I’ll take the ML2’s any day of the week over the Beh... | |
| Watts and power redstarwraith Why is it that sometimes an amp that has a high watt rating (like, say, a lot of class D amps do) don’t seem to always have the balls that much lower rated A or AB amps do? It’s to do with current ability, not just watts, you can g... | |
| Coupling Capacitor upgrade? Which one first? Solen is one of the largest cap manufacturers around, that do Hi-end audio caps.I’m not going to name the brands that I strongly suspect of doing re-badgeing work, you’ll have to look for yourself on the data sheets and compare all the parameters,... |
