| Time to buy a class D amp? FWIW I’ve run a bunch of Class D amps over the last several years all the time and no tweeter meltdowns. I didn't say it happens with all, just one version of those Class-D's that I've seen. And when as Texas Instruments say, when the output f... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Here’s a new model that claims it can handle 2 ohms.This amp goes backwards in to 2ohms!!, like I said above with the NAD referenceSpec sheet for Icepower 700ASC specifies 2.5ohms minimum. Same deal with this, what it’s true 8ohm, 4ohm, 2ohm "wat... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Again back in product protection mode.Read again from Texas Instruments, far more authoritative than you Ralph, and this is still with the output filter in place, but with it set too high, without it and you have a tweeter meltdown. From Texas I... | |
| Threshold CAS-2 power Amplifier Specifications tube_meister Threshold CAS-2 power Amplifier SpecificationsIf you have enough volume from your speakers that's all that matters. Your fine for the impedance match, the 75k input is a good match for a 10kohm passive.Cheers George | |
| Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue Maybe OP should disconnect the jumper and test the treble section and mid/woofer section separately Agreed but first maybe the op wcheng2 OP should let us know, What’s actually happening, is there nothing from the tweeter or nothing from the mid... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Anyone stating class D is "noisy as hell" very obviously doesn’t know what the heck they’re talking about. Why did twoleftears dog run out of the room when it was turned on?? Go near one with a portable am radio tuned off station around 600khz (... | |
| Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue (mine came from Stereophile, your doesn’t say, except diy) Which ever xover it has, the OP has to say to us.What’s actually happening, is there nothing from the tweeter or nothing from the mid-bass or very little from the tweeter or very little... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Since I perceive none of these effects in my system using numerous class D amps, by your own definition your claimed class D deficiencies don’t exist in my system. Good on you, your one of the few that do, for every one that does, there's two tha... | |
| What type of Amp for Ohm Walsh F-5015s? What type of Amp for Ohm Walsh F-5015s? If you have an impedance/phase graph on them it will be very easy for those who can read them to recommend an amp.Cheers George | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Actually thanks to twoleftears ’s dog, this would be a great way for Class-D owners if they have a young’ish dog to tell if their output filter is set too high or too low, as they will be one the other, or combo of both, eek! Just watch to see if ... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? You say you hear somethings not quite right in the upper-mids and highs, and phase shift going on in those areas. Could you, respectfully, enlighten me as to what you are hearing? Not just me, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, it a common c... | |

| Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue Yes you got two sets, one for the bass and one for the tweeter.The tweeter pair should measure open circuit because of the cap in series .The bass will measure what ever the resistor is in series, (does anyone know what that is?) . https://ibb.co/... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Clearthink’s attitude towards, indifference to, or hate of, all things class D seems obvious. :-P It's pretty hard not to, when you know somethings not quite right in the upper-mids and highs, and then see this kind of phase shift going on in th... | |
| Schiit Freya Plus tubes and tube rolling dschen5 I’d wait till you decide which configuration you like the best, passive, tube or solid state. You may have the perfect setup for the passive, which will then give the best transparency, dynamics, and no added coloration.Cheers George |
