| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Oh my. Get it all out! | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? Next time I'm 6 drinks in and talking hifi with someone who cares or is not bored of me, I'm going to say this plebeian thing.... When Class A/B idles, it's only running at say 1000 rpm--to use a motor analogy. When Class D idles, it's only run... | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? Thank you @oldhvymec . I have a nice tube preamp here that I may drive the Marantz ruby with just to see how valves fronting Class D sounds. I did that once before with an NAD M22--I put a Schitt Freya in front of it and it sounded great that wa... | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? it’s been said multiple times on the forums that it’s best to leave solid state / class d amps on all the time as it sounds better. turn off / unplug solid state equipment if going out of town or bad weather is coming. tube equipment gets tur... | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? @erik_squires , THANK YOU! E. I know you have some technical knowledge and background. How wonderful it is to hear someone like you say, Yep, this is my experience and I'm not sure exactly why. Certainly the notion of caps being charged up ... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Wait, didn't Keith Relf die from an improperly grounded amp? At any rate, science tells me it is absolutely possible. Probable? Maybe not, but....I'll take my amps grounded to chassis and to earth. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock I'm sure there are more people who have been hurt by poorly designed grounding schemes and we don't hear about them in the news. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Not a tube amp situation per se (microphone, but a tube amp is potentially involved)... Les Harvey electrocuted by unearthed microphone on stage. while on stage with Stone the Crows at Swansea Top Rank in 1972, that he was electrocuted after tou... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Can someone show me documented case where injurie resulted from an ungrounded piece of equipment? I know Keith Richards was shocked on stage and same with the guitarist from Kiss when their guitars created a circuit due to lack of proper ground... | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? @testpilot , HA! That made me smile. @oldhvymec, You too! I knew you had a valve thing going but not Class D too! We might be cut from the same cloth. I have this weird sense that what you are saying is what I'm experiencing. I know it's ob... | |
| Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger.... Thank you everyone! She was an amazing talent. Wow. She sings a blues so effortlessly. It's really something. | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? So yes, and I've researched the threads. But I haven't heard the basis for why Class D might sound better. I get little to no heat, they aren't tubes, etc. What's the science behind why they sound better. Just curious. | |
| Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger.... Thank you. I’ll get to that album next! I was researching her today and saw she died at 33, was it? | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Thank you @imhififan | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Team Audiogon, Trying to put this into perspective... If the amp measures 15W continuous at 4ohm with <1% distortion, it might be fair to say that when driving 8ohm nominal Klipsch Cornwall IVs at 102dB efficiency, the amp sounds or can sou... |
