| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Look at Merrill audio they started off reasonable . now because they decided to use the latest in digital they go Waaay over priced by making a fancy cabinet at 10 x the mark up , a truly good engineeer Will offer Amps preamp $5-$10 k. Tha... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS In a nutshell, reduced distortion and less heat than MOSFETs I guess we will have to wait for your distortion plots to determine if your amp measures less than the ncore or purifi amp, which is already far below audibility. As for less heat, th... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Here is the opinion of the Purifi team as discussed in an interview: Bruno: Well, with the sort of audio performance we’re getting I’d say that we’re asymptotically approaching “perfect”. One could argue that we passed the point of diminishing re... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS An Intergrated Class D Amp with Tube Pre-section would be a good idea?? Not in my opinion. The benefits of class d done right are neutrality, low power consumption, cool running, etc. which is sort of the antithesis of tubes. Kind of like or... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I guess Kuribo will have no more to say on this thread no more to say to you anyway. | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @kuribo No. Purifi is last year's news, even if he is now working on a higher powered module, and Hypex... well. GaN is state of the art--and not the generic stuff being put out by Peachtree and LSA. Until bettered, ncore and purifi are still ... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS The frequency response is load invariant within 1/10db from 20-20KHz, with 0 degrees phase shift at 20Hz and less than 1 degree at 20KHz. The invariance due to the output impedance being a few milliOhms, the low phase shift due to the feedback va... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Here are the facts that Kuribo/ASR miss. Not a single fact, just more guru babbling not worthy of further consideration or comment. But Ralph specifically says that his amp does have 2nd and 3rd harmonics at some level.. If I’m interested in... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS People, forget about Hypex, Purifi, et al. Why? They are the current state of the art in class d amplification. @kuribo From the website - The Class D amp has the same kind of distortion signature {as tube amps}, but at a much lower level... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Slightly circular I think, because those words define the "market" as being those who like state of the art design, excellent objective performance, as well as a neutral and transparent sound. That is actually quite narrow, by my reading, and so ... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @kuribo In most class D designs, the distortion sources in the design are caused by dead time and non-linearities in the encoding scheme. In our design these result in lower ordered harmonics- its not been tailored. There are many sources of ... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Don’t think so. His market is for people who REALLY listen and value how an amp SOUNDS and value his take on harmonic structure of the distortion versus super low standard measurements of distortion. All versions of Purifi and Hypex sound differ... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I think that if he wants to compete with the likes of Hypex and Purifi, he needs to publish measurements along the likes of the competition. | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS When will the specs/measurements be available? | |
| Are tubes psychological? It's audio, it is all sensory, thus everything is psychological. |
