| Anyone have experience with VTV amplifiers? The VTV version appears to run at a considerable discount, compared to, for example, the Apollon audio version, which starts at about $2500.00. Nord has a stereo version that starts around $1200, and a true-mono version at about $1800.00. The VTV ... | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences Does anyone have experience with Pascal? How does it fit into the class D lineup - does it sound significantly different, from Hypex? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @213runnin I find your comments interesting, in terms of how they represent you and what you are actually motivated to explain. You have an intelligent view, for sure, with strengths and limits. Could any of you supply me with a definition for fan... | |
| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... Now, this seems significant:"The more you bleed left and right towards mono, the better the central image becomes, and the worse the image either side of center l & r and out side the speakers image becomes. "Is this measured? Are we measuring... | |
| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... The "bleeding" of information from one channel to the other, is what I'm seeking to understand - how does this impact soundstage? I brought this up because I'm researching amplifiers, ad nauseam. Perhaps I should start a thread for dealing with th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The DI is stated to handle 400 watts - I assume, per channel. The DI SE, 500, and the Moabs 900. Is anyone running this kind of wattage? The d-sonic amp runs roughly 750 wpm into 4 ohms, and even boasts 1200 into 2 ohms. Is anyone playing with thi... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I've just asked this on the Moab thread, but the audience to this thread is larger and just as relevant: What class D amps have people used with their Double Impacts, and which are the favorites? I'm taking a serious look at d-sonic, as well as "c... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? So, here's the deal - Tracy Chapman. If you are a serious listener, who likes to weigh the voice and the message, tonight my simultaneous listen and recommendation is "Let It Rain" by Tracy Chapman. If you are a dancer, this provides a solid heart... | |
| Filter Capacitance @millercarbon What then is the secret, if it's ALL BS? How does a person know if they are making a high current, high watt amp, or not? Clearly, companies are aware of their end products in some degree, comparing them to other offerings they have... | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp This is all moving just fine... @douglas_schroeder So, having given this some thought, including some consideration of your review work - I did enjoy reading through one of your reviews. Here is my quandary, given your estimation of my amplifier. ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent Why, thank you, Reubent. Thanks for the note of welcome! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My favorite CD of the last month, which I will attend to (fully) this evening: Lofty's Roach Soufflé - Harry Connick Jr. and it's entirely instrumental. I consider the first song mostly a "pacing" song, an attunement song that gets my mind into th... | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp Much appreciate the responses and angles of... attack...@mammothguy54 The GFA is an old amp, pushing thirty or thirty-five (years of age), from what I'm reading. A replacement, the 555SE is also now ten or twelve or more years since release... I t... | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp @mrdecibel Unexpectedly, I've just run into a review from August of 2013, attesting to use of the Job 225 with a pair of Thiel CS 1.7's. The minimum impedance is 2.6ohms, and now I've learned the difference between nominal and minimal impedance, p... | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp @glennewdick Eric of Tekton did say the speakers run easily and didn't see a problem with my amp... The amp isn't really known for hard loads - they recommend not using it for 4ohm, it turns out. So, it's really not built to do what I'm asking; it... |
