| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? When I was looking at these kinds of amps for my rig, I looked at power ratings into various loads and specs indicating current delivery capability explicitly. In general, the higher current capable amps seemed to correlate pretty well though not ... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? No problem! | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? I was listening to a nuclear "expert" from a well recognized American University explain on CNN a few days ago early on in the Japan nuclear fiasco why theoretically there was nothing to really be worried about with the troubled reactors in Japan.... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? interesting, but unfortunately, simplified theoretical scenarios are not very enlightening regarding what really matters playing real music.Having a well made amp that is in no risk of breaking a sweat in practice is simply one of the best and sim... | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? "So, all in all I like tube sound, I do not like the hassle of tubes. But I like clarity and purity more than tube sound. "HEy, I'm with Elizabeth 100% on this! | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? I tried a tube DAC in my rig and switched to a similar SS unit after switching to a tube pre-amp. There were too many tubes affecting the sound at that point.The sound now is spot on.That tube DAC is in my second system now which is all SS otherwi... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Yes, factor in the ability to handle transients as well as the more macro dynamic/loudness aspects and the case for making sure your amp does not break a sweat doing it's job one way or another goes way up.I'm not an expert on amp design by any st... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? "Actually, my experience is that most audiophile speakers sound like crap at very loud levels. There are notable exceptions like Legacys, big Wilsons, and the top-of-the-line Revels, to list a few, but most don't, so I'm wondering what people thin... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? "But if you're not listening to acoustic music, and are of the RR family, then quality of sound isn't what you're after as much as volume of sound."That's a very biased perspective.There is high quality and lesser quality non acoustic music as wel... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Isn't clipping an even worse consequence than unbalanced frequency response alone? | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Foster,The Class D/icepower BC ref1000m monoblocks I am using meet all your criteria except for price and power exceeds your stated range at 500w/ch into 8 ohms, which is generally more of a boon than a problem with most large full range speakers ... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? In a tough room like my wife's sun room, options to achieve "perfect" sound are limited.1) minimize the imperfections through tweaking and learn to live with it2) have the room professionally analyzed and based on findings, do some combination of ... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Foster,Sorry to hear your still fighting bass and other issues. Your case is a tough one to get a handle on because I know you've tried so many things, including subs, and still have not yet scored completely.Even if everything is matched well ele... | |
| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used I have no clue.I just wanted to revive this thread that has been dead for a few years. Lots of things have happened in this area since 2006 I think. | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Another reason that there may not be as many high current electronics as you might think could be that they are only of concern to "audiophiles" looking to max out performance of there system. Most people get by fine with less than industrial stre... |
