| wyred4sound amps Lets not forget that size and energy efficieny are particular strengths of Class D compared to Class A.When I was searching for an amp, if there was a high power Class A amp even close in size, weight, and energy efficiency, I would have had littl... | |
| The Hub: Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2010 Wish I was there.Maybe someday....Hopefully those in attendance keep the rest of us up to date on their findings. | |
| solid state vs tubes When considering my latest amp purchase, I strongly considered an ARC SS amp in that I was very impressed with the sound of the sp16 pre-amp and I did not find it to sound overtly "tubey". HAving heard ARC tube gear but not SS, based on what I rea... | |
| Is this clipping? "The 300B amp can reach the peaks, but can't sustain them. "That sounds like clipping to me? | |
| Audio Research LS-16 Mk2 vs LS-17 preamp Ck, You are right as best i can tell.I see there is an sp16L listed on arcdb as the less expensive linestage version of sp16.Also a separate listing for the more expensive ls16 that is clearly different in appearance.Clear as mud from the naming, ... | |
| solid state vs tubes So to sum up, bottom line to me is that it is possible to get two amps to sound the same or at least so close the differences are negligible, but this is not likely to be the case in practice, especially if one amp uses tubes and the other transis... | |
| solid state vs tubes MrT.,yes, no doubt either might sound good with any good speaker design, not just electrostatic.What I was wondering was do two different amps, much less a SS and a tube amp, ever sound the same. They can sound different and both good in different... | |
| Is this clipping? SPL CalculatorHere's a tool you can use to determine how loud your system can go given 10w/ch if you know your speakers efficiency.These things are usually just ballpark estimates to determine where you are on teh grand scale perhaps. Playing a sy... | |
| solid state vs tubes Can anybody tell me a pair of speakers that sounds the same well with either tube or SS amplification?I can think of different speaker/amp combos, some SS and some tube amps, that sound very similar, but I cannot cite a case where a tube and SS am... | |
| Is this clipping? Its true that a lot of modern "loudness wars" CDs feature peaked out/clipped waveforms in the recording. Combine that with amp clipping during playback and things can get really ugly! I have 13000+ CD tracks on my music server. I often play them r... | |

| Is this clipping? TGE,But you say it sounded good with realistic dynamics and loudness in the studio, right?So the recording would not seem to be the issue. Sounds like your amp clipped and blew the tweeter. Clipping is usually the case when a tweeter blows. Loud, ... | |
| Is this clipping? That's a nice article.My technical intuition tells me that fast and highly efficient Class D switching amplifiers like the Spectrons or Icepower are tailor made to accurately address the issues associated with dynamics, transients, and clipping be... |
