| ICE amps need cooling? Kijanki, If it were so funny for amp builders to use analog power supplies. You sure got that backwards. There is nothing that switches in an analog power supply. Nothing. It does not switch. It is like I said. The big caps hold a whole lot of res... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Audiofeil,My new speakers are True Sound Works Apogee Scintillas with precision panels, and new specially engineered ribbons giving the Scintilla greater presence. My new DAC is an Audio Note 2.1 highly enhanced by Henry HO, of H2O, so that it doe... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? I'm not down, Eldartford. Not by a long shot. :) | |
| ICE amps need cooling? ΓΌ Bang & Olufsen ICEpower a/s doubled its turnover from DKK 50 to DKK 100 million while the result improved by DKK 28 million from DKK 2 mil- lion during the 2004/05 financial year to DKK 30 million in 2005/06.There are so many class D auto am... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Kijanki, thanks for repeating my quote out of context. The 250A ICE module is getting clean power, and lots of it. There is no switching noise. | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Audiofeil, I have new speakers and a new DAC in the mix now. Things never stay the same in my system. They just get better. | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Eldartford, Yes, the analog power supply acts like bagpipes in the energy is pumped in as to need. Also, this being a low frequency switching one may believe that it would be much more audible than the much quicker switching of the digital PS ICE ... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Look you guys, it's like this. Class D is analog. This is true. A digital switching power supply is not. It shuts power off and on. Analog power supplies provide a constant energy source the analog module can draw from. I think this debate relates... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Eldartford, There is lots and lots of capacitors in the H2O. The big ones supply clean power, and defeats ripple. The smaller ones fast fire this energy when needed. Note that none of these caps are in the signal path. It is a proven fact that the... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Dcstep, I meant to most other class D amps.... There have been too many modules in a box amps around. | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Let's take cymbal crashes for instance. My system breaks the metallic splash into its separate shimmering wavelengths the same way a prism breaks white light into it's rainbow waves. Unlike other class D amps, mine has a hefty power supply that su... | |
| ICE amps need cooling? Oh fuddlebud. I am running my 1 ohm speakers at .3 ohm for the time being, as a foil resistor on the right speaker is malfunctioning and I am bypassing it. My class D amps are fitted with the 250A ICE modules. The highs are to drool for. The amps ... | |
| Jeff Rowland 501s burn in ... a strange experience My class D amp builder, Henry Ho, told me this story. A buyer of his amp called him after a first listen, and said, "Henry, your amps have NO BASS!" Henry told him to be patient. A half hour later the guy called back, "Henry, your amps have TOO MU... | |
| Jeff Rowland 501s burn in ... a strange experience I have a different ICE amp, and what you are witnessing is well documented. Eventually it should sound fine. After break in you should try rolling what else you have in your system. Power cords should be upgraded first, and then you will find sour... | |
| Apogee slant 8s compared to larger apogee models? I heard all the models at True Sound Works too. Like you, my least favorite was the Scintilla. The Perreaux amps he was using sounded atrocious. Crap in crap out. Needless to say, that Scintilla doesn't sound anything like mine. I look forward to ... |
