| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? To date, I've used 3 different class D amps on my fairly inefficient and older Magnepan 2.7QR speakers (87db @1 watt):ClassD Audio SDS-CS440 stereo amp. 44O W/CH at 4 ohms.Emerald Physics EP-100.2SE stereo amp. 150 W/CH at 4 ohms.D-Sonic M60... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? georgehifi, I stated the GaN technology will reduce dead-time and likely result in even better class D sound quality. I believe this could be a significant step forward even though I have yet to hear an amp using them. My main point being cu... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? singintheblues, The use of GaN semiconductors in class D amps, despite georgehifi's repeated claims to the contrary, currently have not been established as providing definitively superior sound quality to the technology and semiconductors empl... | |
| Powering nine home speakers jj91709, Unfortunately, you seem to have no desire or interest in a good quality music reproduction system for your room and, as a result, I find I've lost interest in your system, myself. Just hire a company that installs background m... | |
| Powering nine home speakers Okay, understood. Then, you plan to run and listen to your music in mono, right? Seems like it'd be hard to perceive any of the benefits of stereo sound with 9 in-ceiling speakers. I guess you could try by running one side of the room ... | |
| Powering nine home speakers jj91709, I think it's important you realize something that has not been stated on this thread thus far. Listening to music through 9 ceiling mounted speakers is the least enjoyable method I, and probably most members on this forum, can think ... | |
| Powering nine home speakers Okay. You can connect the left and right front outputs on your receiver to a separate multi-channel amp. This allows you to connect some speakers to the speaker outputs on the Onkyo receiver and the remaining to the multi-ch amp's speak... | |
| Powering nine home speakers jj91709, Do you have a 7 channel Onkyo amp or receiver? Do you just want music that can be played louder through the 9 speakers in your room? Are these speakers stand alone regular speakers or are they mounted in the wall or ceiling? ... | |
| Best USB DAC to pair with the Aune X7s Class A headphone amp Update on 10/20/2018: I had promised a followup post on how the system is functioning and sounds after it was up and running for a few weeks on my last post on 11/23/2017. That was almost a year ago so this is obviously a bit overdue. Well, ... | |
| My amp suddenly going silent when volume knob touchedi have a ordered mofimadness4 and xti16, You guys are right, deposit buildup just causes a scratchy static like sound but does not cause the unit to shut down. Sorry, it was my fault. I think I must have misunderstood the symptoms on the original post.T... | |
| My amp suddenly going silent when volume knob touchedi have a ordered sifter, I seriously hope xti16 hasn't started a trend on this thread of readers voting on whether static or carbon deposits are the cause of your issue. mofimadness4 could be correct about your issue being static related. I was unaware of... | |
| My amp suddenly going silent when volume knob touchedi have a ordered Hello sifter, This is a fairly common issue; volume control shafts behind and attached to the knobs build up deposits over time that cause the exact results you've described. Buy a can of tuner cleaner spray for under $5 at an electr... | |
| What Characteristic Strikes You First About Un-amplified Music? I agree with bdp24 that live music is not only heard but felt by our bodies. To me, it was more of a physical experience than listening to my system at home. Music I listen to live consists mainly of small acoustic or minimally amplifie... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! celander: " I suspect some type of class A-class D hybrid will likely be the future for all class D topologies." There are currently class D amps using the topology of both transistor and tube analog class A input stages combined with analog ... |
