| Purifi Class D: Junk? "I don't get why Purifi thought this thing sounded good enough to release to the public" What are you talking about? You are not hearing a Purifi.....you are hearing a Purifi with a Hypex buffer put together by VTV.....The Purifi can use any buf... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I talked to Warren at VTV last week and he told me he has the Purifi eval boards coming in. He told me that he would sell it even cheaper than the Hypex boards because he was not going to use any input or output connectors.....just what is on the ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Yes, to echo the above. The input board you have in your VTV is the Hypex eval board that was originally for the NC500 module. Purifi has also made an input buffer board (both stereo and mono) that uses different regulators, op amps, etc. Warren a... | |
| Ceramic fuses Just look up any part and look at the spec sheet that shows you the material used as the lead......that is where the proof is. Pick up almost any component and put a magnet near its lead.....if it is not attracted then it is not steel. There is ... | |
| Ceramic fuses George is so ignorant. There are very, very few components that use "steel" leads.......are you kidding? Almost all transistors, tubes, resistors, capacitors, etc. use copper leads. There are a few rare op amps that use steel leads and some in... | |
| High end Class D amps? A catastrophic event ..he he... is when you win the super duper lotto. That is about the same odds as a wooden backed amp has catching fire. When have you heard of an amp that caught on fire? (I have read about 2 in over 50 years....and no bodie... | |
| High end Class D amps? Usually statements like these are made by people who do not like tweaking. So they make something silly up. The power supply in that amp is way away from the back panel. The power supply (a switching one) is completely self protecting......it s... | |
| High end Class D amps? "Real Audiophiles?" Who is to judge that? Audio is every man for himself. There is no criteria for who has the best sound, or how to achieve it.....as it is all subjective.......the opposite of drag racing.....where most everything is known by ... | |
| High end Class D amps? There is no perfect "Class". All amps sound different....no matter what the class of amplification is. All classes are imperfect. All need tweaking. If this were not true then we would be all using 1977 Pioneer receivers. Everything has gotten... | |
| High end Class D amps? If all you have heard is a stock Bel Canto Ref 600.....then you have no idea how good the latest class D is. The Ref 600s use a stock Hypex power supply, a stock Hypex NC500 module and an input buffer that is an integrated circuit powered by two t... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Maybe I should have put "nickname" in quotes....I was just letting you know that the Purifi module and the Eigentakt module are one in the same. You notice the name of this thread.....does not say Eigentakt. No biggie.What is important and that mo... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I’m an old guy. And I have not had any alcohol, drugs or sex for awhile.....can I join? Even top 10 would be fine. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Anotherbob is confused. The Purifi module has a nickname of Eigentakt. That is all. They are one in the same. Bruno’s last version of his amp circuit was called Ncore and is manufactured by Hypex. When he formed his own company he needed a new nam... | |
| High end Class D amps? About the IceEdge 1200 AS1 modules in the PS Audio and the amps I made last year: I measured them at 2 ohms of 1000 watts......200 watts below what it does into 4 ohms......yet Michael Fremer says it drives the Wilson’s very well? I have not read ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I have never heard a Bussman or Littlefuse sound anywhere near as good as any boutique fuse. Please people use your ears. It is not just resistance that the fuse gives. There are non linearities in all materials and resonances. Fuses can measu... |
