| Class D is just Dandy! Linear amplifier distortion can be reduced by feedback, something digital amps may use in buckets. Using feedback to reduce distortion isn't a free lunch though, or is it? | |
| How would you get into the biz? The niche that is really opening up is the small powered stereo speaker with digital inputs. Think audio engine and vanatoo. If I were to try to chase the buck, I would start stuffing hypex modules in fancy aluminum cases. | |
| Class D = Trash? I have a used D amp that needs to be re-broken in due to it being in storage for 1 year and 6 days. I would like updates at the following intervals - 600, 900, & 1500 hours...we can have listening sessions over Skype to monitor progress. | |
| Class D = Trash? Secondly...YES...break in time is crucial. When I bought my 501's, they'd been off for ~ year. I think they went through a break in period at that point, as they continually sounded better (and proceeded through the 'goofy midrange' 'echos in th... | |
| Class D = Trash? This link is to the best thread that I know of discussing the pros and cons of Class D technology vs Class A. The limitations of each technology is discussed in great detail. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/class-d-technology | |
| Class D = Trash? The Marantz PM-10 and NAD M22 are hypex Ncore. If you haven't been pleased with Class D in the past, I can't imagine that a new name on the box will change things much. | |
| Class D = Trash? Guido, is there any scientific explanation behind these Class D break in numbers? I can see speakers maybe needing a bit of time to break in....but transistors??? Given that break-in of a class D power amp ranges from 600 hours to approximately... | |
| Class D = Trash? Very interesting point about switching frequencies… What is the acceptable switching friequency range is targeted by the pundits? Below is a quote from George from the Class D technology thread. The day will come when Class D will compete and... | |
| Class D = Trash? Again, one experience with ICE modules cannot possibly speak for all Class D amps, just the one amp you heard. Goodness folks. I heard a poor tube dac once so they all must have a ways to go.....crazy thought process correct? These issues with... | |
| Class D = Trash? I can definitely detect that element of...whatever it is. Dryness? Poor blending of upper- mids into highs? Lack of weight? There's a SOMETHING to the sound that hints to listener fatigue. I experienced the same with Ice Power amps. Dry, cold, ... | |
| Best $500 System? I suggest the audioengine HD3. They are amplified, veneered, and small. Perfect for a woman not concerned about bass. The JBL 305s sound great for the money, but I don't think many women would accept their looks. The Vanatoo Transparent one is my ... | |
| Help in selecting 1 of 3 amplifiers I suggested the wireless active LS50.Then you at the mercy of class-D amps, like em or hate them.The tweeter is Class AB powered and the woofer is Class D powered. The LS50 active has a 12 month warranty...a lot can go wrong with active stuff cram... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! I would use it all the time but engaging the crossover in the preamp I use (Parasound P7) really diminishes the sound.Sorry for being random Erik, but why does engaging the crossover in the preamp diminish the sound? | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! Another vote for JBL Studio 530. Compression driver is super smooth. | |
| High quality interconnects - bargain price If these are as good as you say, the manufacturer would immediately raise the price to $2200. That's the way this game works :)With pro audio, buyers aren't as gullible. |
