| Class D is just Dandy! @samac I looked at the NuPrime pages VERY briefly. NuPrime’s tech sounds a lot like the Yamaha EEEngine. Small class A amplifier sandwiched between Class D voltage rails.Again, kind of goes back to Carver’s Magnetic Field amp and NAD’s switching r... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? OP,So, positive polarity means a + voltage causes the driver to move towards the listener and away from the cabinet. A speaker designer may need to flip the polarity of individual drivers to get the correct frequency and phase alignment across the... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions audio4passWhen anyone types very short sentences it can seem like you are giving orders. Please be more considerate, and treat others like your friends who share a fun hobby. Best,E | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? So to all of us who are putting out amps from the 1980's we like...care to make comparisons to current products? Like the Nakamichi/Threshold / Pass crowd. How do those amps stand up today?? | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @madavid0 I don't have to be nice to people who are being nasty, so I'm not being nice to you anymore. You are the most transparent hater in the long list of transparent haters, and I know haters. You previously stated you know almost nothing a... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! randy,See if you can connect with @h2oaudio he makes Class D with linear power supplies. They sound pretty sweet. Erik | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I’m afraid I’m guilty of saying "Digital" vs. "linear" when I should stick to Class D instead, so my bad. :) And yes, those quotes and tech are stale as hell. No wonder George can’t enjoy digital amps, all the stories he reads about them are a dec... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! So, to those confused by Class D vs. Digital, to be "digital" you have to convert or have the signal as an integer to describe the waveform. Like the digits in a CD track. This is "digitization" or converting an analog signal into a series of digi... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @georgehifi Interesting article, full of inaccuracies. One I may have helped propagate.Class D vs. Digital AmplificationThe article claims, erroneously, that Class D amps all have an A/D converter at the front. They do not. It is actually more o... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Wait, didn't we have a manufacturer participate in this thread? I tried going to their web site but it seems down? http://www.iceh2oaudio.com/index_htm.html | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? A brand I also liked, but I may be breaking my own rules, was Sonic Frontiers. I think they were 1990s? | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? I saw a lot of Electron Kinetics but never really listened. I’m going to get murdered in my sleep, but I have never liked the look of McIntosh gear, so I rarely if ever listen. :) It makes me shiver and think of fake wood paneling. I have to say I... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Randy,I trust todd's ear. :) I would go with the Ghent Audio kits.Best,E | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? lenmc - Isn't that the truth?? !! Erik | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Tandberg made the best looking amps in this era to me. They also were one of the few amps that could drive the Snell A series to justice in the bottom end. But listening recently, man, they really did sound grainy and nothing like your average mod... |
