| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour Hi George,Perpetual motion would be creation of energy. This is simple ohms law principals. Voltage = Current x Resistance. If the power supply can deliver, then the voltage and current will act in proportion, hence power in proportion. Power = Vs... | |
| Best speakers in the 50-60k range ? cessaro horns or the voxativ field coils on the Pure Audio Project hornsGerman Physiks if you like the coherency and tight bassNeed good amps with both for excellent sound.Also look at used pair of Pipedreams. All of the above with a good amp will... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour The ELEMENT 116 is touring Texas right now. Soon to be back in NJ. Any one looking for a listen, there are ELEMENT 116 in Northern NJ and soon to be in NYC also. | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour Good detailed review of Class D and the ELEMENT 118 in the March issue of HiFi+ Magazine, on your newstands now. Alan Sircom, editor and a very good, succient writer dives into both. Take a read.This review was done in the UK. | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps This is a side note to the Class D and cool running amps. One of the major benefits of running cool or cooler is that the components stay intact longer. A major benefactor of this cooler running amp it the Electrolytic Capacitor that is very commo... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps For the more detail inclined minds this is a good 20 min read.https://www.qorvo.com/design-hub/ebooks/gan-for-dummies#formNote having the fastest car does not mean you automatically win the race. It is but a tool of many tools required to win the ... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps GaN transistors – first commercially available in 2010, will certainly become more pervasive as the costs come down. GaN material was used in LED’s for over 2 decades. GaN transistors can be used for any class of amplifier. It is not limited to C... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps I can only speak for the Merrill Audio amplifiers at this point.1. There is zero dead time. So it is smooth and you cannot tell or scope any switching.2. There is zero feedback. Since we don’t have to correct for distortion or overshoot or deadt... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps Transistors inherently have a lot of capacitance. This is the cause of the slow turn off. The capacitance in the transistors (MOSFETs in particular) keep the charge going even though the voltage has been removed. This causes running at the top and... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps So nice to see a GaN thead with such a wide range of comments. I will add a few factual items here for the benefit of the readers and non circuit designers.First of all Class D has been around since the late 1950's. The concept of Class D could no... | |

| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour Here is a review of the ELEMENT 1116 versus the VERITAS Monoblocks as posted on Audiogon.This was done by Dr. Michael Bump, Percussionist at Kansas Symphony and Profession of Percussion at the Truman State University. A very good write up and enjo... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour So far the ELEMENTs have been to Munich, Hague, Kansas, NJ, CT, WA, NH, France with a few locations in each place. More places to go. They are currently in Netherlands, France, Washington, NJ. Any one looking to compare their amps can take them in... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour French Horns cozy up to the ELEMENT 116 Power Amplifier Monoblocks. Daniel the new owner heard the ELEMENT 118 at Munich and decided to be the very first customer in Europe with the ELEMENT 116 which have not been announced yet.Daniel claims that ... |
