Very likely my very delayed Ghent case is a Covid issue. It's just a bit unexpected that two identical packages mailed from the same place at the same time will arrive several weeks apart. If worse comes to worse I will order a replacement case from Ghent since they are the best option nonetheless.
I heard from a seller based in China that at one stage China was short of shipping capacity for non medical stuff. And that caused delays. Plus the shut down in China. Plus the fact the people there involved in serving customers in the West must be pretty down about the bad press China gets from certain quarters in the international media. Its not easy for any person on planet earth. Australia had ships full of face masks and 747 filled with the same for a few weeks at one stage and not much else getting through.
I might get my hearing tested. I can probably hear up to 6khz, I dunno. Maybe I need ultrasonic electrodes in my brain to directly stimulate a HF response in my noggin. You cant forget the human/machine interface. We have different perceptions based upon individual sensitivities. I refuse to write a thesis on the subject though. There is something about class D that helps me. Dunno what it is .
Connectors are cinch (RCA). There no baseline noise that can be heard from any listening distance when the RP600 are connected and powered by the IcePower amp alone (close to none), but my Arcam preamp does generate some noise, though also imperceptible from a typical listening distance. When used as the amplifier, the Arcam did generate baseline noise that was definitely perceptible when listening to music at low volume, which is one of the primary motives for me to acquire a separate power amp, hence the IcePower purchase. Definitely happy with it.Do you hear any hiss from your Klipsch's together with the IcePower?
And btw, have you connected it over XLR or cinch?

I have both a 300AS1 + 300A1 amplifier and the 125ASX2. I have no equipment for any measurement but I can say there is a noticeable performance difference in the bass. Slightly more tight and punchy on the 300AS1 as expected. Both a lot more detailed compared to Marantz SR7013 and also less warm which is normal for class D vs A/B. Definitely recommend picking up and 125ASX2 for a play. If anyone noticed.... Yes, I have no shielding on my signal input as I'm used RGB cable temporarily.
What has puzzled me is the speaker's output, the "pin4" is positive when in stereo mode but negative in bridged mode. For the interest of this forum and curiosity, I will give this a try, Might have a switch somewhere to test. What's the worst that can happen..blow a speaker or amplifier?I've read through the entire 10 pages of this excellent and very helpful thread but still have a question regarding 125ASX2 amps in BTL configuration. I'm considering assembling a pair of mono amps based on this ICEpower module. Since my source will be balanced, wiring the board should be straightforward:
What has me puzzled is how the 125ASX2 can be configured to accept either SE or balanced input using Ghent's RTX module. The module seems to have one input (single ended) and one output (balanced) yet I see finished amps with rear panel toggle switches allowing for either RCA or XLR input selection. How is this accomplished?
After re-watching Guntars Smits YT video comparing ebay sourced 125ASX2 modules to the genuine article () I'm feeling a bit more confident about giving the Chinese clones/knockoffs a try.
Locked inside awaiting covid-19 results anyways!
