    Seems increased commentary in recent weeks about ABX tests. Much of it stemming from people who come to ASR to set us straight about trusting our ears. I do agree with some who have said that calls for ABX or it didn’t happen have become almost like a club to beat people over the head with, and...

    Class D AIYIMA A07 amplifier (ABX) listening test

    I was curious if inserting AIYIMA A07 TPA3255 class D amplifier in the D/A – A/D loop would be audible. I tested the amp in another thread and found that the frequency response depends, at higher frequencies, on speaker complex impedance, due to amplifier's output LC filter - that is outside...
