power amp

I’ve recently found out that using a hdmi to lightning adapter cable i can stream music directly from my iphone by connecting the cable into one of the hdmi ports on the back of the receiver. My question is by using this method am i getting full hi res lossless audio? Also in this method which...

I helped a relative get the same setup as me with a Wiim Ultra and a Hypex power amp. The hardware is not that important here because the problem is not there. Instead ill explain the wiring setup from source to speakers. TV - HDMI ARC - Wiim Ultra - RCA - Power amp - Speaker cable - speakers...

looking for a receiver/integrated amp class ab atleast 100 wpc loaded with akm dac and usb port that support direct streaming through smartphone. Thanks.

Hi guys! I'm planning to get the new Goldenear T66 speaker, sensitivity is 91 db. My room is small, but I love to listen loud sometimes. DAC/streamer I am eyeing for is atm a used Lumen T2 or new D3 (dac-streamer), but I am open for suggestions. It can be used too, but should be available in...

I purchased an SMSL A300 Power Amp about 18 months ago for my Rega Planar 1 turntable, using a Rega Fono Mini as a preamp. I’ve had no issues until now. On reconnecting the amp to the preamp after moving my setup I heard a faint pop and my amp powered off. I can see some green light through the...

Does anyone know how much power we need for each frequency? I mean, I wanna know, how much relative power do I need for 20hz, 30hz, 50, 100 ... Lets say; at 20hz, for each additional 3 db, I have to double the power comparing 30hz for 30hz for each additional 3db, I have to double the power...

So I'm going to drop some money into hifi, and the m66 preamp seems to tick all the boxes for me. The other parts of the system are KEF r3 meta, and 2 REL t7/x subs ( and a large 70m2 open plan room). After the expenditure on the m66 and recent speaker purchase -- I want to put the brakes on...

Hello everyone, been following and reading reviews on here for a while so i thought this might be the perfect place for someone to chime in and help me out on this. Looking around to buy a power amplifier for my studio, Currently running a pair of passive 8ohm Acoustic Energy AE22's on a...

I have for sale the amplifier that Steve Hoffman has been using for his review. MSRP of the amp is $4300. The sale price is $3500 with free shipping to the USA. I will also ship it anywhere else in the world at an additional cost. A 1-year warranty is included with the purchase.

Hello all, I have a simple question (I think) to which I have not been able to find a simple answer. I have to change my amplifier and need to restrict the choice to those amps that will allow me to hear at my desired sound pressure level, in my listening environment. My current amp is an AVR...

Hi all, I am fairly new to audio equipment. My hifi experience only extends to owning a portable Fiio M15S DAC, Fostex Headphones and an Escape portable speaker. Have never built a stereo setup. Anyways I just bought the below receiver and speakers, and am wondering how beneficial it would be...

Is there a way to change the binding posts on my Yamaha mx2 to accept banana plugs or spades instead of bare wire?

Hello, so, for the time being (until I can afford a miniDSP) I'm running a Topping DX7 Pro to act as preamp for my Crown XLS 2502 (which is powering my subs) via balanced XLR, while also using the RCA output to my powered speakers. The balanced XLR output on the Topping is rated at 4 vrms...

Is anyone out there using their PA3s single ended? I'm curious if anyone can speak to any differences in quality/power when feeding the PA3s from an RCA input. I'm planning on pairing a PA3s with an unbalanced DX3 Pro+, and I'm wondering if it would be worth it to pick up a balanced dac.

Hi, Because I want to properly integrate a sub I need to high pass my mains (LS50) but my amp does not have a main in to use it as a power amp. Is it possible to just use my integrated amp with the volume pot in a fixed position to achieve that? I already found the volume position in which...

Looking for a 100wpc+ power amplifier with the ability to change gain or attenuate somehow. I’d like something that measures well and is small. Something similar to the PA5. I’ll be powering Vandersteen Treo CTs and it’ll be fed directly by a DAC/pre. I’d like to keep this around $250, but...

Hi, My setup is really simple. I use Spotify on my iPad that's connected via USB cable to SMSL Sanskrit 10th MKII DAC that also take an Optical Toslink input from my TV and pass all to 'No Name' Fosi T20 Amp found on Amazon, all of this to feed a pair of Dali Spektor 1. It is surely all on...

So I was wondering what I should expect as far as the headphones output differences. Are they big? Where would it be audible? Is the E10K actually more powerful? Would it distort quicker? If anyone could explain that and maybe refer me to some stats so I learn - that would be great. Trying to...

Join me as I discuss DIY amplifiers with Toid's DIY Audio, this Saturday at 10am EST. Toid's Links https://toidsdiyaudio.com/ https://www.facebook.com/123Toid/

Extensive study of IMD (and THD) distortions on 4 amplifiers with different topology THD+N (SINAD) at 1kHz and 5W power has become a comparison measure of amplifier parameters here in ASR. I would like to demonstrate my deep persuasion that much more complex view of amplifiers distortion...
