power amp

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...

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...

Hey everyone, second post here. I bought a used Denon S540H along with two KEF Q150 speakers, and while the sound is pretty great there is a lot of static noise that is coming through at medium-to-high volumes. I also feel like the sound could be a lot better. Aside from that, I hate the Heos...

All, One of my customers send me this amplifier interested in how it will compare against the Starkrimson Stereo Ultra. Anyway I figured I would also post the measurements here for everybody's benefit. This amplifier is current selling for $595.00 on amazon All measurements are with 8ohm...

I can’t find any outlaw 2200 or 2220’s on the used market, so I’m considering something different for my center channel. I can across this episode ea-amp-2d-150a for $160 shipped but can’t seem to find any real reviews or amp Dyno info or anything on it. It claims to push 280 watts in bridged...

Hi folks, greetings from Berlin! due to a pretty big upgrade in my hifi system I came to occupy myself with looking for a fitting power amp. The speakers are Nubert NuVero 170 which are said to be very power hungry with 85db/1W and mercilessly monitor like (they are). I was powering them with a...

Hi, I found this amp a couple of months ago for what seemed like a very good price. (270€ together with the AVP-8500 preamp which I immediately sold for 135€) I've been rather happy with it but it does produce a buzzing noise both on the speaker outputs and directly from the amp. At my typical...
