power

I've been after a better bench supply for a while, as my usual one runs out of amps and/or volts when testing power amp modules. When I saw this 60V/20A supply on sale I thought I had to try it. We are talking US$130 shipped for 1200W of power. Too good to be true? Let's find out! I have a...

Hi, I have PS Audio Dectet plugged into a Monster Pro 3500 to provide enough outlets. Not all of my components have a trigger input, so I must for instance turn on four monoblocks and another amp for the subs every time I want music or HT. This makes the whole system less family-friendly than...

I just bought a Wiim amp and Kef R3 metas.I will be listening to the speakers around 3 meters away from them. I have looked at the specs and the amp should deliver enough power. But then i read some articles saying that the Kef R3 needs a beefier amp. So now i am confused.

I'm looking for a DAP to conserve battery for my iPhone, and something portable to use for the thieaudio monarch MKIIIs as well as doubling for use with the HD800s at home. I'm just looking at the power requirements and narrowed it down to a few DAPs Sony NW-A306 or NW-ZX707 or Fiio M11 ESS...

I would like to begin with my setting: I am connecting a Topping E70 (ESS 9028 Pro, possibly that chip operates at 1 watt with highest sample rate?) to two KH80 monitor speakers (200W maximum power for each, 114dB). Sampling 32 bit and 96kHz. However, I am listening at only 0.95m, and I control...

I was set on buying the Luxman 595 aes amp. Then I saw this youtube video comparing the Luxman 595 to the Accuphase E-650. I found I liked the Accuphase E 650 sound more. Then I was considering the E-650 instead. But then I found this other video where the guy compared the Luxman 590 AXii to the...

Firstly, I would like to say, this is my first Fosi Audio product. And so I would like to mention that the build quality and the sound is great, no clicks or pops, and no dreaded white noise whilst on standby. Especially at the price. I've definetly been swooned. Now my actual question is...

Hi! I am looking for an amp to complement The Revel Concerta2 speakers. The Cambridge Audio AXR100 is number 1 on my list, but I got second thoughts. I tend to keep my work environment eco-friendly, low-power consumption etc I prefer to use mobile devices and keep energy costs as low as I can...

Heya, there's a couple of threads asking about safe listening levels and people asking about voltage/power requirements in almost any amp/headphone thread. Here's my take on this: Noise Exposure Limits The EPA and WHO recommend that noise should be kept below 70 dBA over 24 hours and below 75...

I have a digital piano with LINE OUT. I also have a mini amplifier named "pam8610" (cheap and very common) which has LINE IN. I have 2 power supplies, each one with 12V and 5A. When I connect each power supply to each device (one power supply to the piano and the other power supply to the mini...

Selling my Benchmark AHB2, as I have downsized / simplified my setup and moved to a pair of Kef LS60s. The unit has a black faceplate (non-rackmount version), and 2 Benchmark 10 ft NL2 speaker cables are included. The unit is in great condition, and it has never given me any problems. Original...

I live in a 220V 50Hz country (Bangladesh) with several mains issues and I was wondering what I can do to intercept the mains current to fix issues, through some intervention at the breaker level. I don't expect an audio improvement, but I do want to make sure my equipment lasts as long as...

Hi everyone! I recently got a very good deal on the DT 990 600 Ohm Version and finally found a reasonably priced amp that I hope will drive it. Here's what I got: HP: DT 990 Edition 600 Ohm - ( As new / 90$ ) Amp: Topping A50s ( Used / 105 $ ) - Haven't bought this one yet. Old Interface...

Hey guys, I think I have a power issue in my cinema room. I recently hooked up a second BK XLS200 Mk2 subwoofer but I'm bumping into something I can't yet wrap my head around. I hope this is the right place to ask for advice and learn. :) Thanks in advance! The new subwoofer I added has a...

I recently watched a video by PS Audio's Paul McGowan where he recommends leaving your (non-tube) amplifier on indefinitely. He argues that the daily on-off cycles degrades the unit over time. Apparently PS Audio has made and maybe still makes, amplifiers with no on/off switch. So my question...

Speakers are usually able to accept quite high impulse power and measuring of speaker distortion by sine bursts would show if we are still in relatively linear region. The pain of sine burst distortion measurement is in length of the burst, which may not be long enough to get sufficient...
