Amplifier SINAD list ASR + 3rd parties

[Matias]

A special mention to the value of the Hypex NCore NC502MP module. It trades a little distortion for more power and half the price or less of the top amplifiers. It is one hell of a deal imo, and that is why I bought mine from Apollon, but also check out Buckeye (US), Audiophonics (EU) and March (AU).

Hi-Fi News also uses distortion (THD) only, not THD+N, so not comparable. Unfortunately I had to remove several entries and replace a few with other sources. Down to 212 amps again....

Added a histogram to give an overview.

I wish to remove the decimals from the X axis... Anyone?

For Google Sheets, go into the Chart Editor, click on Customize, then Horizontal Axis and look at the bottom for Number Format, where you an specify it to match your source (I think that's the default) or something else.

There is no Number Format option for me.

So for my chart:

Then the bottom of the Horizontal Axis section:

You get this:

Then this:

The first option should give you what you want.

Just played around with it. Seems to be built-in for histograms, strangely.

 

[Matias]

Reported to Google, let's see if they improve this eventually.

Also special mention to the Purifi EVAL-1, up there in SINAD, good power and now offered finished by VTV for 980 usd. Great value!

Updated the prices for the Hypex NCore MP modules based on buying the plate amp with the module inside. OEMs probably can order this cheaper but today this is the only way an individual can buy an unfinished amp module.

Thank you for this. Really great work!

Fixed Hegel H30. 1 zero wrong made it stand out from all their series in the bottom of the list, now it is back where it belongs.
Again let me know if you find errors. In all this typing mistakes were made.

@Matias
thx for the chart i love it.
Any chance to add power amplifier
atoll am400?

Thanks. I would if you send me its measurements, I could not find it.

oh ok sorry will look for them

@Matias

yep can’t find neither just wanted to know if this was a good well designed amplifier?

I can't say based on their specs and never having heard it, sorry.

Thank you for your work in putting all these review in one table.

Concerning the Loxjie A30, you have put it at a SINAD 90 (quote: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ital-power-amplifier.16142/page-3#post-552407).
However, Amir measured it and found SINAD is at 82 (digital): https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/loxjie-a30-amplifier-review.17547/

Also, effective power output differs.

I wanted to compare amplifiers measured elsewhere to the ASR standard measurements

Good job mate.

This part is rather amusing though;

MBL Reference 9011 monoblock 0.0014% 97 870 106,000 Stereophile
Hypex NCore NC502MP 0.0015% 96 500 600 Hypex
