Hypex Nilai500DIY Amplifier Review

[Sokel]

...without VAT.
In Europe, prices are usually listed with VAT included, so this might be confusing.
I see a fully mounted (mono) amp for 1k€ VAT included.

Yep.
1499 euro for stereo 1000 euro for mono tax included.

Good amp, but a serious step up for the price of the Hypex NC400 and some of the full builds that are availble of Hypex modules of similar power. Lke said you can get very good builds from Purifi modules with more power and no kit for similar prices. So the best deal arround they are not. But on it's own, it's a great clean amp like we would expect from Hypex.

Inflation plays a role too. All kit is getting much more expensive lately.

boXem Arthur 4222/E1 Amplifier Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the boXem Audio Arthur 4222/E1 mono power amplifier. It was sent to me by the company and costs €1,490.00. The design is quintessential European with gray body and colorful front panel which I like. The only power button is on the back: Fortunately...

Awesome amp!!

How exactly that amazing D-class SINAD is beinf stated at 112 dB if it turns into 80 dB pumpkin @10 kHz+?
Seems a bit tricky and yes, not this amp alone, not Hypex alone - almost all of them.
And yes again, 80 dB is okay too.
Question is if it's correct to mark such amp as a 110 dB+

Remember that this is THD, meaning the harmonics of 10 kHz are 20 kHz, 30 kHz, etc and 15 kHz are 30 kHz, 45 kHz, etc.

This is intentional by design: maximize feedback loop where it is audible and let it go where it is inaudible.

I don't need a new amp. I don't need a new amp

Sounds like you need a dual mono amp!

@amrim what about switch on/off pop noises graph? Thanks for the review!

Big power, very linear. Many speakers can sound their best on amps with a lot of power, even if you don't play them at disco-party levels. Of course, the amp has be to good at lower power levels, too. There are more expensive amps out there- MANY of them - and some are MUCH more expensive - but I don't think any of them can do anything this amp can't do. (Except maybe distort)

I have some hypex 400 watt mono amps and I love them.

No,that's the old stability test,not the new one with on and off.
The new one is like this:

Can you see on off here?

Can you see on off here?

No only on. That’s obvious. I just pointed it out in case you overlooked it. No need to be snarky.

 

[BR52]

No miss leading ok.

This is intentional by design: maximize feedback loop where it is audible and let it go where it is inaudible.

So the significantly rising distortion at higher frequencies is a function of Class D and would not be present on the Benchmark AHB2? No such analysis was provided in the ASR AHB2 review.

Thanks.

Benchmark is no class D

Not all class D but rather those that implement the feedback loop in such a way. This is FAQ... Over and over again.

What is really interesting is that it follows purifi's measurements almost like a photo-copy
(don't be misleaded by Purifi's wider X axis of the graph):
