Hypex Nilai500DIY Amplifier Review

[antcollinet]

One benefit of bi-application is that it increases the overall deliverable power to your speakers.

Not so much though if a two way speaker, or any speaker where one of the amps drive only the tweeter. Even mid range and tweeter are probably going to take much less power than bass units, depending on where the crossovers are.

In any case, much more cost effective to get an amp that already has that 0.5dB or so of extra power you can get from bi-amping with a second amp.

 

[Gremlins]

Just curious, but why?

Because he might have read on forums from premium audiophiles it would transform his listening session

 

[SIY]

For example some people mignt prefer a warmer sounding (tube like) for the high range and a very tight (high damping factor) amp for the low range.

That honestly makes no sense to me whatever.

same.

Omdat hij op forums van premium audiofielen had kunnen lezen dat zijn luistersessie zou transformeren

this is how most gossip begins

I assume you use google translate (or some other machine translation service), but it might be good to use it both ways.

Thanks!

Done., excuses for this error.

Are you sûre??
I quote your message :

I have a good sound but I am trying for still a better sound. What I already did:

A new power supply for the amplifier,

Cables of the amplifier power supply renewed,

A new switch with power supply,

New internet cable installed,

New speaker cables installed,

Banana plugs renewed.


Unquote

So, so, so .. you want to improve your sound and you figured that to do so you would need new banana plugs + new speaker câbles + new internet cable+ new power supply câble + new power supply

Ok, ok, ok : where did you get these ideas to improve your sound?


To m'y understanding, i did not beging a gossip... I just understand where you come from to improve your sound

Btw: 0 of your renew did improve anything, it is exactly the same sound as before, are you aware of it?

 

[CorD]

Nope, this is not write.

When I changed the switch for internet including power supply, the sound was much better.
Also when I bought an power supply current for the amplifier. I heard a better sound.


Also my daugther heard a better sound.

All the other changes I did cause I liked it, not for a better sound.

"Heard", as in "perceived". No way to tell if there was any change in the actual sound wave, or if the change was between your ears.

Certainly there might have been flawed components that now are exchanged? Who knows?
No need to be harsh.

Could have. Indeed, who knows? Not being harsh, just pointing out facts. Again a reminder about the "S" in "ASR".

 

[CorD]

defecte

Yes that`s indeed possible.

 

[Julf]

Yes that`s indeed possible.

That is why we engineers insist on objective verification. As you are Dutch, remember the saying "meten is weten" - "to measure is to know". Otherwise it is just perception/belief.

@Julf , Now I see your Title:

To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard. In this fast-growing art of 'high fidelity' the quackery will bear a solid gilt edge that will fool many people" - Paul W Klipsch, 1953.



Now I understand!

 

[voodooless]

When I changed the switch for internet including power supply, the sound was much better.

That is highly unlikely.

Also when I bought an power supply current for the amplifier. I heard a better sound.

What power supply did you exchange for which other one? Also here, any change is highly unlikely, except for maybe more power? At normal levels, this would not make any difference, though.

I think you watch too much Hans van Beekhuyzen!

Now I understand!

I am an engineer. I could also have used the famous Richard P. Feynman quote:

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.”

Ouch! That is quite an insult!

Alpha Audio then?
