Hypex Nilai500DIY Amplifier Review

[Salt]

Those are the two primary Dutch speaking/writing outlets that peddle the exact nonsense that @CorD fell for. The kind thing here is to tell them to stop getting their information there.

Certainly I'm 'old' enough on/in/with ASR (and elsewhere ) to see this, but You should give a new member (even from Niederland ) a chance to check through the forum and find out some own (new?) findings.
Btw. here, over the border, the speaking/writing outlets are d(r)ying out ... probably because most of all are satisfied with spotify via boombox or BT-inear...

Why even argue with the guy? Virtually every thread turns into the same debate. I like to follow threads for technical information I shouldn't have to unwatch threads because members gang up on someone about their experience and carry on for pages and pages. Just ignore if you don't agree.

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

I promise you it wasn't. There is no physical mechanism for a switch (if it is working) to alter the sound.

Also my daugther heard a better sound.

Most likely either she told you what she thought you wanted to hear - or you had convinced her to expect a change, so she did.

Perceptive biases can make us (and you, and your daughter) think we are hearing such changes even when there are no changes in the sound waves to be heard. It is why the only scientifically valid listening tests are controlled, level matched and blind.

Just ignore if you don't agree.

Not an option. People posting misinformation, even if genuinely believed - if they are not corrected, will just reinforce the incorrect beliefs of others who come here. Who will go on to do the same thing.

Before you know it this place will just become another swamp of audiophillia like all the subjective audio forums.

Those of use who value this place for it's fact/science/engineering based discussion can't let that happen.

We can, however, continue to be kind while correcting falsehoods.

Enforcement by reacting: you and I and others know about ...

Why even argue with the guy?

Are we arguing? I think most of us are trying to educate.

Just ignore if you don't agree.

Fine for politics or taste, but not how science works.

 

[BeeKay]

I think you watch too much Hans van Beekhuyzen!

Of which almost any amount of time invested is time wasted. Is he still around?

Yes and no
When you read unrealistic comments, we ça. Also attempt to teach the one that lacks knowledge

Remember the S in ASR

Yes but make your point and be done with it. They're not going to convince someone who believes otherwise. These same guys always have to get the last word in and never let it go and the redundant monotony goes on for many pages. Watch how they have to get the last word in responding to me.

How do you know that? We seem to have a bunch of people here who have joined as believers, but started questioning their beliefs based on the pushback.

Watch how they have to get the last word in responding to me.

"You're so vain you probably think this answer is about you".

About bi-amping, DonH56 wrote an excellent article

Bi-amping 101

This article provides a quick look at how bi-amplification works. The conventional scheme is to split the signal into two frequency bands before the power amplifiers that drive the speakers. The bass (LF) amp sees only LF signals and drives only the LF driver (woofer). The treble (HF) amp sees...

As a summary: "So, there are some potential benefits using passive bi-amping, but I suspect they are inaudible (I have not tried passive bi-amping so cannot say). And a lot of drawbacks."

 

[Gremlins]

So many comments on the net say that biamping do not provide listening value added

The only benefit would be that the bigger amp is dedicated to bass management and lighter amp to higher fréquencies so that power needs are correctly assigned

Or you just get one amp that has the power you need. It's unlikely that the extra 1 or 2dB sent to the higher frequencies is going to make the difference.

And if you really want 2 amps get ones that you can bridge, for up to 6db extra power across the board, as long as your speakers aren't super low impedance.

I like the way the front plate is fixed in place. Not as clean as having internal screws — in fact, I do not like the fact that many screws are visible on the bottom — but in normal use there are no visible screws.
