I have a good grasp on stereo and monoblocks but is there a difference between dual channel and dual mono? Or are the same thing with different names?
Sounds like dual mono is two monoblocks under the same hood but sharing the same wall socket i.e. one power cord.
Is eliminating crosstalk a strong enough argument for monoblocks? Or just a minor step in search of the ideal amplifier/output.
Having punted the purchase of PS Audio M1200s it appears that even the stereo units from names like Hypex and Nord out perform the M1200 monoblocks for less money.
I just need a solid understanding of dual channel and dual mono design if different and benefits as well as disadvantages in order to intelligently navigate those sites and ask detailed questions.
A Hypex NC1200 is described as Monoblock yet has left and right inputs as well as left and right outputs. ???
I searched for a discussion on dual channel vs dual mono but came up dry. Perhaps they are one in the same.
