Despite 100 hours of German lessons by a language teacher who lived in Austria for 10 years and living out there myself for 2 years, I still struggled with the language and grammar.
Were you there?

do you think this amp could be a good replacement for my class A tubes on my klipschorn?
I should try it, i have an smsl sa300, i know the pa5 is infinitely better,but in the near feature i would like to change my tube amp Soo i could get some money,the only reason I like it because tubes are dopeI run a Class A SET (2A3 tube) system into efficient speakers. I substituted a small class D amp to see what it would sound like and was very impressed. I would expect the PA5 to do an excellent job.
Why? Because it had no volume control? If that's the problem just set the PA5 to max (or wherever) and ignore it from then on, surely.It was easier with the Adcom 555
PA5 showed up tonight. Did a quick check of sound and realized that I need to readjust my subwoofer to get everything sounding right. I now have to dial in both my pre amp volume level and that of the PA5 along with the DSP controls on the sub. It was easier with the Adcom 555 amd... Sound measurement mic and software is not on my list of things to get.
Why would you want to leave it on stand-by? turning it off is that simple, you save energy and the equipment lasts longerHi!
I don't understand - does it have a standby mode (power saving)?
If yes, how does it turn on? Without a signal, it warms up all night just like at maximum volume.
It should be, assuming your listening room isn't very large and you don't like to drive them to deafening levels.Hi guys,
my KEF LS50 wireless speakers broke 1 month after the warranty expired.. I'm never buying active speakers again!
Just ordered their Q950 towers to get some more bass for home cinema.
Would this amplifier be powerful enough to get a good bass sound out of a tower?
Their specified sensitivity is 91dB (2.83V/1m).
I'm in love with my D90/A90 stack for headphone use, and this looks to be another gem from Topping.
Would be incredible to not have to repair the pot on my old 30kg 1993 Yamaha DSP A-1000, that monster doesn't even fit in my media console.
Settled? No. Something is never settled unless its tested.Ok so at this point despite pma or restorer john or ryanmh1 bringing the same point up, we don't need 5w+ testing at 19+20khz for pa5. This is settled? Can we agree and move on and not randomly bring it up a week later?
Settled? No. Something is never settled unless its tested.
I can understand the reservations about 20kHz harmonics being inaudible. They are. And the concerns about high power 19kHZ+20kHz being realistic to program. It isn't. But to prove the known flags for IMD do not actually cause IMD, just test more! Admittedly, we know a lot more about what bad 20kHz signals with standard AB amps than we do with various Class D designs. So, do a twin tone test using a 9kHz and and 11kHz tone or 7kHz and 13kHz at 5W and 50W and see what 2nd/3rd/4th order stuff pops up (thus avoiding the gripes about the 19kHz/20kHZ twin tone putting all the hash in the "inaudible" range). Better yet, do a power sweep. Restrict test bandwidth to 20kHz. Fine. Topping could do this and post it. If it is without fault, case closed. If not, test a purifi, benchmark, an aiyima, and a class AB with two pole compensation, and another standard Miller compensation AB. If Topping wins the whole thing, I would not be surprised to see 100 more orders get placed, since literally everything just got hammered by Topping's little Class D composite amp, or whatever the thing is.
If you really want subjectivists or objectivist skeptics to shut up, you need to deal with the problems that have already been measured, or stop making claims about how much better an amp with .1% measured THD at 20kHz is since we know that can cause problems. It's on Topping to prove it doesn't. Or you can just ignore the technical insights of the people on this forum who understand enough to raise these questions. Ignoring it isn't exactly "sciencey" and all. I suppose it does work for a lot of the subjectivist rags, though, so why not...
(Fair question: Is this too high a standard? Arguably. But when Benchmark did what they did, the product got tested heavily as well...)
"The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run."This is an obsession and not healthy. You will never be satisfied.
Yup, the Benchmark AHB2 costs > 10x the cost of the PA5 and is aimed at a different market (primarily pro-audio which is why they offer 19" rack mount options), so yes, it was heavily tested.Settled? No. Something is never settled unless its tested.
