All amps which measure the SAME or just for the sake of argument, within maybe 2db of each other will NOT provide the same power into a REACTIVE LOAD.
This is why specs should be ignored, mostly.īUT. Nice? Easy? Convenient? Yes to all threeĪnd utter BS. In this case voltage and current RISE and FALL together. And here's WHY/Īmps may be classed as 'power into a resistor'.
A bit higher on these amps when paying attention but still unnoticable when listening to music or watching movies.įIRST and LAST: Amps DO or rather CAN sound different. The only difference is in the fan level noise. Last year, I experimented and sold a couple of Emo amps and purchased a Carvin amp for my surrounds and a QSC amp for my fronts. I've been running Emotiva amps since the beginning and have never been able to tell the difference in sound from any of them. An amp's purpose is to amplify sound, not color, change or modify it and any decent amp will do just that and nothing more!! Yes, there are differences, miniscule, and most unnoticable to the human ear (although maybe not to the human brain!! :-)). To me, it's no different than the argument about cables, ie. There is no difference between the smile of someone eating a Grilled Cheese Sandwich made with American Cheese, and that of someone eating Fillet Mignon at a high-end New York Restaurant: they're both Really Happy, and neither one is "better" then the other in this metric space.ġ6:16:09 GMT -5 cgolf said: All this talk, discussion and debate about different amps sounding different is a bunch of hogwash. In the end of the day, it's what you like that counts. I mentioned on the phone to, I think it might actually have been Lonnie, that the MPS-1 made my Vandersteen sound so much better, especially in the bass range - I felt like I had new speakers! He, whomever it was, responded regarding the effect of having decent Damping Factor.Īnd a lot of amplifiers sound different because they're explicitly and unapologetically not faithfully reproducing an amplified duplicate of their inputs.
(The module itself, not the amplified signal being sent to the speaker.) This gave me occasion to call Emotiva which resulted in a replacement. When I first got my MPS-1 way back in September 2007, one of the 7 EPM-300 Power Modules had a very slight hum. For instance, want really nice clean, controlled, punchy bass: pay attention to Damping Factor and Slew Rate, not just absolute power. Some of those measurements have real impact. Beginning as simply a place for Pierre Omidyar's girlfriend (now wife) to share her Pez passion and collection online, the site has become a multibillion-dollar business and operates in 30 countries.Amplifiers "shouldn't" sound different, but some of them do even to untrained ears. In 1995, in the year of Keith E Leedom's passing, on September 3rd, eBay was founded in San Jose California. It was much larger than expected and is due to the use of manmade chemicals. In 1985, Keith was 52 years old when in May, a paper published in Nature by three British scientists reported that a huge hole was discovered in the ozone layer over the Antarctic. The states quickly ratified the Amendment and it was signed into law on July 1st by President Richard Nixon. It was a response to the criticism that men could fight at 18, but not vote for the policies and politicians who sent them to war. In 1971, when he was 38 years old, in March, Congress passed the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which lowered the voting age to 18 (from 21). The flag was changed to display 49 stars. In 1959, he was 26 years old when on January 3rd, Alaska became the 49th state of the United States and the first state not a part of the contiguous United States. In his first 100 days, he asked Congress to repeal Prohibition (which they did), signed the Tennessee Valley Authority Act, signed legislation that paid commodity farmers to leave their fields fallow, thus ending surpluses and boosting prices, signed a bill that gave workers the right to unionize and bargain collectively for higher wages and better working conditions as well as suspending some antitrust laws and establishing a federally funded Public Works Administration, and won passage of 12 other major laws that helped the economy. Within 5 days of his administration, the Emergency Banking Act was passed - reorganizing banks and closing insolvent ones. In 1933, in the year that Keith E Leedom was born, the day after being inaugurated, the new President, Franklin Roosevelt, declared a four-day bank holiday to stop people from withdrawing their money from shaky banks (the bank run).
