New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Newcomer here. I wonder why nobody has posted in the original E mat thread in a long time. I will copy my post to the new thread--New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies.My perspective is as a classical violinist who has performed solo in c... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Newcomer here.  I wonder why nobody has posted here in a long time.  I will copy my post to the new thread--New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies.My perspective is as a classical violinist who has performed solo in concertos with orchestr... 
new GAN amplifier
George,You are correct that many amps, but I will add not just class D, will not keep doubling their maximum power output from 4 to 2 ohms.  Once the max current capability is reached, say at 4 ohms, then at 2 ohms the max power is only 50% of tha... 
new GAN amplifier
The doubling of output from 8 to 4 ohms suggests a good power supply.  Good for starters. 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Atmasphere,I follow what you are saying about how a voltage source SS amp invariant to impedance theoretically would sound bright driving an electrostatic speaker.  But in practice I don't find this to be the case.  Years ago, for fun, I put my to... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Atmasphere,You said, "But I don't agree about the 'best speaker you can afford' thing! The reason is simple- you may find that you have a preference for an amplifier technology- tubes for example- and if that is the case buying an incompatible spe... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Atmasphere,While you and Ric Schultz are technically correct that higher impedance speakers get better performance from amps than low impedance speakers, this ignores the overwhelming superiority of low impedance electrostatics for most musical cr... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
atmasphere,Of course you can take my word for anything I say I hear.  Also, because I am not in the business I tell things like it is without concern for politics.  Actually, I use an EQ to drastically boost HF because as a violinist hearing thing... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
George,You said "This Stereophile’s JA’s statement, is the typical case where a 25w amp like the ML2’s with doubling capable wattage current will drive a pig of a load like these Alexia’s and the OP’s speaker "to a given level" with perfection bet... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
golfnutz,In my post, I was not defensive about my Mytek Brooklyn amp.  I thanked you for quoting Stereophile measurements whose power capabilities are at odds with the excellent sound quality described in the review and confirmed by my listening. ... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
golfnutz,Thanks for quoting Stereophile on my Mytek Brooklyn amp.  George would say it is a mediocre amp because it doesn't increase its output capability much as the impedance is lowered.  SO WHAT?  It is a budget amp which happens to have accura... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
mcreyn--correct. 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
George,So what that "a good BJT amp will always drive into these sub 2ohm low impedance’s and do the wattage doubling act better than a Mosfet Class-D even GaN based one The best linear amps that can do it are all BJ" blah blah.  The musical resol... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
George,I read what anybody has to say, but the only thing I trust is my own EARS.  Do you believe the Electronic Institute rather than your ears?  If so, then you believe your ears don't matter and therefore you have lost credibility.  I bet that ... 
Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205
tweak1,Are you saying that your friend's hard drive version of the same recordings on CD sound superior to the CD?  In what way?
