It works greatWill have to listen to my vinyl thru the Axe-Fx III now - we may need a new "FAS HiFi" model with some de-crackle parameters.
Yeah I know there are tons of class D amps out there, but it's not clear to me yet if they are all voltage-controlled or current-controlled. Cliff's comment leads me to believe the majority (all of them?) are voltage-mode. I was trying to find papers on current-mode class D amps to learn more about them.
If you want this amp , put a 5 band eq, turn the 3rd slider all way down . Done .
Yup, same here. Probably it hasn't made its way into audio yet, or maybe current amplifiers will reintroduce some issues that people and manufacturers don't want to deal with (e.g. frequency response affected by the speaker impedance curve)
Just advertise it as audiophile grade amplifiers. You can ask whatever you want and somebody will pay it just to have this epiphany-born innovative technology.
Not that I understand any more of that than what the words mean in non-technical English, but I wouldn't think voice coil temperature would change much until the speaker was running hard for a fair while.
I think they have lower expectations of what their teams can and will deliver, and a willingness to let their customers live with less.
So audiophile terms like "tube warmth", "3D soundstage", and "realism" etc. aren't complete BS??
My Helix Floor has been in the shop for almost six months waiting on a replacement board that Line 6/Yamaha can't deliver. As soon as I get it back I'm selling it to some poor sucker^H^H^H^H^H^Hsoul. There's no way it will approach the quality of sound or build Fractal's products already have.This. Line 6 products was a mainstay in rig over the past few decades. I was getting upset as a Helix owner not know when anything new was dropping or what was planned. Their forums are pretty closed and anytime I'd ask a question they would just refer to some generic tutorial video or something. The community here is what sold on buying FAS equipment until either they don't exist or I don't exist. The first won't happen because the product is too good
Supposedly that's what Boss is doing in their Nextone solid-state amps. They have a DSP chip that watches the speaker's impedance and adjusts parameters in the power-amplifier on the fly. I had one, and, at half-volume on up, when the speaker was starting to work, it'd sound and feel like its power amp was tube based.
