Lol, nice when a liberal source evaluates fox. My taxes went up under Obama btw.

LOL

Why don't you change a third variable like the box too and then further misapply what you are reading. Funny to compare a Q to a fart cannon as well. There will be a huge difference, but not sure if it is the type you are looking for.

Ha, they don't like having their picture taken. You want pictures of door after door after door or what? lol

Sean, do you ever go sight seeing while you are there? On my way to Amsterdam for some sightseeing right now, meeting my sisters husband there as well.

There is snow here in Germany as well. Amazing how poorly they clear the raods btw.

There is one "other" use for a line driver. If you have 10 amps all connected to one output and the output voltage drive isn't enough to reach a point on the input stage of the amplifier to actually allow it to reach reach power. Otherwise in any modern amp as stated above there is no benefit and IMO anything extra in the signal path that isn't there for a reason is a terrible thing. KISS.

SPL = Sound Pressure Level. That is ALL your ear "feels" although most people call that feeling hearing. Your argument is absurd. Level comparing in a non-blind AB is a joke. Do your tests right and then report otherwise keep drinking the psychoacoustic koolaid.

Save yourself the Time, because honestly i really don't care. You don't know what they paid for it, and I don't know either. I only know what they said, and I don't really care. They test some of the CLEANEST amps on the planet and the equipment they use is capable of testing as low as .0003? or is it .00003 THD %. So if it works for them, who am i to judge? I saw him test a different amp (the SE4000) on the SAME SETUP that destroyed the RF2500 from top to bottom in Quality and Power. I don't need to see anything else. It was all I needed to see. The RF 2500 performed well within the range it is spec'd out to be on the original birth sheet and that's plenty good enough for me. There's A LOT worse amps out there then the RF 2500 and I already know the RF power series amps put out good power. Ive installed plenty of them to know first hand. No worries hadn't planned on it. And no, I don't know what they paid for it, but YES I do know what they go for used on the open market and if your numbers are right he got raped by an order of magnitude. I know, perhaps being in the Test & Measurement industry for the past 17 years has jaded me. I wasn't eloquent with my point. Any Metrologist that has ANY idea of how to specify anything will realize that there is no such thing as accuracy, only uncertainty. My comments were directly related to the fact that this was 100% left out of the reported numbers which were reported in a fashion that is WAY beyond their uncertainty. Sort of like using a tape measure and stating that whatever you measure is 11.325768907 inches. Anyone who does that and tries to report it in a scientific fashion is a moron and is not capable of operating the tape measure. The analogy holds to higher precision equipment. Either report significant digits or the uncertainty otherwise the results are dubious. Depending on the setup above the significant digits could be all the way out to the first number... If I knew the setup and operator it would be easy to calculate, but I don't really care. Nothing wrong with the amp, but all sorts of wrong with the way the results are presented.

Got the news the snows are mounted and ready for when I get home. The AMG is now a snowmobile pulling machine!!

Off to Amsterdam in a couple hours to meet my brother in law and 'walk' around

Spent 3 hours in a roman bath last night. I feel refreshed.

Details...

You grossly overestimated the price of the test gear, will that perform within some uncertainty to do the test? Yes, depending on the load and THD algorithm. Too late here in Germany to bother looking up how that AP calculates it.

Welcome back!

Who cares for daily.

TL, yes? Ear, no. How much NO ONE WILL KNOW. You really know more than this :(

Why such a small beer? pussy

I watched him test a Arc Audio SE4000 also... Pulled 390amps and put out 4100 watts BEFORE..... BEFORE.... and I repeat BEFORE the THD level went above .005! THATS BEFORE IT WENT ABOVE .005% THD. The analyzer they were using was over $40,000 and the power supplies were $22,000 ea... they had 4 of them. Each putting out 290amps.... in the picture you can see the TWO 0 guage lines and ground lines... that was 580 amps of current. Held solid at 14.4v. I saw it all. Their equipment is legit, and there isn't an amp on the planet in the same class of quality and clarity on the same level as the ARC AUDIO SE SERIES " THAT I KNOW OF ". ON TOP OF THAT, the SE4000 they tested is Rated and also put out 4,000 watts @ 12 volts! 12 volts to 14.4v didn't matter, still held a .005% THD level... if not, they don't pass QC.... If that level of testing doesn't tell you anything about their equipment, then IDK... maybe you need to go there for yourself and believe for yourself..... What analyzer was it? Same with the power supplies, not exactly expensive for lab supplies and yes I know I used to be the Elgar/Sorensen rep. CEA compliance doesn't require any of that btw.

Linky no work here, forbotten

Obviously you don't understand hearing OR cabin gain. It won't depend and NO you CAN'T hear it....or perhaps you sell snake oil as well.

Been a frustrating but successful in the end week. One more day of whoopass

How about meanwhile in Germany...with a picture of me kicking some Kraut ass.

Don't talk about me like that

CEA-2006 specifications are a joke. Before accepting ANY validity in the Arc measurements knowing what they used for a load and a distortion analyzer is 100% required. Otherwise that could easily be off by a crap ton.
