Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: Ok, I won't use my ncore for a shaker table....Thanks.

There have been 2 or 3 generations of 'd' since my experience with the ASP modules.
No doubt some improvements MUST have been made. And in complete honesty, I was more than satisfied for quite a few years. It was only when I entered the final phases of my setup that I decided to move on. The High Frequency interaction of some sort with my ordinarilly benign-load panels went away with the addition of more traditional amps.

I don't know that 'half bridge' and 'full bridge' designs are not still the basis of these amps.

I'm not, I hope, stereotyping. It is simply physics that you have a given output at a given efficiency resulting in Heat which must be dissipated in some fashion. That the Hypex stuff actually DOES seem to be 'load invariant' IS a big improvement. I'm thinking the output Zobel of my amp WAS the source of my eventual difficulties.

I urge you to read the DataSheets from BOTH Hypex and B&O. The older modules from B&O have time limits AND power limits vs the 'rated' power. The Hypex stuff makes a point of the heat sink / temps being, if not an 'issue', than at least a design point to be considered.
Too much is never enough
