Nobody ever claims 2 voltage sources were in series. It's a push/pull scenario with the load in series between the two voltage sources. There are BTLs and parallel amp options which allows for doubling the current. I believe some Class D modules allow the designer to implement both BTL and...

I think we are all on the same page here. BTL theoretically doubles voltage which should quadruple power but it rarely ever does due to current limiting. I usually measure 2X the power with a BTL in most products. Virtually EVERY manufacturer that does BTL in consumer audio states the load...

It's all good and thanks for understanding.

That's unfortunate they didn't respond to you and hopefully lessons were learned by them from this whole ordeal. The 8CH version looks like a really good value as well. Looking forward to hearing feedback from users on these new amps.

Most AVRs and processors downs ample to 48khz either for room correction or bass management. It's a non issue.

I wasn't shielding anyone. This site was being attacked by Amir and his disciples about our preview article because they couldn't figure out it wasn't a review despite the fact that the article said a review was forthcoming. Again I'm done rehashing the AMIR and ASR stuff and this thread needs...

Thet we held back a test report bc the results were unflattering. We held the report back until we could either test another sample or verify the results with the manufacturer. I really can't believe this continues on a loop for almost a year.

The point is he and his fans accused us of the very same thing he apparently does too.

I really don't care what keyboard commandos do on their forum. It's their playhouse. Starke messed up for sure. I'm glad they fixed the situation. But some will continue beating them down. I suppose it feels good. It's not my thing. Had Starke produced another lemon, I would have cut them off...

Good points. I just don't have any good vibes about AMIR after the dealings I've had with him. He likes to point fingers at others regarding conflicts of interest but at the same time doesn't make it very clear on his own website that he sells Revel and other Harman products he reviews. Bottom...

It's a double edged sword. AMIR created a religion around SINAD and boils down product performance almost solely on that. It's academic and not real world on any level. We already informed Starke about the power issue on the older amp and were waiting on a 2nd unit to confirm if there was a...

That bastard beat me out :p

This is a pretty slick deal from Starke Sound

Cat is out of the bag, so I put this together to compliment the leak: https://www.audioholics.com/av-preamp-processor-reviews/marantz-av-10-amp-10

Everyone is well aware the company had a problem with the first generation amp not delivering rated power. AFAIK they refunded every customer that wasn't satisfied with the product and discontinued the amp. The new version meets power spec. AMIR likes to create a spectacle like he's a savior to...

A 60-day countdown has begun on FDA approved OTC consumer-grade hearing aids, so we should see new products hit the market as early as mid-October. But can hearing aids extend our hi-fi audio enjoyment into old age? And, will our auditory health become susceptible to audiophile snake oil claims...

All that matters is the amplitude response under various load conditions which we show in the Starke amp and my soon to publish NAD M23 amp. The NAD is completely load invariant. The Starke output impedance is affected by load at 20kHz but it's not jarring and likely inaudible as most...
