A Class D audio amplifier is basically a switching amplifier or PWM amplifier. There are a number of different classes of amplifiers. We will take a look at the definitions for the main ...

Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

Understand the basic audio components of a Hi-Fi stereo system so you know what to look for when shopping for audiophile equipment. Amplifier. Amp. Preamp. Integrated amp. Phono stage. Tube amplifier.

If you know anything about a transistor, it’s probably that it’s a three terminal device whose output pin forms part of a potential divider whose state is dependent on what is presented to its input ...

The Cherry Audio MEGAschino Mk2 Standard Edition Class D Amplifier is energy efficient, boasting SOTA specs and gobs of power output (>400wpc, 8 ohms). Is it worth the $6k price? Read our review. The ...

As we’ve traced our no-nonsense path through the world of Hi-Fi audio, we’ve started with the listener, understood the limitations of the human ear, and thence proceeded to the loudspeaker. We’ve ...

You could argue that the integrated amplifier is arguably the most critical component in modern hi-fi. It combines a power amplifier, a built-in phono preamplifier (which you need to connect a ...

I suspect a substantial number of people have an old pair of speakers sitting in storage: hand-me-downs from a family member, perhaps, or the remnants of a stereo of their youth. Such speakers can be ...

Just today I read on an internet forum a post by a "hot" new manufacturer of class D amplifiers saying that "the only way to solve the interference problem is to put the amplifier in a completely ...
