Old School to now

Papermaker who has nothing vs Richard Clark who actually has documented test over YEARS.
Here OP. You will always have people that can't see reality when it punches them in the face. Also look at the last two recorded breaking SQ cars. Mark Eldridge and Scott Bulwalda. Plenty of info on both of those people on the net. Both used made in China class D amps. And there are countless more. I have a few wins myself with them. And I also know how to critical listen.

Richard Clark Amplifier Challenge FAQ
and how many of them play clean at 120-130 DB? or 140? how many are pushed to there limits? how many of those cars have the output signal measured/analized and overlapped to the original input signal as recorded in the studio?

 
no thats EXACTLY the point. i can get a autozone amp to do the same as a arc sig within it limits but how if actually controls the load is a WHOLE different story.. we dont listen the amp we listen to electromotive transducers. i can build a 100x2 with a ultra low THD that actually has terrible dampening and a terrible sonic signature after parts get hot and you start to drive it to its limits etc... AND NO head room isn't always the answer its simply properly designing the amplifier to SOUND GOOD not to have low THD or high dampening factor etc....
I got some unicorn nuttsack hair I'll sell you. You do know you can't hear 5% THD right?

See this is where you fail. 140db your ears are stressed. Panels are vibrating. Nothing is clean at that point. A clean signal is a clean signal. Hell speakers themselves cover up a lot of distortion.

im running a PG xenon with triple darlington output stage while it has flaws its definitely different and has a different set of problems that need be addressed. are you seeing the point yet or you still stuck on yesteryears stupid?

 
Lol no you can't. Again. Come on out in March. I have tuning disk that run the THD range. We can put money on what you hear blind folded.
its depends on the systems ability to distinguish it s well as the persons. some can some can't. unless you have extensive hearing its silly to try to hear differences on a system you never heard. the human threshold on average is 1%..

my hearing isn't as god as it used to be and frankly its lacking in some areas but there is a distinguishable difference between 1% and 2% THD..

Brother im sitting out here right now. Just tested the same track from .03 to 10%. You can't hear it. And my setup shows every flaw in a recording. Shoes moving on the floor. Jewelry moving. I know how to listen.

I'm stuck in reality. Again, come on out. You will completely change your mind. Trust I was once where you are. I thought class D was the devil. Until I swapped from a beloved JL slash to the DD.

ill honestly say i really have to hear it money. because ive palyed music since i was 8 years old. i'm pretty well seasoned in what sounds realistic and what distortion sounds like. untill you record the waveform coming out of the speakers and overlap that and compare i just refuse to believe it. a few years ago there was a blind test you could take called do you have the golden ear and out of 10 times i could hear the difference in the signal. if you don't know what your listing to you will never know what you shouldn't hear.. thats like saying i dont need to set my gains i cant hear 1% THD to 10% i know for a fact i can..

I'm the guy that listens to reference CDs with headphones in the dark and takes notes. I got a bit of skill

I got some install detail stuff to do over the holiday. Techflex, more foam, wire wraps, shrink wrap. Should clean it up a bit. I was waiting till I was satisfied enough to leave it alone.
