Any really compact amps?
no worries... the part about the covers was dead-on!
JD David wrote: Thanks, John. I misunderstood... David UnderTheDash.com "John Durbin" wrote in message ... bullcrap again... are you guessing at this stuff, or has someone been spinning you stories? Blaupunkt "buys" amps that use Tripath chips from a factory in Asia ... the factory buys the chips from Tripath, or their parts distributor. Tripath amps are a modified class D design, and Tripath is a wholely separate company, nothing to do with Blade. Tripath created and owns their designs, and they make chips for what they call "class T" amps which use a digital conversion to the input signal and then use that to steer the power supply for better efficiency and a wider usable frequency bandwidth. Blade was a brand owned by Indigo, a Canadian company. Blade amps used a technology they called "BASH" which essentially was an analog solution that allowed the input signal to be delayed long enough to use it to steer the power supply rails so the amp didn't have full rail voltage except during peaks. Very efficient, so you got class AB sonic characteristics with class D efficiency. They're still selling the stuff to home audio companies for powered subwoofers, if you look around you'll see "BASH" specified on the amp spec for a couple of products. JD David wrote: Yeah, I understand that Blaupunkt purchased/licensed the 'tri-path' technology from Blade amps (from Canada) several years ago. The Blaupunkt models can be removed from the plastic and installed without much (if any!) ventilation... David UnderTheDash.com "Mike" wrote in message .. . Take a look at Blaupunkt -- Mike "Monte Kay" wrote in message ... Hi everyone... Are there any tiny compact car amplifiers out there? I once bought I think it was a Nakamichi amp about 14 watt's/ch as I recall that was only a little bigger than a pack of cigarettes. Does anything like that exist today? Thanks, Monte |
