PG do you have a link to a source for this? Just picked up the old Volt for the hell of it and want to use my Pyramid 12v power supply.But if you use a regulated power supply you'll need one of these to make the connection.
Perfect! Thank you. Looking forward to hearing this thing even though it’s not the Volt+D. Figured I’d save a few bucks and take a shot especially since my speakers are pretty efficient.
Glad to have both Volts in the same room.
Nice! What do you find to be the biggest difference between the two as far as sound signature and SQ go?
That's by far the worse sounding class D amp I've had around here. Shouty, noisy (distortion I'd say) and cheap sounding. But that's with efficient speakers. I've assumed it's the gain.I've added a Breeze TPA3116 to the stables. Couldn't pass it up at $28 and shipped for free from California. Sounds really good. Very clean sound, quite neutral, doesn't lean to far in one direction or another. The 32db gain is too high and I might try my hand at the adjustment down to 20db.
If anyone is following this thread and does not have any of these amps yet, this one would be a good intro.
My guess is that I'll end up hooking it to the guest room TV. It will probably sound good there.I liked the Breeze, but had it paired with a low gain source and Radio Shack LX5 speakers, that are supposed to be low 80's efficiency. I was also using an Astron linear power supply. For the money, I still consider it
a good deal. It's not going to satisfy people who post on audio boards, but we usually wind up spending more than $25 for main system amps. For a TV or a small office, I thought it was much better than the hifimediay t2550
based amp (their cheap one).
