Cheers Butuz, is that really your name? :scratch:

Yeah the amp is a bit nuts :mental: It's kind of like a Carver Lightstar (google it) so it's super efficient & can supply 7KW RMS per channel into 2 ohms :eek: I'll be using an 8ohm per channel combination so it'll be capable of just over 2150W RMS per channel :eyebrows:

Trust me in that i'll never have it at that power level... Even though i have 4KW of bass drivers it'd just be too much! There is my reasoning, no matter what i do the distortion level will be so low i'll never have to worry about it.

I like things loud to :eyebrows: I hate distortion...

Well i got one of these ethernet hubs & went to register the amp today, turns out i didn't need it as i could do it manually :doh:

I'll keep it though as it was only about £7.50 delivered (arrived in 24hrs) as i might decide to play about with this Lake software at some stage...

On a totally different note it just occured to me earlier that one of these amps would make a superb balanced mains regenerator :eyebrows: All you'd need is a low distortion 50Hz oscillator & you'd be in business ;) With a peak output of 193V per channel it still looks like it could cope with a 14KW output with +/- 118V RMS output (167V pk) :eek: Direct driven as well, no nasty transformer :cool:

The key is finding a low distortion sine wave generator.......filtering a square wave isn't going to cut it.

How about this... :)

Looks good, just don't ask me to build it! My first 555 circuit at tech college didn't work......at all.

I'm not even going to Andrew, i want the amp for 10 - 100Hz duties ;) However as i have mentioned if anyone wants a high powered regenerator then this amp is it. Assuming you feed both inputs & set one to invert via the menu.. Which is incredibly comprehensive!

I find running my front end via a regenerator gets rid of all problems, power amps can run on standard mains as far as i'm concerned :)

All the best & i hope you have a pleasant weekend chap :cool:
