    The amplifier is split into two sections for true stereo. This method is used to make sure there's zero noise and blend between the channels, just like your high end home audio stereo amplifier. If I cracked open my Yamaha it's literally split in two, with bare pcb board connecting the two sides. The board in the center helps filter out noise and deliver clean signal to the right and left amplifiers.

Then I replaced it with a Zapco LX 150w x 4 at 4 ohms, an amplifier costing around 8 times more. The difference was substantial and it's been perfectly reliable.

    I have owned every generation of Sony personal audio player (from the cassette walkman right up to the modern Hi-res players) and still, to this day, the mini disc is my favourite format. I wish I hadn't sold my mini disc player (sold it because shops stopped stocking mini discs) years ago, I miss it, it's size, the ease of use. I know people today probably prefer their phones but mini discs always had top of the range amplifiers in them while phones are really hit and miss.

    Another mind grabbing video. I was hoping you could do a Crown XLI2500. I own one and love it with my speakers, it can get very loud but stays clear and clean sounding. I would just like to see the real deal that you provide with your high speed low drag dyno tester. YOU THA MAN!

    Picked up a big red not that long ago. Needs some work, but I admittedly underappreciated Sony for years until just recently. Thanks for showing this one!

    They basically gave each channel a own power supply and cap set ... it’s actually mono blocks

    Nice to see an amp that is under stated, or stated correctly, rather than all the new 'crap' with huge proclamations of power and test out to 'meh', keep that up Sony imho.

    I knew they did. Never got one because Orion had the OG HCCA amps out (G3 & G4's). They were smaller, cheaper, and a ton of power.

    I love the top-tier electrolytics in this amp.
    However, the power supply uses Chemi-con, not Nichicon Golds.

    What's up bro... Been checking out your vids and seems you're full of knowledge... Anyway I'm going big and need some good advice... I run a l7 15 right now in a rsx but I'm planning on adding 3 more... What amp or amps do you recommend to push these full throttle... Looking to get into spl drag... I love the Rubicon 2500 because they're fairly priced and I know you can strap them... What's your opinion on them.

    • @wal
      @wal  Před 6 lety

      I’m not a big fan of the Rubi 2500’s. They are really cheaply made. I’d look at Orion XTR-2500Dz’s, which are far more powerful and can be strapped as well. They are much better quality and made in Korea

    Sony and pioneer have decent amps for the money. People just assume they're not good because Wal Mart sales them
