RE: P801 Power Amp

Alan, just curious to see how the P801 stacks up to Purifi's reference amp (older 1ET400A module but using the OPA1612 opamp in their buffer board) as...

RE: P801 Power Amp

Looking casually at the LMExxxxx and OPA1612 opamps datasheets, they have their lowest distortion at 10 or more volts into a 2K load, just before clip...

He has RF filters on his inputs, if you look at the circuit topology tab. My main impression were the IMD and noise floor plots, which look impressive...

RE: P801 Power Amp

I think the difference in the graphs is due to the measurement bandwidth. One is made with 45kHz bandwidth, while Purifi has a 20kHz filter. Do you se...
