The Ghent case uses a larger spacing for the screw holes.Ģ) Switchcraft makes a connector (Part No. A few notes:ġ) I purchased Nutrik B series connectors only to find out when I went to use them they don't fit. I finally got around to correcting the PIN 1 wiring so it meets the Hypex/AES48 specification. The OP for this thread had indicated he had experienced a power down noise too, so not sure whether it is a design or a potential manufacturing issue, but there are plenty of good alternatives and so my search continues. If I had built the amp and discovered the transient, would have contacted Hypex, but was ready to move on. Warren did not seem as curious, but know he is busy, and appreciated the opportunity to try out his amp. While my inner scientist was curious, under the circumstances, did not plan to keep the amp. However, while it overemphasizes high frequency content, it presents a very well-behaved load to an amplifier. I will readily admit the speaker in question was the worst case. I did try some other speakers with varying results and you can find this earlier in this thread. Turned off the back panel switch and got same nasty pop. I was using Neutrik RCA to XLR adapters, so at this point, saw no point in testing with both speakers, so reduced the connections to a single speaker and shorted the rca input. He asked about my speaker sensitivity and suggested try shorting the input. He said he has sold 50 or more units of this model without complaint. Warren indicated he did not hear anything serious with the unit in his system, but did not detail how he tested. Was switching the power via the rear panel switch in all cases. I did not plan to use with any sources that have trigger capability, so unit was supplied without that feature. This VTV model is stereo and was not bridged. Not my first time to the rodeo, but since you chose this for your first post, I will oblige. Was the amp in stereo or bridged mode? Upon return was Warren at VTV able to reproduce the issue and inquire with Hypex? Sorry for all the questions but curious as Hypex are top performing amp modules excepting this issue. Was the amp in stereo or bridged mode? Upon return was Warren at VTV able to reproduce the issue and inquire with Hypex? Sorry for all the questions but curious as Hypex are top performing amp modules excepting this Sykora Any pop sound if speakers connected to amp but no input connected and power is switched? Was the input RCA (single ended) converted to XLR or XLR balanced? What was the source component driving the NC252MP-based VTV? Describe the power down sequences tried (source first, amp first), was pop sound always present and sounding consistent? How was the amp power turned off (rear power switch, 12V trigger removed, simultaneous with source, other). I anticipate most Hypex implementations would switch power in the same spot and hence Hypex would have considered this scenario and own responsibility for covering it. I'm also curious why there are some reports of power switching pops through the speakers. I'm gonna be very happy enjoying this w/ my family for this Xmas.Frustrating experience but great to have VTV customer service. They're fun, airy, with superb imaging, and should be on every poor man audiophile's shopping list. Overall, I'm very very surprise they haven't been more publicly known. For just a bookshelf, I think it has tighter and lower bass (down to 39 on paper). The bass is where the Sierra 1 fights back. Transiency is superb, from the 2 hours I been listening, its a tab better than Sierra, alum cone+ribbon, I guess it should be. Again, because of the pinpoint imaging, it enchance the high even better. It sounds diff than the custom Seas on Sierra1. Airy, spacious, all from this small package. On every sampler CDs I have, it never failed.Īnd then there is the High. Z-7 is harder to catch in this, BUT once its there (I have it 9ft apart toe-in), the imaging is razor sharp and more consistent than Sierra. My good old sierra 1 never have problem in imaging, wherever I put it, it pins down the image without effort, very acommodating. So far I only tested w/ those BW/wilson/Marantz sampler/reference CDs. This is just a short review, as I'm still only a fresh inmate. # Electronically matched crossovers with polypropylene capacitors Just got a pair of this Z-7 from a great guy locally 2 hours ago, it was just a great deal I cannot pass even though my small apt is crammed to the ceiling as it is.
