Pete Academy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I've just been told that manufacturing Class D amps is now illegal. Anyone heard anything about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 They are talking about filterless Class D, which they (the thread) reckon could breach EMC regulations if it wasn't done right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I know Class A are definitely illegal and quite right, too. This morning I jumped out of the window naked shouting 'The goats! The goats!'. I'm all right now though - some kindly pixies took care of me and lent me a loin cloth made from lovely rainbows and unicorn fur.

fretmeister Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I heard from a music importer that sometime this year all amps will have to have a 30 minute no-use auto shut down just like TVs do. So the amp will have to have to know when no signal has passed through for 30 mins and then turn off. That will be great for valve amps. Not.

Jazzneck Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Now you tell me, the day after I bought a TB500H (although it does have a CE sticker on it). I think I smell BS. Edited February 25, 2015 by Jazzneck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Curse you for deploying the 'Class A' gag before I could. It was the only reason I came in here and now I'll have to take the gag somewhere else and frankly it could be years before I got another chance like this. Not very 'inclusive' of you, was it, you Commie pinko? Have one of these and see how you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
