Pete Academy Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I've just been told that manufacturing Class D amps is now illegal. Anyone heard anything about this? Quote
HazBeen Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Seems pretty out there, but who knows..... Quote
wateroftyne Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Maybe you heard that high-pitched whine they produce, whilst inaudible to most humans, makes eagles ill..? Quote

Count Bassy Posted February 25, 2015 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
chris_b Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 There is a big CE on the back of my TH500, so there is no story here. Quote

discreet Posted February 25, 2015 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. Quote
BigRedX Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Big CE printed on the back of my Tech Soundsystems Black Cat too. Where did you get the information from? Quote

fretmeister Posted February 25, 2015 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. Quote
Jazzneck Posted February 25, 2015 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

[/quote] I'm going to extrapolate that one step further; Would it by any chance be a rep from Orange, who are releasing the class-AB OB1 amps amid rumours that the class-D Terror bass amps might be discontinued? This is pure guesswork, of course... Quote

[/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
