xdetroitx Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Never thought so hard about robbing a bank in my life. Very Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmiles Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 It is a great amp. I had another forum member here helping me with a Control4 install (my home) and he was very impressed. Call me in the office to discuss - 800.332.3454. Detroit even begins with a "D" (Class D pun). Regards, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 got a link with tech data? I did a google search and got 3 hits, none in english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmiles Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Copy of Audiogon listing, see "tech data" below... One of the top Class D amp contenders in the industry. 500 WPC in 8 ohms and 1000 WPC in 4 ohms! A powerhouse by any standard.This amp is mint with a very small black "smudge", which I feel can be cleaned or buffed out, from being on a rack shelf (not rack eared). The unit is about 10 months old with less than 4 months of actual service. It was installed in my personal HT system and performed extremely well multi channel and 2 channel duties driving RBH T2P's.Here is a link direct to PS AUDIO for more information about this fantastic performer:http://www.psaudio.com/products/gcamc_overview.aspThis is what the industry experts say about the new PS AUDIO family of amplifiers:Multi-channel GCAMC-250 reviewhttp://www.ultimateavmag.com/amplifiers/406psaudio/Multi-channel GCAMC-250 review (note you must be a subscriber to view)http://www.widescreenreview.com/search.phpMulti-channel GCAMC-500 reviewhttp://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_13_1/ps-audio-gcp-preamp-gca-amplifier-1-2006-part-1.htmlTwo channel GCA 250 reviewhttp://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_12_4/ps-audio-gca-250-amplifier-10-2005-part-1.htmlTwo channel GCC-100http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/106ps/index1.htmlTwo channel GCC-100http://www.avguide.com/product?id=3583The listing price includes S&H to the continental USA and the 3%PayPal transaction fee.Thanks for looking.

Guest " " Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I looked thru the first link and did not find what i was looking for. The first link was a third party general review about the product line. looking for things like, input sensitivity, dynamic range, sn ratio, bandwidth, harmonic distortion, power at various loads, etc I'll keep looking thru your list of reviews, post a tech link if you come across one.

mmiles Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 This link might also be helpful. The GCAMC 500 uses the 1000 asp module. http://www.icepower.bang-olufsen.com/sw1022.asp <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frzninvt Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Class D amplification for your mains, center and rears - Yuck. Works great for subwoofers, I personally would never use Class D amplification on anything other than a subwoofer. Aren't the dynamic range, channel separation, and S/N Ratio not up to par on Class D amplifiers as compared to their Class A/B counterparts. I doubt that they have perfected the technology yet to provide the warmth and detail associated with Class A or A/B amplification at any price. I would have to hear it to believe it. I have heard some of the nicer Class D amplifiers in the automotive environment (high end car audio) and they sounded lacking in sparkle and detail. Please keep in mind this is solely my opinion.

mmiles Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Actually the dynamic range is as good or better. As far as S/N the "broad stroke" is 85db across the spectrum according to Bang & Olufsen. However that is about 10HZ-30KHZ. Class D amplification for your mains, center and rears - Yuck. Again that is your opinion and of course this is American... Your statement of I would have to hear it to believe it. lends me to believe you have never spent any long term listening to these types of amps. Read the reviews above. As far as myself I have associates in the business that sell Cary Audio, Krell, Arcam, Marantz, Parasound, Halcro, Nagra to name just a few and they were blown away by the amp. Hey 1000 WPC x 7 (4 ohm) ain't half bad. But again that is opinion and this is America! To the best of my knowlege you will be hard pressed to find a true class A mulitchannel amp. The size and heat generation would be hard to deal with however there are some very good A/AB and AB designs out there for sure. I've owned a few of them... I'm just trying to move this unit to free up some inventory in my hobby biz (A/V is not my day job) in order to check out either BAT or THETA. So help a brother out...
