What is an A-100?
An Emotiva amp, you yourself have linked it to this thread before.
Actually, I believe I found out about that product from you.

AH! I thought you were talking about an LTA product from the link you posted.An Emotiva amp, you yourself have linked it to this thread before.

Great Chapter like usual! On another note how is the balanced pre-amp that sounded like ass in SE coming? Also are Black Asgard's going to be back in stock anytime soon?

just get freya S or freya+ and be happy. looks like either one will handle either SE or balanced sources and drive either one or two Aegir or Vidar amps (as long you're not running passive mode). GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) will kill our wallets
(And yeah, I'm bored, just kinda hanging out today, cleaning up from Thanksgiving yesterday.)
I am confused. The picture of the Magni 3+ in the products website does not show a power LED on the front face, but the circuit board does have an LED. Am I missing something?

By the way, if you're super-bored, here's an extension of some of the questions I asked in the chapter. I call it "The Engineer's Quiz." There are no prizes, sorry. Just something fun for the analog designers out there.
(And yeah, I'm bored, just kinda hanging out today, cleaning up from Thanksgiving yesterday.)
Engineers quiz
1. Why would you expect an op-amp design to measure better than a discrete design?
2. Why would you expect both op-amp and discrete designs to measure better in low gain than high gain?
3. Why would adding a driver stage to a discrete design affect the distortion performance?
4. Why might you have to re-compensate a discrete design when you add a driver stage?
5. What other techniques can be used to make a discrete amplifier measure better?
6. What is feedforward also known as, and how is it different than feedback? Bonus: write the s-domain equation for feedforward and negative feedback. Bonus bonus: recount the number of times you used s- or jw-domain simplifications as an engineer, and name the mathematical discipline they are simplifications of.
7. Which of the current TI audio op-amps claims highest distortion performance?
8. What factors will contribute to an engineer not replicating the claimed distortion performance numbers for an op-amp design?
9. How large of a difference will jack contact and cable routing make when performing measurements on low-distortion amplifiers?
10. What is the typical distortion level of a good loudspeaker transducer? (A range is fine, or multiple ranges for bass/midrange.)
11. What is the typical distortion level of a good headphone transducer? (Same notes above.)
12. How does transducer distortion compare to amplifier distortion in terms of level and profile?
13. What is the typical distortion level of a good recording microphone? Bonus: what is the distortion profile of the chain used to record your favorite music (microphone, preamp, processors, ADC, etc)?
Can we get the answers in a future forum entry? Or are there no answers only opinions? I'm not an engineer but would like to learn.
