I rather think it was Martin Grindrod (Chief Engineer) who did that, with the development of some rather clever and unique control circuitry for the DM5 amplifiers.John Duncan said:. . . at least you can rest in the knowledge that you introduced him to the benefits of Class D amplification.

Martin has been heavily engaged in a R&D program, for more than a year, to produce a class D amp which will meet AVI requirements. The small size of the DM5 plate amps dictated unsually compact amps and psu. Switch-mode devices suit that application, but a quality and performance uplift was required, which has now been realised.

Thanks for the infomercial. Shame the ADM5s are a huge step back notwithstanding. One input, no preamp, no DAC, they're up against a whole lot of competition from well-respected companies.jcbrum said:I rather think it was Martin Grindrod (Chief Engineer) who did that, with the development of some rather clever and unique control circuitry for the DM5 amplifiers.John Duncan said:. . . at least you can rest in the knowledge that you introduced him to the benefits of Class D amplification.

I think the phrase "good riddance to bad rubbish" seems most apt JB. They have their world and are welcome to it. The spiteful petty-mindedness over there is beyond belief. I find it somewhat ironic that the old boy and his lapdogs have such short memories. Their problem. Don't sweat it JB. Some things are best left in the past. Shame really; the products are good, the company attitude sucks and probably costs them more customers than they realise.JMacMan said:Nor me now it would seem... *sigh*

Tel me, how does AVI propose to sell these? Are they going to advertise and place products out for review as other companies do, or are they going to rely on shilling as before?
Hey Joe (sorry...), they're not. The tech's good, the products excellent by all accounts. No quibbles there.Diamond Joe said:Who'd have thought that grown men could get so wound up about some bits of tech, unbelievable. :roll:
Maybe they'd send a copy to one of the tertiary qualified engineers on this site. Aherm...JMacMan said:I await to see the patents applied for, with respect to intellectual property rights for the 'exclusive' AVI design.
I think I'd be on pretty safe ground to say that I don't think there will be any.
Not that there's anything wrong with AVI coming up with their own version of Class D.
I just intensely dislike the inference that Class D is 'shite' until AVI comes out with a supposedly 'better' version of it.
And as usual, for a science lead company, the facts are in very short supply.
Surely, because, as I've been personally told, I would never likely understand them...

Well, I've just received another email, so as to, it is said, add some 'perspective' as to my alleged anti AVI campaign now on WHF, in that someone has been asked to copy/paste some comments I made re the disengenuious marketing of foo and pseudo science, on AVI forums, over here, in an attempt to discredit me by any means possible it would seem.the record spot said:I think the phrase "good riddance to bad rubbish" seems most apt JB.

:rofl:I'm sure that most of you are aware of how the spiteful and vindictive WHF mod John Duncan has wound his membership to hate and crap on every AVI owner who tries to discuss us, presumably to protect ad revenue from the old guard. In the circumstances and because DM5s are in WHF's customer price range, I'm rather hoping AVI posters become a Juggernaught he can't stamp on. They deserve that for their shabby tricks.
Finding myself on the receiving end of it, I'd have to agree; no complaints about the products, but the attitude... sheeesh...the record spot said:Hey Joe (sorry...), they're not.

It's the attitude which sucks a big one.
JMac, everything you said about this quote was fair comment.I'm sure that most of you are aware of how the spiteful and vindictive WHF mod John Duncan has wound his membership to hate and crap on every AVI owner who tries to discuss us, presumably to protect ad revenue from the old guard.

I disagree. And I hope certain expeletive deleteds* over there who think I'm oh-so-anti-AVI all the time see this.lindsayt said:I think it's a huge overstatement to say that John Duncan has wound the membership up over AVI.
