Washington has great traffic lawyers that will keep this off your record for a fee. More expensive than paying, but in the long run it keeps your record clean and insurance lower.
We do. Thankfully it says that being an automated ticket, it won't go on my record.Washington has great traffic lawyers that will keep this off your record for a fee. More expensive than paying, but in the long run it keeps your record clean and insurance lower.
Going 26 miles an hour in 20 mile speed limit street (camera ticket)! It was a school zone and I remember slamming on my breaks as soon as I approached the blinking light. How the heck does one trust the speedometer that accurately at 20 mph? Try to pay it online and they want an extra $9 if I do it that way versus mailing a check! What losers. They rather process a paper check?
Spec is 47kohm (which is the same as in the ICE datasheet).i dont understand why input impedance is never measured? icepower can get very bad in that regard...
Where do you see 1Vrms? The dashboard pics are taken at 5W@4R, which is ~4,5V for the fundamental (1k). The switching frequency is 14db down from that, which means it's playing at ... alright I just did the math after I started writing this post it and it's actually 0,9V. I successfully confused myself *facepalm*.Yeah. About 1Vrms of nice 450kHz sub AM-MW frequency. What a shame the designers cannot make anything better than a dumb simple LC. And this goes to the speaker wire.

Does nCore include Purifi or is that another type of Class D?It is an odd thing for Emotiva to sell. They add no value after the box and connectors. Maybe that is one reason they have moved on and no longer offer it.
At the high performance end I have a feeling we will be waiting for the nCore patents to expire before we see real competition in class D. They nailed how to do it right, and there hasn’t been much since.
I apologize for the tangent. I am not familiar with Washington state, but in theory, this should most often be the case since in most cases photo evidence is not able to identify the driver with clear certainty. As to @dorirod's point, the strategy he describes is used in virtually all defenses regarding traffic infractions involving speeding. In many jurisdictions, calibration seems to be a go-to defense.We do. Thankfully it says that being an automated ticket, it won't go on my record.

I am sure there is an option to fight it but it is not worth the aggravation. I fought a parking ticket in Seattle once. Paid the meter and put the receipt in the window. Got a ticket saying I put it on the wrong side/window! Bastards! Decided to fight it. I go to the courthouse and it has no parking. Had to pay something $40 for parking! Go in, wait 2 hours. The retired judge that was adjudicating it grilled me left and right as if I was a criminal. I pushed back saying I had paid for the darn parking. Why would I get penalized this way and not just given a warning? He calmed down and said since my record was clean, he would throw it out. Half a day gone when including the driving back and forth.Offtopic, but you should be able to fight that. I have no idea how camera tickets are valid anyway. Can you confront your accuser? Can they tell it was you and not someone else in your car? When did they last calibrate their cameras, etc. anyway? Here in FL it's huge business, you pay various companies $100 and they fight it for you. Cheaper than the ticket usually, but still sucks. I think they made camera tickets invalid after some legal fights.
Ah, good to know! The ticket was in Kirkland actually as I was driving through. Even though it was school zone, there was not a child in sight (likely due to covid). I have gone through that street a million times. I always go extremely slow. It did not have a camera before. they must have added it.I happen to be a criminal defense attorney- my firm has offices in Bellevue and Kent, and I happen to know who handles most of the infractions. Hint: it's me.
Hypex is a company owning the NCore technology.Does nCore include Purifi or is that another type of Class D?
I bet you wish you had Judge Caprio:The retired judge that was adjudicating it grilled me left and right as if I was a criminal.
It's interesting you say that-that was my subjective impression as well. I wonder if the measurements reflect what we heard or if it's some other issue. At normal volumes they sound perfectly neutral but w/ hard rock particularly it became painful at loud volumes.I had one of these, actually two that was tested to my front Canton speakers. They sounded good but a bit harsh on high volume with rock music. Had one of them for my center speaker a while but sold it and bought an Emotiva XPA-3 Gen 3. It sounds really good.
Guess that's what happened to XPR line. Suddenly disappeared without explanation. I use XPR 5 as paper weight in case of tornado.Actually the reason they sold it in the first place was (IIRC at least) they got a warehouse liquidation of the ICEPower boards - and it happened at a time when they were pursuing an option for the preamp and DAC which were in that product line. I think there wasn't really any intention of keeping the product alive after they'd worked through that inventory... after all, it's competitive with their in-house "budget" line but a nicer form-factor (at least IMO) and at a lower price-per-watt.
