Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions ADA-1000-2

There was no 1000, 1250 or 1500 before Andrew. Andrew spent two years of his life and nearly hung himself bringing those into production...lol!

It's hard to know why the bump in capacitance. It could have been as simple as higher value capacitors were easier to source.

I think at $500, " beggars can't be chooosers " or so they say. 6,000 uF less in capacitiance isn't worth the $800 more id pay to get a new one.

It's gonna cost me about $100 to get it shippped to me at the cheapest and slowest priority. So im about $600 there plus the $ 350 ish I just paid for my new Axiom Transformer.
Could I do better for $1000 for something else? ( If I returned the Transformer ).

Consider power quality and quantity, DAC / Streamer capability,

I better be careful, I bet it's being sold right now while I espouse it's virtues.......

Sorry. I can't talk you into it since I don't know what the extra capacitance is for.

Agreed. Thats why i bounce ideas into this forum. Thanks.

Yeah Randy! I’m still using an Outlaw 7700 in my Theatre with my 80s, 180 and QS8s M3s.
I have two Outlaw m2200 mono blocks for my two channel system. All three amps do the job quite well.
Using them with the preouts on the receivers, not using dedicated pre amp separates.

All other things being equal, monoblocks are the way to go!

ADA-1500 now available in a single channel........you even get a discount off the 2 channel price. !!! Bonus eh? That adds up when you buy 2 of them!! Smirk.....

The ADA1000 amp is the only model in the lineup that has not undergone any major revisions over the years. The only change was in the power supply where we went from two 27,000uF main power supply caps (hence the 54,000uF spec) to four 15,000uF caps for a total of 60,000uF. All the basic performance specifications have not changed.

Good. More storage, lower ESR, faster charging and discharging.
