Hypex Ncore

[dan1502]

It would be nice if anyoney who receives a shipping confirmation and/or actually receives the NCore, also state when they placed the order at Hypex....
I'm still waiting for my 5 NCore which I ordered on the 21st of February..

If you read back a bit I think you'll find I did. UPS tracking says due to be delivered on Monday.

Mine shipped today.

Weird, I had placed my order over a week before you had, guess they don't ship them in the first order in, first order out fashion. Oh well.

Easy to say, but when you have no amplifier at all patience is easier said then done

Feedback from Hypex tells me my amps will be despatched today or Monday.

Should get here next week--cases ready waiting

 

[RogerSch]

Yippie!

According to my order status in the Hypexshop the order is finished. Let's see when they will arrive...

By the way: I ordered my NCore on the 21st of February.

For all of you receiving amps, would love to hear any feedback.

 

[Immelman]

Bruno, since we are also discussing future devices such as dacs and attenuators, have you given any thought to inline reclocking devices and such?

 

[Erlend Sæterdal]

Bad for me that N core 400 voltage limit is 72 V. I have an modded Coldamp Sonora 750 on 78 V . I am sure this N core would be better !

perhaps you should look at the Grimm CC-1 and check out the roster of engineers working with the company.

Ah very nice, thank you.

Hi All,

Since the next wave of NCORE modules are shipping, do any of the new owners have any listening reports to share?

 

[Immelman]

I don't think we all need to keep prodding for listening reports I'm sure people are more than willing to report when they are ready.

 

[robbbby]

Looks like mine will be here tomorrow or the following day. Hopefully it is cold and rainy this week so I have time to put everything together, if it's nice out it will need to be put on hold unfortunately.

Has anyone tried the NCore modules on the larger Magenpan panels (4Ohm, 84dB) ?

Besides a soldering iron, wire cutters, crimpers and VOM, is anything else needed to assemble and test these modules (e.g. is a scope required)?

I would love to get my hands on the larger boards to see how they compare against my Mark Levinson #336 amp (350, 700 and 1,400 wpc into 8, 4 and 2 Ohms respectively).

Thanks,
Tim

If you buy the NCores and dedicated SMPS it will come with all connecting cables, so very little additional wiring will be required. No real need for a scope and you could probably live without the VOM!

Biggest issue is likely to be feeding the output cables into the screw-down connection points on the pbc, but the use of suitable spades will make that painless enough.

Very few DIY barriers to Ncore ownership.

Just found out I will not receive my Ncore modules from this batch. Have to wait till week 18. I ordered 27th of February.

Well, well. Those who wait for something good......

How did you find out ? My order is "pending" and I did not receive any notification.

Mark,

Thanks for the quick feedback. The screw-down terminals do not look difficult (unless I am missing something).

Sincerely,
Tim
