I did some testing with a tpa3116 clone, scope and parallel resistor, was not able to identify any useful effects.JakofClubs wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2024 3:49 pmMy mistake. Perhaps it was Diglet that did the testing?edger477 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 7:10 pmActually, I did not research myself, I suspected that the reason for them might have been that older amps did not pump current until they detect some minimum load, and asked about it in Joanne's discord (there are some very good electronics engineers there). On modern amps, especially with a transformer that has static resistance (when you measure with Ohmmeter) that is 4 or 8 Ohms (the side we connect to amp), these parallel resistors are just waste of power, and also source of unnecessary heat.JakofClubs wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 2:33 am Edger477 did fairly extensive research on the modern TPA3116 amps
