MEASUREMENTS
measured the Bel Canto e1X using my Audio Precision SYS2722 system (see the January 2008 “As We See It”). As the Bel Canto is a class-D design, it wasn’t necessary to precondition the amplifier by using it to drive a 1kHz tone at one-third power into 8 ohms. Nevertheless, before doing any testing I ran it for an hour at a moderate power level, to ensure that it was fully warmed up. Because class-D amplifiers emit
