No, not all amplifiers sound the same. But in terms of an overall system, they should be the component that has the least single effect on the sound. As with most things, especially in the audio world, spending more increases quality, but only up to a point. ... At that price point, most amps are going to sound similar.

Yes, Peavey amps are good. They're built like a tank and can handle a lot of abuse. Sonically there are better amps out there, but to quote the quote which has been so overused in this forum, "They're the best bang for the buck". "Never buy a Peavey, they last forever".

Do every power supply have the same size? Yes, for the most part, as long as they follow the ATX standard. They do differ in depth somewhat, but most cases will have no trouble taking most power supplies. There's also the smaller SFX standard for very small cases (HTPCs, etc), but it's not as common.

The 2 channel refers to the ability for the amplifier to handle LEFT and RIGHT audio or the amplifier can be BRIDGED to run a subwoofer.

DC Amps and AC amps are the exact same thing, they are the measurement of electrons past a given point, the difference is that the electrons of AC go back and forth (alternating) and DC go only in one direction (direct).

Class D amplifiers take it a step further and they are even more efficient, and less hot, than their AB counterparts. ... All that extra efficiency comes with a price. The constant switching on and off creates more distortion than other types of amplifiers suffer from.

Bugera amps are cheap because that's Behringer's entire business model. If they charged the same prices as other companies people would just buy the originals.

An integrated amplifier usually combines the functions of a preamp (volume control, balance, input selection, tone controls plus phono amplifier) with a power amplifier, whereas a power amplifier is just that.

Is a DJ mixer an amplifier? No, a DJ mixer controls how much of which audio signals from the various possible inputs are sent to the speakers. ...

No. Not all XLR cables are the same, nor are all XLR connectors. ... The cables vary depending on the type of connector you're using, and the type of signal you're sending (speaker voltage, analogue or digital signal).

Engineered and built from the ground up entirely in the U.K., these amps are completely hand-wired using only the finest available components. The anniversary amps are a faithful recreation of the 1957 AC15/4 and the 1964 AC30/6 amps that paved the way for some of the most notable musicians in the industry.

PYLE amps any good. Well Tim, Pyle is something you would find at the flea market or in a yard sale. And to tell you the truth Sony subs are not much better. They pop very easy.

Some components in power amplifiers can age in the first few weeks of use. In a nutshell, amplifiers have warm-up and break-in effects. But they are fleeting and often subtle (unless the manufacturer cuts corners excessively and uses poorly stable parts).

Yes. They're all the same size. They even fit on Fender basses.
