Pioneer SX-950 objective performance check
This video shares some of the steps I take when evaluating the performance of an audio amplifier, using my HP 339A distortion meter, a scope and a multimeter.
We measure the output power "live" on video, measure distortion, check the noise floor and finally go through a detailed performance report of this particular amplifier.
The complete performance report is available for download here: https://ffseb.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/pioneersx-950v3.pdf
