Ralph/Atmasphere,
You're a classy dude. Mivera should be taking notes.

Class D is affordable and sounds as good or better the SS/Valve why buy anything else ?
miveraaudio ... unless you have experience with this technology, you are not in a position to judge whether or not today’s class D is mature.As Ralph noted, he does have experience in this technology. Regardless, everyone here is free to express his opinion. It takes a lot of arrogance to assume that a company as large as B&O, with that many top engineers, over a 13 year span doesn’t know what they’re doing.It takes more than a bit of arrogance to state this when no one here has made that claim. |
Icepower put millions of $ and 13 years into their new Iceedge class D ASIC’s. With a team of the best of the best engineers in the business. So unless you have experience with this technology, you are not in a position to judge whether or not today’s class D is mature. It takes a lot of arrogance to assume that a company as large as B&O, with that many top engineers, over a 13 year span doesn’t know what they’re doing.That's pretty funny! ... uh... I never stated B&O doesn't know what they are doing. Didn't mention anything about B&O. Now, think about this for a moment. I filed for a patent in the area of class D technology. The patent is based on a functioning amp. Now since that is the case, is it thus possible that I in fact do 'have experience with this technology'?? I went to engineering school and while I make tube amps, when I went to school tubes got exactly one day of mention... this isn't that hard to sort out. Engineering FWIW is all about applying the math and the principles to solve a problem. The question often becomes 'are you solving the right problem?' Personally I'm of the opinion that quite often for many designers the correct answer is actually 'no' and the reason being that if you want an amplifier to sound right to the human ear, it has to be very short on the distortions that the ear is designed to pick up on. IOW, an understanding of how the human hearing perceptual rules work, rather than how to get the specs to look good on paper. The two are different and have been for many decades. |
