| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello jonasandezekiel, I am not surprised that you are not blown away by Wyred4Sound ICEpowered amps..... I have not heard yet Wyred4Sound amps that I have liked.... To be honest, I have not heard them for a few years, but what I have heard at RMA... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hello WC, your upcoming shootout sounds exciting... If I might make a suggestions.... Why don't you also add a couple or three of your own selections that each of your friends must also listen to.... That would add a common source material baselin... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hi Singingtheblues, I have listened to Devialet several times at RMAF, including I believe the 250.... I am not surprised that eventually you found it to be grating.... The overall house sound is certainly open, but a little too treble-happy for m... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hi slimpikins5, your concern of ICEpower-based amps sounding sub-musical has some merits, if mostly from a historical point of view....Examples of such unsatisfying amps could be found easily in some older class D amps such as the Wyred4Sound that... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello George, an intriguing press release indeed... please let us know about any adopters of the high speed Peregrine/Murata Gan power conversion modules.While proof shall remain forever in the proverbial pudding, keeping an open mind on the theor... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello Eric, you might have been referring to the first class D generation ROwland M201 or M501 monos.... M 501 sounded to me powerful but uninspiring no matter break-in and/or warmup.... M201 tended to run out of steam.... I heard them at length a... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello slimpikins5, if your amps do not require warm up, go with what your ears tell you.... Eric's report of very long warm up time for ICEpower amps is similar to mine.... Although with my old ROland M312 I started to hear better sound after one ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? My experience aligns with Eric's.... All class D amps I have had in my system require warm up.... Particularly older generation class D could sound rather dry at power up time.... To sound their best, 24 hours or more were a must.... More recent ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? To @smer319.... Hello Sunil, I have not had the opportunity yet of listening to the Rowland M125 bridgeable, but have heard great things about it...If you have a chance, give a try also to the M535.... I have a bridged pair in my system right now,... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello rfagon, I do not have general stats on class D reliability.... I can report only my own experience... I have owned Rowland M925 since 2012, and never had a glitch.... My previous class D amp was the Rowland M312, and that one never failed ei... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello artargyle, worth mentioning that your Rowland M625 S2 amps run in class A/B.Regards, G. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hello Dave, you are absolutely correct.... Fact is that things are even a little bit more complicated than that... There are very often intermodulative artifacts that crop up somewhere in the recording or reproduction chain which can mask as trebl... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? eHello George, I have heard the ML NO.53 a couple of times, and... I agree 200% with the reviewer, for all parameters he mentioned.... To say that I did not like it would be an understatement.If all other class D amps sounded like No.53, I would h... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello singintheblues, as others suggested, it would be useful if you can tell us your amp budget, the rest of your system, and what tone concept yours might be.... Class D amplifiers are as different as there are amps.I am personally extremely fon... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hello WCSS, I'd but, as you probably imagine, the Rowland M925 at my personal top, with M535 closely behind it....I know what you are saying about an amps ability of conveying the "feeling of the music"..... Because this is exactly what M925 and M... |
