| Class D is just Dandy! If the "T" in your Class T stands for "Tripath" that is a Class D module, so your amp would be Class D. ARC and a few other manufacturers used this nomenclature for Tripath based amps. | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE hgeifmanI bought a pair of Bel Canto Ref 600Ms about five weeks ago, and so far I am very pleased. They are still breaking in, but I already find the sound very clean and clear with dead quiet background and nice, musical articulation of acoustic ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Yes, George, Bel Canto Ref 600Ms are very good. I am right now listening to absolutely splendid sound of Mozart Symphony #40 with them driving Focal Alto Utopia Be speakers, sourced from Esoteric K-01 through an ARC LS 25 Mk II pre.I could not ... | |
| The very best Sibelius recordings in analog My very favourite analogue Sibelius symphony recording is Symphony #2 by von Karajan conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra on EMI, recorded in 1960.Of course, if you were to ask about digital recordings, there are many to consider as well--includi... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Blang 11I think you are going to be very pleased with the Bel Canto Ref 600M monos. I just got my new pair installed a couple days ago, also replacing an ARC Class D stereo amp, model 150.2. The Bel Cantos already sound great, though I expect they... | |

| Your favorite Sheherazade LP ? I also think the Reiner RCA is terrific for both interpretation and sound quality. FWIW the last Penguin Guide I have says it "stands out" among many other superb recordings of this piece, and gave a Rosette to the RCA SACD version. | |
| Class D = Trash? vdotman:I am glad to hear you are happy with Bel Canto Ref 600Ms, as I am looking into getting a pair myself. If you don't mind me asking, what source/DAC/pre are you using in front of the Bel Cantos that gives you the nice results? | |
| Too Much Power? noble100Nice! | |
| Too Much Power? Giudo: With Bel Canto Ref 600Ms ( or with Merrill Thors) I am looking at around $4,500-$5,000 stated price per pair. I did briefly consider Merrill Veritas; but at the stated price of $12,000 per pair, I really doubt Veritas would provide enoug... | |
| Too Much Power? Guido: Thanks for the usefull tips on break-in and related issues. I have observed that you have a lot of knowledge about and experience with quality Class D.One further thing that occurs to me is if you have any thoughts in how the Bel Canto Ref ... | |
