Class D Technology

Unforced must pump a lot of money into absolutes sound to purchase that moniker.  :)

its a joke my my fellow Americans, as I know if I didn't say so, you would all be butt hurt. :)

i heard some class D monos, they were just ok, nothing special.
tiny lack of upper treble , midrange was ok, bass was good. 

Would BUy if they ever stop making AB amps :)

Interesting discussion.  Can someone suggest a low-cost "bettter" Class D amp for use as a 'mid-fi' system with consumer-grade speakers for elderly parents who like to listen to music, but don't "LISTEN" to music as we do?

Thanks!

CLASS TD anyone Arcam’s P49

The P49 has been designed to leapfrog the competition with a massive 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 into 4 ohms. It delivers 50 watts in pure class A mode while allowing for huge extra power reserves from our latest generation class G topology that is both clever and efficient. During normal operation, distortion is measured in less than one part per million so that this massive power is deliver with total control and finesse.

There have been great strides made in improving audio sources and loudspeakers in recent years and the time is right to match them in the field of amplifier design. This ground breaking amplifier is a must audition amplifier for music lovers who understand that power is nothing without control.

OK Guys, I have a whole different approach to this Class D issue. While I have a beautiful sounding stereo setup, I like variety. So I recommend you buy the Topping 80W per channel amp on Amazon for $200. It uses Class T technology (Tripath) that is used in the evo versions of Bel Canto.  Looping technology is the key to making class D work today, and this little amp is stunning and is cheap enough were you can hear something different while waiting for the ultimate realization of Class D. 

And for those of you who care, I use Soundlabs U-2 (6' electrostatics) with custom modifications normally powered by custom 6C33C based mono-blocks, Audioquest Sky interconnects, Custom pre-amp with OTL and transformer selectable switching and variable capacitor loading in OTL mode, Wadia DAC, etc.
And yes, I do use the tube amps in the winter here (Denver) to warm the room as it cuts don on the time the forced air heat is running, which causes a bit of annoying background noise.
