Class D is just Dandy!


I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

Erik, thanks for starting this thread. I have been on 'amp' roller coaster for a good while. I agree with most of the guys here, Class D has arrived, IMHO.  

I recently tried couple of Class D amps. While Red Dragon's S500 sounded just 'right' with my 800's, it was Merrill Audio's Veritas that blew me away with their abilities to drive my 800D's. 

Next up, ATI's AT544NC which should be here by end of next week. The amp uses N-Core NC-500 module with custom designed gain stage and linear power supply.  

Bel Canto Ref600M is been on my radar for a while. 

Let's keep the positive vibe going! 
" Yes as I posted here, these eGaN fets are what Technics are using in their new $30k class-d and with it are able to double the frequency of the switching noise."


     Yes georgehifi, you were definitely the 1st to post here and link info on the eGaN FETS that are used in the new Technics amp.  I recently happened upon an article about the eGaN FETS while on Audiophilereview.com and didn't recall your earlier posts about them.
 

My mistake and apologies.  I forgot you've been saving up for this $30,000 class D amp.

saving?
I've mentioned this on and off for over a year, here and other forums.
Cheers George

They would have gone well with Red Wine components if Vinnie Rossi hadn't gotten vain and changed the name. What's a LIO anyway?
