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!

I'm happy everyone's hears what they hear.  I don't believe anyone's hearing opinion when it comes to "audiophile gear".  I believe only mine.
....and I'm happy to see that this thread is having some relatively 'healthy' give 'n take. *G*  (Knuckle bump to Eric)

D will become Dominant; it's just a matter of taming the beast to become 'tolerable' to those of us with 'sensitive ears'...

*S*  Yes, that's a tad snide, but y'all have to be a little patient for the designers and manufacturers to 'get it down'. ;)

I won't be surprised if some wag comes out with a D amp that has a option that would duplicate the 'sound' of an A, an A/B, or whatever...  Perhaps a function labeled 'Variable'. *L*  Twiddle 'till you're seriously happy or seriously disgusted....

Ah, the Future....Live It, or Live With It.... ;)

Well said, as I've also stated, even I will ditch my boat anchors when the technology allows that dreaded switching frequency (Class-D's Achilles heel) to be 2-3 times higher than what it is. Then it will be an amp to contend
with.
