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!

Sorry, but he has nothing but tired, yesterday’s news to share. Class d has moved along, as many people here already know. No one is protecting their investments, they are just trying to enjoy the sunshine without some thread crapper peeing on their parade. Word gets out? Wow, wake up Rip!

I wonder how those that are into tubes would react if you wandered into their thread uninvited and started crapping all over it preaching about the issues with tubes....

Where are the moderators when you need them?

Nothing shows respect for the people you are interacting with less than straw man arguments and innuendos.

I’m really unhappy to see it here.

Best,

He has already shown he has no manners or respect by his continued presence here, where he has nothing positive to add to the thread, a thread that clearly states it’s for those satisfied with class d, not those that get off by sowing dissent and trolling.

Go away troll...

I am with you Kuribo!


Isn't it funny how when some tube amp, or SS class A or A/B amp, falls flat on its unmusical face, everyone shrugs it off as a isolated flop in an otherwise most vaunted class of operation....


Yet, when such a flop is on a class D amp, that is taken as proof positive that class D is immature, or even inherently inferior.

jerry--those aliens who are avoiding us have the higher switching frequencies that George wants and some folks need.


it’s been awhile since I knowingly gave any class D amp a good listen, maybe a decade. so, some folks absolutely love these things. others can hear the flaws.

my impression from a decade or so ago was that I hated them (at least the few I heard), but really couldn’t put a finger on why--lots or power, ridiculous detail, etc. just something missing, and, inexplicably, my ears felt funny afterwards--almost like a ringing that shouldn’t have been triggered by the volume or duration. difficult to explain. 

i'm sure they've come a long way in a decade, my recollection certainly could be flawed, and I like tubes. 

is it possible that this split between the lovers/haters could be caused by something like how some folks could watch DLP TVs and others couldn’t. something that some folks are wired to pick up on and that some others aren’t? (I couldn’t watch DLP).
