My class D sounds incredible to my ears and cost me 2k,
How much is the entry level amplifier you make please ?
How much is your reference amplifiers please ?
I'm glad that works for you! High end audio should be fun and musically satisfying. But high end audio though is not about cost, its about getting the music to sound real, IOW intention. I find that on these forums, audiophiles often use the same words to describe what they hear, but there isn't any standard to allow them to express the degree of their experience. So its all relative.
Because high end audio is about intention, the idea of a 'reference' amplifier strikes me as a bit odd. Shouldn't all the amps one makes be capable of 'reference' performance?
But to say that today’s class D isn’t mature, without any experience
with today’s class D, doesn’t hold much weight. Especially for me since I
do have experience with today’s class D.
To imply that I don't have any experience with class D doesn't hold much weight either, does it :) I'm pretty sure you've not met me. You've not been to our shop, not been to my house... pretty bold, don't you think, to make an assumption like that??
