class d

While I agree that the SE MKII is superior the standard Musician III is still a very fine amplifier, I have had both, and in most cases it is all that one needs for listening to exceptional audio. The MKII is also more expensive (and by FAR!!!).

I own PSAudio GCC250 and Maggies. Very good match.

I work for a company (to remain nameless) which is just entering the Class 'd' market and am trying to pry one of the demo units out of the engineers hands. I'm not TOO optimistic, however, since I saw the list of equipment used to 'voice' the amp and how certain component choices were made.

If I EVER get my hands on it, I'll publish here first:

I let everything settle for a few days and the nuforce set up sounds much better. Is it possible for an amplifier to contribute to imaging? Becase that is the change that is most obvious as I moved over to the p9/SE combo away from my mcintosh. The image is so much more sharply defined.
I will be selling my integrated and picking up 2 (ideally 3)of the amps. Not sure about the pre though. Dont like all the popping and the volume control gets way too loud way too fast.
I think that you had writtne something somewhere about matching the impedance of the pre to the power amp. Can you explain that again so that I know what to look for in a pre to go with the nuforce's?
thx!

IMO, there should be no issues with matching a preamplifier and amplifier from the same manufacturer. If there are issues, then something's wrong.

Jimmy3993, the small usable range of volume control on your preamp is a function of gain matching rather than impedance matching, IMO. Your preamp appears to have too much gain for your amps.

Thanks! New to all of this...
Is there somewhere I can go to reaserch the gain of different pre amps?
