Class D question...............

Above I said the performance of even the best of class D amps will vary widely depending on associated components.

In my own system, my sound has run from dark and moody, to extra warm and bold, to spacious and airy, to now, well balanced throughout the frequency range of 20 to 20k, detailed, delicate, powerful, sweet; just where I want my sound to be. Imagine, that variation using the same amps all the time.

That is why I want to know every wire, tweak, and component any negative reviewer has before I believe he is giving a class D amp a fair hearing.

Let us not forget that class D amp in particular, before break in is complete at about 1000 hours in most cases, may sound anything but sweet and musical, leading to premature short shrifting and dismissal of otherwise excellent components by rushed audiophiles and reviewers alike. G.

de gustibus non disputatum est

Oh God! Now you have given me hi school visions of Jesuit Priests, paddles in hand staring down at me while I try to spew out a dead language. I was wholly a morbid affair. Thanks.

I believe that the correct Latin passive periphrastic form in the quoted sentence makes use of the gerundive mode rather than the past participle. . .

"De gustibus non disputandum est."

I also spent 4 wonderful years studying under the Jesuit Fathers. . . no paddles used at my school. . .Father Castellarin -- the head proctor -- much prefer to lift boys by their ears and evaluate cranial resonance in adolescent male subjects by tapping their heads against message boards. . . . a very high end audiophile approach to discipline, of course. Not sure if the study of acoustics under field conditions ever saw formal publication, but it may very well have formed the basis for the recent development of Acoustic Resonators . G.
