Classdaudio vs Channel Islands amps

D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Mapman..just a motivated consumer. I have always been intriqued by the 90% efficiency of Class D amps compared to 50% efficiency of a/ab amps that send a lot of wasted energy to the heat sinks. In 1958 there was testing done with pulse switching d...

Thanks for correcting me Guido...my mistake..I'm aware of the 525 being bridgeable since last winter and was thinking of it as a mono amp. Also, I was incorrect on the 125, just spoke to Brandon at Rowland and the 125 is using the latest generatio...

I was referring to Rowland's current Class D amps only and the info provided by Brandon. Previous Rowland Class D amps using B&O ICE are out of production. Rowland currently only has three Class D models in production. The 525 and the 125 that...

Chill out Bro..you need to put out the fire under your butt. Jealous? How absurd. I don't buy into anymore the audio snobbery that reviewers continue to perpetuate that you have to spend gobs of money to get the best performancefrom an amplifier. ...

Bruno Putzeys during the past year has made the statement that his "Advanced Technology" with his newest Ncore/Hypex designs spins circles around other linear amplifiers on the market. Hmmm...sounds like Hype-X to me. That may have been true six y...

Another Class D amp to consider for review also is the Arion Audio MK 1000 mono amps.

Guido..does the Veritas performance justify their ridiculously high price of $12K a pair? Phew!! For the money, their Cardas knob type speaker binding postsare hard to work with compared to the WBT five way posts on other class D amps which are be... 
Parasound P5
Runnin is correct regarding the update on the P-5. Spoke to Richard Schram last Thursday and the retail price is firmly set at $950.00 and will start shipping the first week of September. John Curl was not involved with the P-5 or its phono stage. 
Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ?

Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
Joe Cocker's voice in the late 60's was unbeatable. Saw him on his first U.S. tour with his Grease Band. Knocked me out the window. At the time, I had a dream of putting Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin together to make an album which would have been t...
