Class D = Trash?
stevecham,     You asked:"I'm not reading consistent sonic and utility praise for the format. Why is that?"     I can only speak for myself but I think many class D users will probably agree with my answer to your question.   I don't specifically ... 
Class D is just Dandy!
     Very nice to see almarg and atmasphere team-up, step up and use their knowledge/experience to solve islandmandan's noise problem. Nice job guys!     What I've consistently noticed from listening to good class D amps in my system, from my init...

teo audio, I haven’t heard the affects of music described like that before but I liked it.Well said! Thank you, Tim 
Need Power Amp advice
trip,     I used an Aragon 4004 MKII to drive a pair of fairly inefficient Magnepans for several years.  It's a good amp that I thought sounded good in my system from top to bottom.  I know from personal experience, however, that there's a very af...

" Not one mention of the output filter that has to address the switching noise of the switching frequency, which is the Achilles Heel with present day switching frequencies."George,     I understand the importance of having a good well matched pas...

randy-11:"Can anybody list very affordable great sounding Class D amps - say below $2,000 for a stereo pair, and better or comparable SQ to a Sunfire amp?"I'm not sure if you're looking for a stereo amp or a pair of mono-blocks.But for stereo amps...

    George,You stated:  "All your doing at the moment is trying to protecting your investment so it won’t take a monitory nose dive when this new technology becomes mainstream and finally puts Class-D into the hi-end Audio bracket, with today’s gr... 
Class D = Trash?
Hi George,      I think you're seriously under-estimating the performance of the many current good class D amps using switching frequencies around 5oo kHz.  I say this based on my personal experiences with 3 different class D amps over the past 3 ... 
Class D = Trash?
Hi George,    You asked:"why do you think Technics have gone to the trouble to advance the class!"?   Most likely to sell them at $30k each to gullible buyers. that believe higher switching frequencies amps actually sound better than the $630-$3,0... 
Class D = Trash?
Hi George, From my technically limited layman’ s perspective, the quote you posted from Optoma USA actually seemed logical and made some sense to me. If I didn’t know better from years of personal experience, I’d probably just accept what they sta... 
Class D = Trash?
atmasphere,      Thank you for replying to my questions.    Your confirmation that current class D amp switching frequencies are not causing 'inharmonic distortion', along with class D Ice and Hypex NCore power module inventor Bruno Putzeys' state... 
Class D = Trash?
randy-11,     You stated:"of course, you can measure all sorts of distortion products - inharmonic means non-harmonic."    Well golly gee, Randy, I would have never thought that 'inharmonic' means the same as 'non-harmonic'.  Of course they mean t...

Hi atmasphere,     Thank you for your explanation.  I know your credentials and trust your comments have no hidden agenda.  Unfortunately, I don't know georgehifi's credentials and whether he has a hidden agenda against class D.     Okay, so you'r... 
Class D = Trash?
georgehifi,     Let me get this straight:     When  I initially asked you:"1. Does any scientific evidence exist that in any way supports your theory that the current class D switching frequencies are too low and result in sonic anomalies that are... 
Class D = Trash?
georgehifi, I never set out to write long winded posts but I admit they tend to be overly verbose. I’m going to strive for more brevity starting now. Your last post goes over information already discussed on this thread.and totally avoids answerin...
