Air conditioned house and hot running Audio Research CL60 finally got to be too much for my wife, and me. Went to a tube/mosfet hybrid, Moscode 600 Maxi, but... went back to a VT100. But now I'm thinking GaNFET.
Worth a try.
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
A discussion elsewhere about the future of Class A made me wonder how true one statement really is. So the questions are...
Have you done away with your Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
Will you be moving away from Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
Will you never buy a Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
I only have a class A/B unit that does Class A up to 6 watts with almost no heat so really can't speak for those who have used in the past or currently own and run Class A Amps.

@jerryg123 - I understood. I was merely saying the NAD hybrid amps are pretty technically interesting. FTR - Never wowed by Class A. I use an A/B amp right now, and was a lot happier with Class D from IcePower than any Pass I've ever heard. 😂 My point is not to bash Pass, honestly, but that you should buy amps based on sound quality, not technology. |

NO! That would be stupid! Heat is inherent in the design/class A....and people should have known that prior to buying. Also, huge exaggerations about how much heat is produced. Will you stop using your oven? Jeez....lastly....If I AM paying MY electric bill, who the he** cares what amp I’m running? Aye yi yi...
