Is D for Dry? Class D...


Class D sounds dry and lifeless... thats all, carry on

Just bought a pair of Merrill Veritas monos. They sound great on great recordings, but show flaws of not so great recordings. Had them about two weeks. Currently using generic power cords.

@deep_333 Found this in your Equipment list....Amp 3: Technics SU-R1000, This is Class D no?

That amp is class D-ish no matter what the white paper claims, but, it is not a 1 trick pony (like the loads of class D-umb that’s being sold)... has a few other tricks up its sleeve to deal with certain speakers. But, I have to put it through Masterclass, PEQ, etc on the front end to make it work for my ears. It is also over-engineered/built from scratch in Japan where I gave it a pass on price (no mass purchased foolery there).

In any case, i wish all the guys with purist rigs great luck as the sterility of class D takes over to maximize manufacturer profit margins.

 

P.S. Try the Schiit Tyr class A-ish topology for a measly 3200 dollars and let me know which class D crap priced way higher sounded any better. Schiit shall set you free.

 

@deep_333 No I will pass on the Schiit stuff, found your post to be hypocritical. Panasonic, is not on my radar. Prefer products from the EU. 

 

Deep,

 

If you do not like Class D, that's fine. You have stated your distain now move along. I happen to like my Class D amps over my Class A ones. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

@deep_333 No I will pass on the Schiit stuff, found your post to be hypocritical. Panasonic, is not on my radar. Prefer products from the EU.

Sure, drop the 70k on Aavik, it sounds amazing/brilliant and has some European innovation on display....Oh wait, it is class A...lol (Michael Borresen knew better, good for him).

P.S Nothing hypocritical on the Technics, I told you why I have it dude and it certainly isn't the only amp I run. On those hot summer days, if the hvac keeps kicking on, the hvac noise makes your listening lofi....call it seasonal
