Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube

I returned briefly and now I`m stumped.

I can hear a very thin additional layer of sound/decay on the BACKSIDE of the front to back image of the tube amp that just..JUST eludes the Class D amp.
I`m talking onion skin layer, barely perceptible if that makes any sense, the width and height of the Class D is really nice no issues there at all.

I THINK I may be able to bridge the gap with a tube phono stage and maybe recover that added/perceived dimension but my ASR Mini Basis MKII sounds so good to me that I`m scared to think what a tube phono stage might cost to better it.

My speakers need some power and I`m not sure I`m willing to spend the money needed for a tube amp that can provide the needed power that the Class D has on tap.

For once I agree with ebm...this thread is dead in the water....who gives a rat's a$$

Well the dozen or so posters so far at least it would seem. 🤔

Interesting thread, I've been wondering what the deal is with class D and have learned a fair amount already from this young thread already.

Me. Three times. Treble quality was atrocious. Roland, Job and one other. This was up until 4 years ago. People say they've gotten better. On each try, they were out of my system within 2 days. (Yes, they were broken in).
