Them’s a lot of notes in the sound ratings at the bottom of the article!
Class D Technology
So I get the obvious strengths of Class D. Efficiency, power output & running cool which allows for small form factors. I also understand the weaknesses somewhat. 1. Non-linear & lots of distortion that needs to be cleaned up with an output filter.
So my question is, if it weren't for efficiency & power, would there be any reason to own a Class D amp? Do they beat Class A in any other categories that count for sound quality?

Given the power rating, the module of the D-Sonic 3/3000 is probably the Pascal X-pro2. There is also a mono version of this amp, called 3/1500M, probably based on Pascal X-Pro1. See: http://www.d-sonic.net/products/mono/ Cost of D-Sonic 3/1500M is $1300 per chassis.... And $2600 for a pair of 1500W Pascal amps is a pretty good deal.

Tech Hifi brings back so many memories of my teenage years. I used to love looking at their brochures of systems and listening to gear. At 15 years old I saved all I could on my first job and purchased my first system at Tech. I still remember what I purchased!

I used to covet the Micro Seiki tables but they were out of my price range back then. I settled for a very nice affordable and snazzy Philips 312. My system I bought while there (dorm room sized) was Hitachi 802 Class G receiver, Phillps 312 table, Grado cart, Aiwa AD6550 cassette deck ( I loved that sexy beast), and OHM L speakers. Still have the OHM Ls that I’ve maintained and upgraded myself since. They can still compete and sound better than ever with my Class D amps. I upgraded to a Tandberg tr2080 receiver I also coveted while at tech a couple years later bought at Leonard Radio on Route 17 in paramus NJ, a wonderful local shop at the time. |
