High End Amp Price Collapse musings

With so many Class D amps and price points it's not possible so say Class D is not there yet, or I tried and it is not good enough yet etc...

All that can really be said is " I tried one or two and that particular amp was not as good as my...."  

We really cannot paint across the whole Class D universe with a broad brush. It is reasonable you like this or that amp better. 

I like my digital amp better then many of Tube and Class A amps I have owned, but I cannot say it bests all amps in the amp universe. 

True....we all have different expectations and biases!

Breaking in my Totem Forest Signatures playing "Slipping Away" by the Stones from Stripped Album.  My BlueSound Vault 2 is feeding my Krell Vanguard Digital via a new MIT Magnum Digital Coax cable....sound like a wet dream, where tube guy impregnated SS GIRL a bouncing baby Dream was born!!  

@dave_b
Just purchased a bluesound vault 2 myself, what do you operate yours with, ipad or android and what software?
going to be interesting to compare this running through the red dragon to my esoteric running through the BAT!

OK a quite a few of us here think that Class D may have already surpassed Class A/B in at least a few instances.  It seems that the people critical of Class D amps haven't given them a fair shake/listen (and people please stop referring to them as 'digital amps' as they are not in any way way such).  D class has come a long ways in the past 5 years.  I liked some characteristics of D Class back then - great high frequency reproduction/detail but I felt a lack of imaging and sound-stage.  That has changed with my NAD M22.  Not fair to criticize it (Class D) unless you've recently checked it out (which I doubt many of its critics have).

As far as vinyl -  I have a small record shop within an antique/collectibles shop I own in S. Jersey and I am doing more than quite well selling vinyl to both Millennials and Baby Boomers.   Maybe it lasts, maybe not but vinyl is HOT right now and has been for the 3 years I've been doing this.  My shop is small and quite diversified and we do well but vinyl is our biggest draw.  I specialize in Classic 60s-80s rock in VG+ or better condition and it's cool to see the following we have now in less than six months in business.
