Class D is just Dandy!


I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

Sorry, but there has NOT been significant strides in class D since then -- has there? If some of the legendary names in amp design aren't good enough, what would be?

That's not a valid argument. With a new technology, why would established manufacturers be better at implementation than those who helped develop the technology?
Madavid,

I don't think that you quite get it,

There hasn't yet been a perfect amp designed or probably will never be that satisfys everyone's ears in the Sonics that each of us individually desire.

I can fully assure you that I will always have great respect for these legendary names in amp design.

I will comment on Nelson's Amps,
Over the years I have owned many of his designs starting with the 400a and several other Thresholds,Pass Aleph 30 and Aleph 2 mono's, x-150,Xa-30.8 and then building the F5 from him graciously giving to the Diy community,The last owned and recently sold was the J2.I fully enjoyed every one of them,But the class D amps that I have now Satisfy my ears with the least shortcomings of any Amp I have ever owned in my 30 yrs in this hobby.

Comparing class a amps to class d amps is like comparing apples to oranges,which one is better is always going to be highly subjective.


At the end of the day,
It's all about the music and getting closer to it.

Kenny.

I don't have to be nice to people who are being nasty, so I'm not being nice to you anymore. You are the most transparent hater in the long list of transparent haters, and I know haters.

You previously stated you know almost nothing about Class D but now you claim to be an expert and want to bashing all the contributions of almost everyone else in this thread. I take offense at you coming in here and deliberately starting trouble. I trust the contributors. I value their input, and clearly you want to ignore all of us or call us poor judges of music and sound, which I find a personal insult to me and everyone here.

I have two questions for you:

1 - What is your income source? Are you in the audio industry or do you own a store or sell audio equipment online?

2 - Why don't you just come out, make peace with whatever point you want to make and leave us alone.  You have put a tremendous amount of emotional energy contributing nothing but hatred and bashing a technology. 
What happened? Did a class D amp fall out of the sky and kill your dog as a child?
