I forgot to mention--- I had the PS Audio GCA-100 class D amp that came out after the HCA-2. GCA is a great sounding amp as well... The HCA-2 had quite a following though and many preferred that earlier version.
Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please
Ok so I know there are already lots of threads on class D both negative and positive
As I have had a very positive result with replacing the ss amps in my ht rig with a single tiny Nuforce class D amp I was tempted to look into the same for my stereo rig.
This is a little more difficult as my present amp is a BAT VK600SE, 120LB of muscle and heat.
Now I am in love with my present sound but still am very curious if class D could do anything for me as it certainly did in the ht rig although those ss amps were not in the BAT league to start with.
So I would like to hear from people who have actually gone this route, replaced their expensive, heavy, power consuming amps with tiny little cold running boxes and what their results were.
Was it uplifting, about the same or make you wish you had never heard of class D!
