On my journey to find a class D integrated, someone suggested I try using a power ampalong with a passive preamp, such as the Schiit Sys. some of the amps Im currently investigating are the Class D Audio, D-Sonic, red Dragon and Nuprime models. I recall at least a couple of these have been previously mentioned in this thread,but can readers share their thoughts on any of the power amps from these companies? Thanks for the input as I meander along the path to purchasing a new amp!
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!

Don't even need a working amplifier to try this, just hook up two tubes and have them switch back and forth as you suggest. Please post the pics of the results. By pics, I mean of the smoke. :)Class D was first proposed in the 1940s. The problem isn't the switching, its finding tubes that could manage the current :) |
jrunr, I don't know if you were addressing your comments to me or not. I have a AT523NC 3-channel Amplifier (200W RMS per channel). I only use it to power my center and rear channels in a 5.1 surround sound system. I simply love it. It's so much better than the Marantz SR5011 and the Marantz MM7055. It's provides more than enough power to all channels. It's very detailed and a relatively small amplifier. |
