Class D is just Dandy!

One biased reporter backing another doesn't convince me of a thing. Sorry.

Everyone should use their own ears and definitely not Fremer's or JA when evaluating modern class D amps.

I haven’t listened to Icepower so can’t comment.

The Levinson comment is a red herring. There are other companies, like Bel Canto, who were well known for their tube amps, but have ditched them in favor of class d in general, Hypex in particular.

From a performance standpoint, there are few amps in the world which can match the ncore for closeness to an ideal amplifier, i.e., a "wire with gain".

The last thing that would influence my purchase of any piece of audio gear is someone else's opinion of the sound. Reviewer or otherwise. Like someone telling me which wine or beer I should buy....

BTW, I have no particular opinion on ML amps, but the generalized claims Fremer made in the article were just not true anymore for Class D amps.

Whether any reader here likes a particular amp or not, well, OK, I can't argue with that. But the general issues with Class D amps of the 1980's were long solved by 2013, despite some people being unwilling to let go of the same old myths.

Please tell us all the issues they (who) solved?

Hey, georgehifi, maybe you should reread the initial post which started this thread. If you have issues with class d, you are in the wrong place.
