Class D is just Dandy!

Hi Tim,

That is interesting, George has been hawking this for a while.

However, since I cannot hear any problems with good class D, I won't be put out if I stick with "slow" transistors. They work just fine for me.

One really interesting thing about the Technics however is the heavy DSP processing they rely on to flatten the electrical amplitude and phase response. I'm tempted to do this with a miniDSP to see if I hear any benefits.

Not any time soon though, this apartment doesn't lend itself well and I'm all out of funding. :)

Best,

E

How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

Satisfaction, indeed....

*L*  Yeah, that cuts to the chase, doesn't it...;)

At the extremes of 'performance', there's 'differences' in the nuance between the various amp classifications.  No doubt, no kidding, and no big surprises there.   When tubes met transistors, I remember the 'dust up' over that...and then, tape vs. vinyl with cassettes....and then the CD format began the digital 'evolution'.  We're still 'A/B'ing THAT...

Will there Ever be a resolution over Anything?  NO. *L*

We all approach things with different expectations over (as far as my experience goes) Any Damn Thing you can bother to name to me. *L*

Our audio, cars, homes, spouses, children, friends, employment, the *sshole next door or the nation/state on the other side of the f'n planet.
It doesn't surprise me that the aliens are staying away from us for that reason, either.

We're so damn fractious that we'll argue over the color of daylight.  I'm happy that we can co-operate at all...

I apologize...I don't mean to launch into a rant 'n rave, but Sometimes...  the obvious seems to escape us.  You will like what you like.  You will disdane what you don't.  I may think you are out of your mind; you will feel the same towards me.  That's fair.  As long as you like what you've chosen to surround yourself with, I'm good with that and will wish you well.  If I choose to squat in garbage, well...if I'm smiling, that ought to do it for me...;)

There's more important things at the end of the day...right?

I like D.  It's evolving.  We are, too.  'Twas always thus, and will always be.  Just relax, and watch the floor show.  Try to be entertained...*G*

*L*  Approach me with a 12' pole...10' don't cut it, anymore... *LOL*
