Class D is just Dandy!

stfoth
it’s been awhile since I knowingly gave any class D amp a good listen, maybe a decade. so, some folks absolutely love these things. others can hear the flaws.
my impression from a decade or so ago was that I hated them (at least the few I heard), but really couldn’t put a finger on why--lots or power, ridiculous detail, etc. just something missing, and, inexplicably, my ears felt funny afterwards--almost like a ringing that shouldn’t have been triggered by the volume or duration. difficult to explain.

+1 stfoth, others hear it too, and if they can’t good for them. This is why there are for and against post, from both sides of the camp, so potential purchasers can make up their own minds, and be happy with it or disappointed.
These forums are not a marketing exercises to create a push to sell more Class-D.    
As the opening post says " Please share your experiences with class D amps!"

Stop listening with your eyes (reading specs) and start listening with your ears. That is the only proof needed. And stop with the ten-year old stories. Get in the now.

And stop with the ten-year old stories. Get in the now.

The only current crop of D’s I’ve heard that have semi impressed, were the new Belcanto Ref 600M Monoblocks, yes they use the the newest "best" N-force NC500 modules that aren’t available to anyone but to Belcanto and other manufacturers.

But Belcanto modifies them from what I’ve we were told by the importer/demonstrator, that was to either cascade/parallel or series a couple of the low order switching noise output filters to give a sharper filtering effect of the switching noise.

But any speaker manufacturer worth his salt will tell you that doubling up on low order high power filters at or around the same area has it own set of problems with ringing ect.

This is similar to what Mark Levinson tried with their $50k ML No.53 monoblocks, if you look inside at the series/paralleled?? massive red inductors in the pics.

I just got some digital amplifier company inline maraschino class d amps to replace my Odyssey kismet class ab monos and I'm amazed how good they sound.  I used to have an emerald physics ep100.2se class d stereo amp and the inline maraschino blow that away and is on the same level as the kismets
