Hypex N core module

@noble100
I agree with noble100 above. My Mola Mola Kaluga class D power amplifiers Sound much better than my Luxman 590ax Class A integrated amplifier. The music was more open, detailed with much improved bass. I was surprised and could not believe it.

Of course, everyone has a different opinion, and system, and I encourage you to audition one of the high quality class D amplifiers mentioned above.

@noble100 How inappropriate. In fact I’m not ignorant, I speak from fact and after ownership of several higher-level N-Core Class D amps within the past year. None came close to giving the musical pleasure and satisfaction of my current Class A/AB amps. You can grandstand and type away until your fingers are red but it won’t change my opinion.

@hgeifman I might agree with you about Luxman. I’ve yet to hear a unit of that brand that wasn’t deficient in some manner, although their product range is huge and I haven’t heard them all. Most common is a “grainy” character that even a Class D amp could beat in this aspect.

But let’s face it system matching has to be considered. And, there’s just no accounting for taste. In the end all opinions are just that.

@jaybe

You get no argument from me.  Everyone has a different opinion of what sounds good in their system and home environment.   Some people like Class A, class A/B or Class D.   The important thing is that everyone needs to find what they like so they can sit back and enjoy the music.    

 I  dont hear any difference between Hypex- N-core NC-500 and \
High End Class A/B- in middle and Highs , but in bass N-Core
overperform  is more tight and accurate , But some guys like more
heavy  

I will try and explain my experience. I was happy with my Theta Prometheus monoblocks. They are very good at bass frequencies along with a very wide soundstage. The upper end was smooth and non fatiguing. I had them when I was setup with a multichannel system. I must add that I am much happier with my D’Agostino Progression monoblocks and going back to stereo only. They are obviously much better in the midrange, and are more dynamic from top to bottom. They are smoother and more powerful than the Prometheus and have an high end with a more natural sounding reproduction overall in comparison in instrumental tone and vocals. Now when I listen to music, my senses are awakened and it seems my "foot tapping" on the floor is natural and instinctive. The amazing difference I have discovered is that when both amps were pushed with the same exact disc (Red Violin track 20), the Theta was slightly strained when pushed on this one track, and it's dynamic orchestral peaks. Of course with the D'Agostino Progressions that doesn’t happen. Each instrument can be clearly heard and effortlessly. I am waiting for someone to chime in on the price differences. You do get what you pay for in this instance. It just depends on how deep one's pockets are!
