The Future of Audio Amplification


I have recently paired an Audio Research DS225 Class D amplifier with an Audio Research tube preamplifier (SP8 mkii). I cannot believe how wonderful and lifelike my music sounds. The DS225 replaced an Audio Research SD135 Class AB amplifier. Perhaps the SD135 is just not as good as some of the better quality amps that are out there, but it got me thinking that amazingly wonderful sonance can be achieved with a tubed pre and Class D amp. I have a hunch that as more people experience this combination, it will likely catch on and become the future path of many, if not most audiophile systems. It is interesting that Audio Research has been at the forefront of this development.

What does anything I said have to do with what I've heard? I was just roughly explaining the technology to a guy who asked a question.


Hmm well you did kinda put a pretty negative spin on that technical explanation I would say.

Well...Everything!!!!! How can you comment on a technology that you have not even ’heard’ in a well set up high end system? I suggest that when you get the time...go give a listen to what your preconceived notion about a class d amp can not possibly be. Please let us know when you have ’heard’ for yourself.

Hi Jafant

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving! Any new music I should pick up? I'm playing Puss N Boots "No Fools No Fun" this morning to get things rolling.

take care
