The Future of Audio Amplification
There’s always a next-great thing. In the case of fast transistors, cool. Show me an audible benefit that everyone can hear before I get that hyped up about it. It’s what the present Class-D "cons" are all about, listen to a SE-R1. I’d lay money on it, that you’ll put one of the first with your hand up for one when it suits your pocket. And your old one with the lower switching frequency, will become unsellable junk save for use as a bass amp. Cheers George |
George, Show me where it is stated that the Merrill uses higher than 500K for its switching frequency. In fact, Merrill stated (on this site) that higher frequencies for switching were harder to do. I hope Mr. Merrill steps in here and clears this up. What he seems to claim is that the zero dead time using GaNs plus his zero feedback circuit are what makes the great sound. Nuprime is using 700K in their latest amps and they are said to be making some very nice sounds.....also has 1meg input impedance and very trick power supplies with discrete front end. Their amps are using Mosfets on the output. The new IceEdge modules have "dead time compensation".....maybe that is why they sound so good. |
Yep George, 'tis all one dark ominous conspiracy at the expense of brave audiophiles worldwide... There are rumors of a mysterious kabala of notorious class D mongers to undermine the Faith of righteous audiophrenes. Could even be the "deep HiFi State at its most nepherious purposes"... 'Best continue to read 'em safe reviews and specs instead of getting out of the house and exposing your ears to the spiritual corruption of unsafe audiophilic experiences *Grins!* Saluti, G. G.
