which has to be filtered in order to prevent the analyzer from having difficulty; in JA’s words:This is just pure BS and you have been sucked in by those words "your just echoing Stereophiles words" that are advertiser driven, and anyone can see it. And I think you know that, as you don’t want your Class-D to look bad when a 1k square wave is put through it.
As no such AP filter was used at Stereophile before, when all Class-D were measured with the same analyzers. And it showed just how bad what was coming out of Class-D’s.
Also when the AP filter was introduced, Stereophile use to give the wave form shots with and without the filter. And then later mysteriously only with the filter, probably because of manufacturers complaints how bad it looked without filter.
So one can see it was just the ugliness of the wave form without the filter, that potential customers didn’t like seeing, and this effects sales, and advertising.
Just like ricevs (Tweak Audio) you are both protecting your soon to be released Class-D amps, and just ricevs you do/say anything not to tarnish it’s launch. Again a blind man can see it.
