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.

assuming the are the same George who reviewed the Hattor passive pre with a NordSorry you need to do your homework there sunshine, you've got the wrong George I'm afraid on that one. No one said it was garbage, I said it doesn't compete with hiend linear amps "yet"!!, one day it will with the likes of the Technics SE-R1 and the Merrill Element 118 now using the new GaN technology that it needs to be rid of it's achilles heel to get there.

George has sided with the lack of.Really??? And the only semi pro for it is Jeff Rowland, who makes them, wonder why?? https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/31671-class-d-turns-out-it-does-suck/?do=findComment&co... |
Geez the guy who knows how to make good ones that have been successful likes them and the ones that don’t and make other stuff that must compete are not sold. What a shocker! Why is your name not in that article George? Oh and the guy who has done it successfully is only a "semi pro". I’m sure when you come out with your own Class D amp someday it will be the bees knees but threads like this might convince me to turn in my audiophile card sooner rather than later and I will surely miss out. |
