The Future of Audio Amplification

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. |
Thanks for the link George. Seems like I may be a little more picky than the folks mentioned on that thread. For me that is. As I have mentioned before I, first of all, don’t like the sound of amps crammed into over built chassis, they sound to constricted (congested) to me. I also don’t like the sound of huge transformers too close to the other parts hosting the signal. I don’t like the way heatsinks distort and the list goes on. In general I don’t enjoy big heavy amps, of any type. I also don’t like listening to crossovers or damped speakers or garden hose wire. What I do like is low mass and variably tunable products. Since I use my systems as musical instruments, including the environment, I can see where my views may differ from others here. I can also see where my views might fit into the future of amps more than some here. I really only have two beefs on this forum and neither has to do with what someone likes or believes. My two beefs are internet trolls and folks who talk about stuff they haven't actually done. mg |
My best friend uses a Channel Islands Class D amp and he is comfortable using it. He would like to substitute one of my Class A/B voltage regulated amps which can control the bass of his demanding speakers instead but can't afford the change. He is a very discerning audiophile and part time remastering engineer (worked with Kevin Gray on some top quality LP remasterings over the years). So, he is satisfied for now with even the older technology Class D amp. I've mentioned that I heard the Prana Class D amp and it was musically involving and sounded very good. |
