Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???

Damn George, for some one who doesn’t like Class D

Damn yourself sunshine.

I’ve always said it’s the future and has always had better bass, just needed something like these GaN transistors to cure it’s ill’s in the upper mids and highs, which it’s always had from day one and never changed.
Just went off on different tangents but never got down to the root of the problems, too much dead time and too low switching frequency with output filter effect getting down into the audio band, and these GaN’s address all these ill’s.

George,
Weren't you the person who advised me to let those who like a technology go and enjoy it?

Because every time an A'gonner says they are buying or like Class D you are right there telling them how wrong they are, bringing up 40 year old complaints and claiming, without evidence, that there are technical hurdles that must be overcome before Class D becomes listenable?

Based on reading so many of your threads, I would say your biggest problem isn't technology, it's users. You just don't want people to like Class D.

Best,

Sunshine is a good thing.

The human ear is capable of decoding intermixed harmonics and timing cues into the 200khz plus ---with zero jitter. Micro and macro signals intermixed. With two ears doing this as a combined spaced pair, with the micro and macro intermixed temporal cues.

So what, specifically, does this mean for what specific class D amplifier? I could pull out a dozen measurements of your favorite Class A amp that show it is imperfect, and none of them may have anything to do with the perception of sound.

Eric, I’d love to pull all the lore out of my pocket and then, as I give to to all, it turns into money in their pockets (for builders and buyers), and better hifi for all as a final outcomes.

As that is how this works, the reality we are dealing with ..when it comes to talking on forums.

Since I worked hard, very hard, over decades, pretty well 7 days a week...in order to know this stuff inside out.... I’m reasonably reluctant to just give that away.

I need to be able to put food on the table in order to have the hard work be of use to me personally.

So, I’ll do the thing where I will make the self aware and willing to work at it, make them aware of the problem’s realities, aware of the fallacies of their argument..and then they can work it out for themselves. Which is all an intelligent thinking person actually needs--if not knowing where the mistake was made, but just to know the mistake exists, at all. That's more than enough.

If I was purely business minded and had zero empathy for my fellow man, I’d keep my damned mouth shut and let ignorance flounder, for as long as humanly possible.

Some of us say as much as we can in that spirit, but we still get beaten up by the remorselessly ignorant, no matter what good we try to do.
