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


I’m looking for a new amp & want Class D.

I’ve seen various brands mentioned, such as PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrel to name a few, but I’ve not heard any of them.

Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?
Which models should I be looking to demo?


Thanks

Georgehifi has been spewing class D disinformation for years
This deserves a retort, just for your information, I was the one who showed and posted all about this new GaN technology with it’s higher switching frequency and better dead time into this forum years ago.
"YOU CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH"

I agree that the newer and faster GaN transistors may allow class D performance to get even better. Interesting times for audio.
Hedging your bets there sunshine with that last statement, spoken like a true owner, seller or manufacture of present day Class-D technology, bet your one of the first to jump ship.

I’ve been using a pair of D-Sonic M3-600-M monoblocks


BTW Look at your D-Sonic M3-600-M monoblock Class-D modules

and compare them to the Chinese Sanway/pascal modules

Also use in the Rowland Continuum 2 pics and Sanway pics I showed here.

Like I said these modules were available for $100 each in lots of 10 on Alibaba
Certain users continue to pile on other members by essentially reposting attacks. This really needs to stop. If folks don’t stop engaging in this behavior, then the moderators will step in and delete the entire thread. I don’t really think the majority wants that to happen.

Members need only make their point once in a single post. Continually making the same critical point against a member in follow-on posts is abusive.

And to be clear, I’m the member who reported to the moderators that certain posts should be removed as being abusive to other members.
George has stated he has heard a variety of class D designs in a variety of threads.


Funny thing that George can cut and paste the same web links over and over again, but has trouble doing the same for his personal opinions.

I daresay George has spent more energy in all of Audiogon refuting people who like class D.

Since he spends so much time and effort, let him make his case for his personal experiences in each thread too. It is not up to us to chase down his previous posts to help him make his claims.
