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

ricevs,

     Thanks for clarifying.  I knew it was a class A input buffer stage, which is good, but wondered if its 250mA class A operating limit would negatively affect sound quality performance.  I now understand it will not thanks to your very good explanation.

Thanks,
  Tim

     It looks like Bruno Putzeys new company, Purifi, has more interests than just class D amps:

What if they are not?
Like their directional ac mains fuse, there is only one answer to that.

Speaking of directional mains fuses check out the latest and greatest super power cords from the leader in power cords, Audioquest. They’re controlled for directionality. Doesn’t that burn your butt, Georgie Boy?! 🔥

Hello @aolmrd1241 and @KLH007, I will post some observations about the darling Rowland M535 tomorrow... It won't be the complete review, but I'll try address some differences between M535 in stereo mode, and a bridged pair.


Saluti, Guido
