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

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

Speaking of directional mains fuses


AND THERE IT IS!!! and the bait was very old and smelly.
Right on cue, mention one word about SR’s directional AC mains fuses, or HFT’s and the snake oilers sniff it out.

I owned a PS Audio Stellar 300 amplifier. Expansive soundstage and very high resolution. Dead quiet and ran cool. I left it on all the time because of a low current draw. If you are fixated on a Class D amp, this one is quality and won't break the bank.
