Time to buy a class D amp?

Hello ptrck887,

Yes, the D-Sonic are excellent examples of class D amps that provide hi-end sound at bargain prices. Of course, there are even better class D amps available, such as Merrill Audio’s new Element 114 stereo amp that uses the new extremely fast switching Gallium Nitride transistors, but it’s priced at $15,000. Here’s a review:

But it better perform better when it costs over $12,000 more than your D-Sonic M3A-1500 mono blocks, which are their latest top of the line mono block amp model and utilize the latest very high quality power modules from Pascal. I use a pair of the slightly older, previous generation D-Sonic M3-600-M mono blocks, that were their amp model just below the M3-1500-M model, with Magnepan 2.7QR speakers and they’re the best amps I’ve ever used with them.
I’m glad you mentioned how "dead quiet your class D amps are because this quietness, along with a very accurate, detailed and neutral presentation, are the most obvious qualities I’ve noticed in all the good quality class D amps I own and have listened to.
The only difference I noticed between your description of your experiences utilizing class D and my own concerns performance on poor recordings. I find it’s become much easier to identify the quality level of recordings as well as upstream changes in equipment and cabling when using good quality class D amps compared to the good quality class AB amps (Adcom, McCormack and Aragon) I used previously.

Enjoy,

I used to have the pleasure of owning a McIntosh MC275.  That was when I used to sell audio.  At that time I also got to hear some rare Luxman tube amps...  And,  a friend's refurbished Dynaco  ST70.
Yes...  tubes have their benefits.   But, I no longer miss them.  I now own a NuPrime ST10. Modded with the TDSS modding.  I do not miss tubes anymore.  I also lived with a PS Audio Stellar 300 for a season. The Nuprime in certain ways is better at doing what tubes are known for.  Just make sure you have the right cables for your system.   

You know what?  I have had the best results with Class D.
I have had a pair of Anthem M1 mono blocks which run at 2000 watts per channel each when the input mains are at 240 V, which I run.  These amps absolutely blow away the Parasound Halo amp I had been running prior; that is the Class A/ AB amp which everyone says is so 'warm', touchy feely.... etc.  No contest; not even close.

The M1's are far more dynamic, cleaner, lower noise floor, far more open on the upper end and the low end is what people seek.   Couple the M1's with a Whest phono stage on the input side for vinyl and just sit back and relax.

I'm new to class D. About a year ago I bought a modded ps audio trying to build second system. For me first thing I noticed it took 5 days 24/7 to sound right, It has to have a very good power conditioner and descent power cord or I feel your wasting your time. I have tube and a/b amps they have never been that dependent on clean power. I started of with just a modded ps audio GCPH phono stage with volume control straight into amp. It was super clean an fast but became lacking. I wanted to try a big tubey Preamp so I found a used Bruce Moore. It sounded really good but not until I put Jupiter copper foils in the preamp. Copper caps and digital amps sound good together. For me it made the amp sound very natural. They use no electricity and aren't hot, I'm going to keep mine.

I have experienced this, and so have others. Weird.
