The Truth about Modern Class D

All my amps right now are Class D. ICEpower in the living room, and NAD D 3020 in the bedroom.

I’ve had several audiophiles come to my home and not one has ever said "Oh, that sounds like Class D."

Having said this, if I could afford them AND had the room, I’d be tempted to switch for a pair of Ayre monoblocks or Conrad Johnson Premiere 12s and very little else.

I’m not religious about Class D. They sound great for me, low power, easy to hide, but if a lot of cash and the need to upgrade ever hits me, I could be persuaded.

The point: Good modern Class D amps just sound like really good amplifiers, with the usual speaker/source matching issues.

You don’t have to go that route, but it’s time we shrugged off the myths and descriptions of Class D that come right out of the 1980’s.

Looking forward to your complete retraction of your false claims regarding Class D and output phase.

I will be kind and suggest that you going "wow, I'm sorry, that was incorrect" is going to be a lot easier on you than me writing up a post about why it's wrong.

Really, fixing your own mistake is going to give you character.

erik, et all


let’s stop feeding the troll. He is clearly lonely for attention, apparently of any kind, and knows how to push our buttons. In my case at least I am officially no longer giving his comments the time of day


Do we have an Ignore feature?

Still can’t see the forest for the trees yourself, parroting BS spoon fed to you by others, probably that have commercially involved instead of looking for yourself.

Put them on the bench yourself and see, if you even have or know how to use bench test gear, which I strongly doubt very much the way you carry on.

Over and out

What's up with GaNfet? Let's discuss new items. I think this year will be a breakthrough, thanks to new technologies. It's time to invent penicillin for hi-fi. Thanks to the progress..
