Class D is just Dandy!

There is no such thing as straight wire with gain.  Every single inch of wire sounds different from every other kind of wire and even the directionality of the wire makes an audible difference.  Every single thing inside a power amp (class A, B, C, D or whatever) changes the sound.  This is why every class D amp sounds different from every other one.  They don't all have no sound or the same sound.  I did 14 mods to the IceEdge modules to make them sound more dynamic, musical, extended and transparent.  There is no end to infinity.  We have not reached any sort of final class D sound orgasm..  If class D sounded perfect with mosfets, then why would we be looking at GaNs?  Nothing is perfect on this plane....all is perfect in spirit......all is suppose to be this way....perfect in its imperfection.....and always we strive for more perfection.....hey, its fun!

Erik, three years later, and still going strong, excellent thread.  Class D is the bomb, and your thread would seem to amplify that message.  I purchased a D.A.C. older amp for my first try at Class D, A/Bs left something wanting.  My Signature Technology is a very nice tube amp, the cymbals never sounded right.  The DAC4800a was my first thousand dollar amp.  It has been a delight ever since, so much so, I purchased a used Maraschino 60 volt model.  Absolutely delighted with each.  The 4800a uses a toroidal transformer, the Maraschino a linear power supply.  Currently saving my money for another 60v Maraschino, will have to be new as these amps seldom come up in the used market.  In another class compared to my Acurus or MTX Soundcraftsman.  Use any adjective in the audio lexicon and these fit and fulfill those descriptors.  I would really like to hear a review about the DAC amps from you.  With respect, Jerry.

I'm afraid I haven't had time to go out and listen to a lot since the last show here in ... Long Beach? Newport Beach?

I've also gotten to a poin where I'm very happy with the sound quality at home but not the remotes. :) Seems bad for me to find a dealer to listen to gear I'm not going to buy.

Maybe I should ask manufacturers to send me gear to review instead??
