Class D is just Dandy!

So, My two cent begins with , "Have you ever heard of (Flying Mole), amps"? I imported some of these a few years back after a friend in Japan recommended them. The one's I received were about the size of a paperback novel. They weighed under 2Lbs. and were housed in a really beautiful, single piece of "Brushed Silver finished", aluminum extrusion. With a rounded front face. Beautiful piece of gear! And at that size and weight? 160Wpc @4Ohm! They use a, "Bi-phase tech.", that they invented.
 Paired with a "Schiit", "Freya", tube pre? I found that the Freya, with, "Sofia Princess, Carbon plate", type tubes sounded amazing! Alas I didn't need them as I went in a different direction. I am kind of sorry I sold them all! They were just $220 a pair from Japan at that time. And the story was that they were being developed by the top engineers at "Yamaha", in Japan when word came down that Yamaha would stay, "A/B", when it came to their component separates. The Yamaha crew quit, and started the, "Flying Mole" company. They finished the amp and debuted them to a people un-willing to embrace the tech.  "At that time".
  I also had a 13.6.4.3, surround system for a bit in which I used
 three, "Rotel", "RMB-1575", amplifiers with allot of success. Five channels each, 500Wpc, @4Ohm, weighing in at 22Lbs. and making LESS heat than my, "Chihuahua"!
   I did go to, "All tube, All the time, though", awhile back. With, "Manley Lab's", but that will eventually change. 
 The "ZOTL", tube amps do interest me. And since I do live near to Mr. Bern and his Company. I shall be hearing a few of those soon. 

with In my experiences with good quality class D ampsThey just faithfully amplify the inputted signaout adding or subtracting anything. They’re like the audio amp ideal of a "straight wire with gain".

which I have proved couldn’t be further from the truth

I have a feeling there’s another new Class-D coming.

Yes it was the very first Class-D I listened to and tested back in around 2004, sorry wasn’t pretty, in sound or test against my Threshold Stasis S500 Optical at the time on the ML Monoliths.
Then I got a Channel Islands Class-D with linear supply, better but still not near hiend.

Since then the only Class-D that has piqued my interest was the BelCanto 600M monoblocks but only on a 2 way speaker with a very benign 6ohm load, with Raal ribbon

Hey @georgehifi

Remember this:

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

I'm curious why you'd want to participate in this thread, with exactly the same 3 arguments you've made before. Over and over again, especially since it seems to most readers you keep attempting to hijack it.

Is there a new argument? Is there some reason why you don't actually go start a Class D bashing thread and leave this one for those of us who like Class D?

Also, you have been debunked 50 ways from sundown. Over. And over. And Over. By everyone.

Best,

E
