@ricevs - Thanks for the offer, but I think there is lots of low hanging fruit to focus on before attempting to modify the Purifi module. At some point, I might consider it.
High end Class D amps?
Just an observation and a question. Are there 'high end' Class D amps out there that are just as good as Class A, A/B amps? I realize that's a sensitive question to some and I mean no disrespect---but whenever I see others' hifi systems on social media, all of the amps are A or A/B. There's always Pass, McIntosh, Moon, Luxman, Accuphase, etc. Where are the Class Ds? For folks out there that want more power for less efficient speakers and can't afford the uber expensive Class As, A/Bs, what is there to choose from that's close to those brands? Thanks

Yes, but none yet "so far" that have taken the full major advantage of the 1.5mhz switching speed on offer when GaN Technology is used, that Technics does with the 188lb SE-R1 that also uses linear power supplies, input ones are regulated. https://ibb.co/S6CFz5y https://ibb.co/wwH0vNr Here’s a little to read on the GaN transistor and it’s higher switching speed ability, that Technics have used. https://www.psemi.com/newsroom/pres...fastest-switching-speeds-to-gan-class-d-audio Cheers George |
So....I think I'll buy a VTV Purifi. I suspect I'm heading for disappointment again, but there's a 30-day trial so why not? Maybe I'll be wrong this time and I can convert over to class D. I have an all-tube preamp currently. I assume the tube buffer option isn't worth it but what about those op-amps? If all they do is impart color than I can rely on my pre. Is the custom input board worth it? |
