Anyone Recently Change to Class D power?


Sell your Class A or Tube gear and truly improve your SQ?

Some recent reviews have me wondering if "D" could be better?

It is certainly more compact, lighter and cooler. 

Let's say your price point is $10k Max. No stretching.


Anybody been down that rabbit hole recently?

Await your experiences.

"Mr. Pass feels it not worth pursuing for safety reasons I am told.
But any amp can burn down your home, right?"

?????????????????

Weird. 
Safety????  You would think high current amps that run ultra hot would be far less safe than lower current amps that are cool.  You can debate whether they sound good, but I don't think there is any criticism in terms of safety of Class Ds.  

What speakers are you running?  Your going to get very different recommendations for Harbeth or Vandersteen vs Kef or Magico.

This would be a good place to reintroduce the Technics integrated. I read the reviews. Very Impressive



Good point, for others that may not have seen it yet.

The soon to be launched GaN Technology, Technics SU-R1000 Class-D Integrated, that has everything, including the kitchen sink.

Here’s the Agon thread for it.

And the vinyl junkies, will love this.
For phono input, the new amp employs digital technology to achieve an accurate EQ curve, the precision of which is defining new standards. An included Calibration Record allows for the measurement and compensation of the cartridge’s crosstalk and frequency response using “Crosstalk Canceller” and “Response Optimiser” (both are world firsts*) for ultimate vinyl record performance.
