Anyone Recently Change to Class D power?

switch to class d?

been there, done that.

goes against mother nature.

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.

I don't see anything impressive written about the new Techincs....you have one review where he does not compare to anything.  A review in Spanish where it looks like he rates the amp 3rd behind the McIntosh and Pass Integrateds and the comment by another person who said it was thin in the bass and mids....and another review where the guy says its not as good as the older R1.  I would call that non impressive.  i am sure there will be tons more reviews.....but right now......not looking great.
