My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong

I’ve heard it. Sorry, no go.

The NAD, from my understanding is a hypex. And that’s bog standard class D. If you seek a high quality low priced mediocrity and want to call it excellent.... then class D is your savior, your champion.

Sure, whatever you want.....

I’d be happy to be wrong about that (sort of, no one likes crow) but I’m afraid I’m not.

Anyway, you are just trying to start up some long convoluted circular thread. Again. Some gambit to get everyone to scratch each other's eyes out. Grow up.

The NAD, from my understanding is a hypex.

From your understanding? So your blowing all the smoke about how something is engineered and you haven’t even listened to it?

If you haven’t used class Ds why on earth would you offer up a general opinion that seems to encompass ALL class Ds.

I’m getting ready to roll out the Mac and Cary valve unit and roll in class Ds Nord One Up for the summer. There are Krell class A, Threshold A/Bs, and a few others to chose from..

I’ll take the Class Ds over all of them just because of the heat index and the great sound quality.. They sound GREAT. Not perfect, not an A/B or class A amp.. BUT really really GOOD..

teo_audio you’re a broken record.. OR are they ALL (Records LPs) bad too?

It always get ME how people take a position AGAINST something that they’ve NOT had an experience with, BUT read or were told or have seen or FEEL, that class ds are just, bla bla bla...
(I like the song Bla, Bla, Bla though :-))

Grow UP! Ditto, Bucco, quit parroting what you HEAR and work on the principal of YOUR Own Due Diligence.

"Class D is still awful", from that point on I knew you didn’t have anything worth listening too. That is a SILLY statement.. Just SILLY..

If you don’t like the sound that’s fine.. Attacking a typology that has done nothing but get better and sell more and More and MORE.. How long has class D been around putting a serious DENT in amp manufacturing? A WHILE!!

That DOG don’t HUNT. Sales don’t lie..

Little long in the tooth, mercy..

So it is a keeper Erik?

I have a pair of Wyred 4 Sound SX1000 (not the R) they were sure powerful with my planar combination. It took good cables to bring out the  luster so to speak.. They are ICE but the early version.  I was tinkering with the tone control for sure. The bass was a -2 and the treble a +1 or so. I haven't heard ANY of the newer Ice modules.

I been looking at the Purifi though.. It's sure getting a lot of good press and reviews.. A few bad ones.. I think that ONE was pretty predisposed to see Purifi in a LESS than neutral light.. Tough I suppose.. I never found it hard though.. Being honest with myself..

I'm my own worst critic. :-(, :-), :-l, :-0.

I have to disagree, my AGD GaN amps are miles ahead of the older tech and design in sound SQ and i have heard all of the NAD products from the 33 down. You cannot even compare.

Bashing class d is nonsense and does the basher’s credibility no favors. You either like it or not. Just like everything else. It’s that simple.
