2. amps-preamps

Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?

I am certainly biased by my lifetime final amp being a Class D. But I know that after 30+ years of development, Class D seems to be on a high plain. I know there are now many, many companies focusing on Class D and, maybe, a good handful already as good as it gets. My Class D amp is as smooth and beautifully musical as a great tube amp and as punchy and detailed as a great SS amp. I am satisfied and done with my search. A class D amp has effectively taken me off the amp merry-go-round. It’s about time after 50 years. And, for me, this Class D is a milestone. Will all other classes of amps fade away?

I use a  ICEedge 1200AS2 based amp in my main system and a Purifi Audio 1ET400A amp in my bedroom system.  Both are tempered by tube preamps and I have absolutely no complaints. 

I live in the Caribbean so cool running and power economy (electricity is expensive here) were high on my shopping list. I can't really say that I find the class D amps sonically different from the class AB amps they replaced.  

I assume there are sonic differences, but my 55 year old ears are unable to discern them, so I couldn't care less.

You need to stop huffing your own fumes.
