georgie, you fall for that every single time.
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?

The "R"word gets thrown around so much anymore it loses its weight. A cloudy day is a result of systemic racism for Pete’s sake. Anyway, I LOVE my Wyred 750 LE. Yes, I even enjoy it more than my previous First Watt F7. I know that’s not going to go over well with most but it is what it is. I noticed my electric bill went significantly higher with the F7. A lot of times I leave the house two or three times in the day and I really don’t feel like shutting an amplifier off. If it’s class A, I certainly don’t feel like leaving it on for days. With my Wyred, I can. |
Hmm I have owned Class D, Class A, Class AB and there is zero chance I will ever use classe d in my main rig again. Class-D makes the music sound quantized with unnatural edges to the music. Good video unrelated on how quantization has messed up music. https://youtu.be/AFaRIW-wZlw |
