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?

Is that you, skypunk, or is it earlflynn? Easy to get those two mixed up.
Good to see you dropped your selfie and have that aeroplane as your new avatar. Nothing like reinventing yourself, I’m told, but I’ve never had to do it.

As for my psyche, it’s never been better.
Your concern is so touching.
Are the meds working now?  😄

All the best,
Nonoise

Admin had a knee jerk reaction to the unfounded claims

All noise, when a subject is attacked for being snake oil, voodoo or whatever, that is fair game and keeps the shillers down.
But you then retaliate by attacking the poster or in the last case their dog personally. And that’s where the difference is, and why you get deleted more than anyone on Audiogon.🤦‍♂️

So back on topic.
As I said earlier I have bought a couple of Class D units by NAD and had kept one for out on the deck.

The M-10 I had firmware issues  and ran real hot.

Would like to try one of the Cantor tubed hybrid class D's though, on paper they look interesting.
May just buy a Technics G-700 to hear how it sounds in my system
Best regards
