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?

Every class of amplification and every amplifier itself, has advantages and disadvantages. Class A, AB, D, tube amps, single ended triode, etc. There are things that my current class D amplifier excels in that my previous First Watt F7, Almarro a318b, E.A.R. 890 and others did not and vice versa.

In the end, amplifiers are like women:
Which one do you want to live with on a day-to-day basis without annoying you to the point where you have to move on to something else?
Which one has so many positives that you are willing to put up with the negatives?

It’s the same thing.

 Skynet will take over and we will all be servants to the robot kingdom. Forced to listen to Industrial Tranzsedentic Music for the rest of our existence.

John Conner let us all down.

Happy Independence Day.

My current Class D amp is the AGD Audion.
There are about a half dozen+ Forum members all saying the same thing… they are uniquely superb.

A brand new result of the unique performance of the AGDs is that every record in my collection is now highly listenable, to say the least. Regardless of recording quality, the AGDs bring out the essential beauty. Quite a bargain for a whole new LP collection!

That’s great, I’m not saying/never it’s not with the right speaker loading.

I’m correcting someone who has attempted to misinform the members here, about what speakers they can’t drive to their best, either through total lack of EPDR load understanding or outright just wishful thinking because they own one, and think they are the answer to everything🙏
