Class D amps that are superior to all or most?


Recently, I have heard about some Class D amps that may be close to the best there is regardless of class. Certainly, this technology has been in development for decades. The main issue has always been the switching power supply. In this regard, I have taken notice of AGD. They have created a whole new power supply that “switches” at a frequency 100 times the normal silicon based MOSFET. The designer uses a gallium nitride based PS. Interesting, it is enclosed in the KT88 glass envelope that sits on top of his amps. I am aware of two more pricey amps that seem to be also at the top- the Solution and the Merrill. There must be others that compete for the title. After my thread, “Is there a SS amp that can satisfy a SET guy?”, I am still on the quest.
Don’t want to spend $50K!

"Muting"
If your referring to keeping electro caps in great condition just by muting, no!
Only being switched off from the ac mains will do, either by the amps "AC power switch" or the ac wall socket..
George is wrong, in this case.  The muting circuit in the EVS1200 amp both shorts the inputs to ground and puts the amp in standby (turns off the main power supply.....so no caps are being charged).


NO you don't get it at all! In that case then you are wrong calling it a muting circuit as it’s nothing of the sort.
It’s an on off switch/circuit then, as everything gets turned off if the main power supply gets turned off as you said!
