I think quite a few folks have gone to Class D amplifiers using tubed pre-amplifiers. @milpai
Very very few replaced tubes with Class D. Is that right?
New Class D amplifiers
Hello. I'm very interested in getting your opinion on the newer Class D amplifiers. There has been a couple of very positive reviews (by Guttenberg) of the Bel Canto C6i and NAD M23. These, and perhaps some others are offering new technology that significantly lower the class D noise level and other drawbacks.
I currently use a Class A amp, Pass Labs INT-25 (with Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers) which has a wonderful sound. But I am transitioning to another location, and due to using Roon primarily I find that this system stays on most of the day. Due to heat and power usage of Class A amplifiers, I'm interested in translating to Class D if I find something comparable.

Like I said @milpai most are using that configuration is it that confusing? And yes many have converted from Tubes to Class D. |
It looks like my question is confusing you. Did I ask about configuration? I don’t care about that. I was hoping owners to chime in, on which type (solid state OR tube) of amp they replaced with Class D. But good to know that you replaced a tube amp with Class D. There’s only a handful of user reviews that I have come across that mentioned about replacing tubs amps with GaN. Not come across people who have replaced tube amps with Purifi or other Class D. |
@milpai they are out there good luck in your search. |
