GaN Class D amps are already outdated, it's time for GaN on Diamond!

Chifi

@mark200mph  - Now I'm curious, what do you have that is Class H?  How do you like it?

So the emotiva xpr 1 shiftr to class h in300wpc to to2 k wpc some of the old carver i think is class h like . Look at the specs on the emotiva xpr 1 it's as good as my michi m8 mono blocks

Yep, Carver definitely had some early class H designs. Some of them would go up in smoke too. Much later he realized his switching speed was too fast, and he’d end up in what we call a "race condition." Meaning, you have two circuits racing to be first, and sometimes it was a close tie and zap, short. :)

Of course, race conditions happen in software as well.

I believe in Carver's case it was a matter of one circuit not shutting off fast enough, sometimes.  IN that case you'd have two different voltage rails essentially short to each other, and hilarity ensued.

Have several carver amps including tubes all on surge protectors hope that keeps the house from going up.i like the 760x the specs on those are good but that was some of his last ones. They don't have grounds on the plug have read some shocking  experience as well
