Class D question...............


Do you consider class D amps neutral or sweet sounding???

The Red Wine Audio 30.2 sounds pretty sweet to me. I have 5 SET amps, so that's where my tastes lie.
I have had the Nuforce ref9, Trends, PS Audio Treo, Flying Mole, but my favorite so far is the Winsome Mouse. Part of the reason lies in Audiofeil's reasoning. I have it matched with a pair of Silverline Minuets. They like each other very much. The sound is neither dry nor sweet. It has nice detail without harshness. Nothing sticks out, just the music. The implementation of the designer has a great effect on the sound. I think Class D amps are the future of audio amplification. IMHO
Redwine is T not a D amp but nonetheless a chip amp.Lower power for price so different animal.Has all the harmonics niceties of SET except of course "tube Bloom" but should not be compared on sound an price with D where it's reverse plenty of power for cheap $$$.

P.S really cheap D if you have insensitive speakers is Walter Lidermans (Underwoodwally here) direct sold Wyred amps.

Whether class D is sweet, neutral, dry and clinical, or warm and fuzzy all depends on what and how you feed the class D amp. All cable choices, source, and preamp are critical to your class D amp's performance. This is much more so than for conventional amps.
