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

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

Not all Class D amps are created the same just like SET or A/B SS amps or tube amps.

Spectron designs its own IECs and chooses parts that give it a very 'musical' sonic signature all things being equal.

Bel Canton uses modified B&O IECs and their sonic signature is a bit warmer than the Spectron or many SS amps...all things being equal again.

I agree with the other posters on cables and espcially the preamp. I use a Spectron with a tube preamp and it is anything but clinical, dry or bright.

Nick778, what is your preferred PC for the Spectron amp. . . and why? Thanks, Guido

hey guidocorona. yeah, the question is quite broad, but i was wondering if a class d amp had an inherent sound, regardless of design. like how tube designs, to me, are musically warped or colored in a sweet way. i've just heard repeated comments as to the sweet/smooth top end of class d designs.

thanks everyone for your input and time.

Either the future is already here or it's later than it's ever been.

There is at least one class D amp that is extremely neutral. Translation: extremely musical.

Can't speak for any other class d amp.

-IMO
