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

Keep in mind Coffeey is using an amp that's almost 20 years old and probably shares time with a Bose Waveradio.

Got an Edsel in the garage?

Audiofeil: Had we but world enough and time. And infinite amounts of money ,then we would not have to seek the advice of others who are in a better position than we are to hear things and evaluate them. Colloms recently tested 4 class D amps. His mag. is supported by his subscribers and takes no ads. His advice is not colored by what is in his own economic interest. I simply listed his opinion, I neither endorse or reject it. My own interest in class D waned years ago. I listed a source for those who are interested. . To all of those who tell the posters that no ones opinion but ones own counts, that is ,in the final analysis, true, but no one forms an opinion in isolation. I fail to see the harm of listing a finding by a recognized authority ; it seems infinitely preferable to puffing oneself up and shouting that , OF COURSE, THE EQUIPMENT I USE [OR SELL] IS THE BEST.

Stanwal, I looked on the HifiCritic website, but did not find the actual article online, nor the list of models tested. There was only a paragraph listing brands: Bel Canto, NuForce, ProJect, Flying Mole, and the hint at observation on older consumer-grade devices by Sony, Yamaha, and Sharp.

My problem with Mr. Collom is his inappropriate application of the induction step to prove a negative. . . . he has examined some older consumer grade device, then at a later time, he has examined some newer devices which may not even represent state of the art, from his analysis, he extrapolates and generalizes that All switching amplifiers regardless of brand, model, design, past present and future, are inherently flawed.

I also looked on the site and couldn't find the article.

Stanwal you can always find an opinion favoring your own personal thoughts in todays world of the internet, the information highway. Mentioning Colloms test on class d amps is out of line for this thread, This is not about a shoot out of class d. Gvickerschtick is asking users of these amps this question.

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

I dont know if you have noticed but negativity of class D amps by some is an on going fact here on this web site.

You may want to reevaluate class D, your statement above
"my interest waned years ago" says you are not up to date with how fast this fine technology is moving in a positive direction. Positive feedback by professional reviewers out numbers negative concerning class D by a very large margin. Thats a fact do a google your self if you dont believe me.

Another fact the cost is not out of the box on most class d amps compared to there tubed and SS brothers which if i read your post right should interest you. The heat factor is a non issue and you dont need a dolly to move them around. The best thing is they are powerful easy to enjoy amps.
