I use a tube pre and the sound is both detailed and warm. I have heard solid state pre's with Class D and I don't like it." This may well be where I am headed some day when the time comes for a juicier amp in my system.

This speaks not only to a diseased mind, but also a certain amount of context. IMHO, with the right speakers (currently SF Cremonas), the Bel Canto is a wonderful sounding amp. Marty

I believe they use ICE from B&O in their class D amps. The Hypex (UCD), imho sound better. Try a Channel Island D-200 amp. The Channel Island amps may not be using the newest HG modules from Hypex. I'm not sure.
