ICE Amps for classical music?

Audiofefeil, Upsampling, perhaps. Oversampling NO. I have proved that here many times to various people to their satisfaction. Class D is nothing like any tube or solid state amp;

Every cable that has gone through here have announced themselves according to their insulation regardless of price. They produce a haze of white noise on a fine Class D system.

These are not a matter of choice for class D owners. They are a matter of realistic sound versus poor hifi, as the Weseixas test with Sony exemplified.

I stand by my words, and your countering does no good to those who choose class D amps.

You are a dealer, your rant exposing motive.

Bill, inadvertently you have used a term that can be interpreted as a remark "ad hominem".. .

From the American heritage Dictionary:
1. disingenuous. adjective. Not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating: "an ambitious, disingenuous, philistine, and hypocritical operator, who ... exemplified ... the most disagreeable traits of his time"
(David Cannadine).

I am of course positive you did not mean any of it. I am sure you agree that we should maintain the most urbane level of discourse on this board.

Thanks for your help, Guido

Thank you Weseixas, could you post the exact system configuration you used in the test, including cabling/PCs complement? If you already have, my apologies.

How long had the 2 amplifiers been warmed up before being inserted into the active/live audio chain?

I am not trying to dispute your opinions. . . just hoping to get complete context, so your findings gain greater applicability. G.

Is it possible the BC was revealing something in the source if the high end sounded "grainy"? Just speculating. I do not hear anything resembling grainy in my setup.

More info on what was listened to and SOn source model, ICs, etc. would add some context as GC suggests.

Muddy bass? That baffles me. Having owned Maggies prior, I'm wondering if the BC is exposing anything there? Bass dynamics on Maggies are a lot different than what I am running these days.

My house is wired with commercial grade 4 conductor moderate gauge copper stranded and vinyl shielded speaker wire, nothing fancy, and performance even with that is fine, though perhaps not quite as open and extended as the Audioquest cv6 SCs I run to one pair in the same room as the electronics.

Just speculating...

Guido, I'm sure proper etiquette and paid advertising have no correlation to one another.
