Digital Amplifiers

I have listened to the Rowland class D amp, the Nuforce, and the Spectron. The best in musical terms was the Rowland, the others were too shrill for me, dry, no texture, and rather sterile. I am a tube guy who likes valves in the line....Thre may be a place for them, but not with my maggies...Jallen

you go jallen, i agree , maggie and tubes are heaven, but not everyone likes heaven and even believes there is a heaven, yes there is plenty of one for these amps, as for lps, cds, tape, analogue, and all other technology...dwhitt

Hi Jallen, do you happen to know which specific models you listened to? even with the same manufacturer like Rowland, different models do sound quite different. Then the is the old break in issue. . . switching amps are notorious bears to break in. Bel Canto probably 500 hours. . . Rowlands probably 1000 hours. . . before that they can sound quite dry. G.
