Class D amps

New to Audiogon since April 2010 isn't new. And the initial post was not as much a question as a statement that was not true.

I would be more tolerant of an innocent question compared to an inaccurate statement. There is already too much misinformation and repetition on this site.

Some of you guys (gals maybe-not you Elizabeth, you're cool) need to learn to be nice. I'll bet you'd have better manners if Nordic587 asked you face-to-face. Jeez.

I've been a music lover and hifi hobbyist for almost four decades and it still seems like there are sharks lurking to pounce on my posts sometimes. I'm a big strong guy and I could probably kick your butt.

Kij,
Add to your list 'International Rectifier'. I have one of 'em out in the garage needing a power supply......it is one of the development boards given or sold to people contemplating using them in OEM applications.

I may be the only other "gal" lurking around here apart from Elizabeth and I'm pretty darn nice! LOL!

Actually the question posed by the OP is of interest to me as I have the Wyred for Sound dec 2 and when my old Classe gives up the ghost, the Wyred integrated amp would be of interest. When I first began reading about amps and such years ago, no one ever spoke of Class D so I'm still a bit foggy about what it means, some of these posts have been clarifying.

It is very simple in concept and offers a very high efficiency but has proved to be quite difficult to implement without running into problems more conventional amps don't face. Which is why amps which should theoretically be small and cheap end up as big and expensive as conventional amps. As you can see from the above comments opinion on the sound quality is really divided.
