Thanks to all for your input but one more question. One of the biggest complaints of Class D amps was that they are too sterile and just not musical is that still true with the ncores?
A BIG ABSOLUTELY NOT WITH THE NCORE NC1200! Again, try them in your system and see for yourself. I know that at least Merrill Audio has a home demo trial available. Some others might too. I Have had other well respected Class A and A/b amps of all price and watts in my system and also Class D and I HAVE NEVER HEARD AN AMP SOUND THIS GREAT.I am talking about amps costing from a few thousand to well over 25 thousand. Amps costing much more then that and I start to gage. I would call the sound truthful in its reproduction of the instruments and voices. And that is the rub, because some like the way some distortion adds to the sound. I am not faulting as that is a personal preference. But if you are looking for hearing the music and the instruments as intended then look no further. Though your other components may not be up to the task. This is one of those rare pieces that can show a weak link in your system and force you to find it.
As far as not being musical. When I demoed the Veritas monos in my system, I had a chance to have several fellow Audiophiles over and too a one all where taping their toes and bobbing their heads to the music. when I had a chance of taking the amps to other Audiophiles homes and played in their systems , the same thing happened.
So YES, I would say the Veritas are very musical.
While these are my opinions they are also those of the Audiophiles I spoke about above. And for the expected character assassins for posting, I have no financial interest of any kind with Merrill Audio or Hypex. I am just a BIG FAN.
