Class D vs Class A


Valvet 3.5 vs Nuforce ref 9 v3se.
Efficient and powerful vs power hungry and sweet consider pairing with Zen Adagios.Considering switch from Nuforce to Valvet will I miss the power?

Tim: I'm having the same experience with mine. mine probably has about 20 hours and man! what a difference 20 hours have made! its fun reading other owners' experiences as their amps evolve. can't wait to hear what mine does.

I think as long as amp designers are listening the the things they build, they should be able to make things sound great built from switching amps or blue cheese. Class D is obviously here to stay and Diavelet, Rogue, Bel Canto, and many others have been raved about...pro sound is all over it, and for me it merely means cold little boxes of juice and it bores me (except in pro audio PA stuff where I don't give a crap as long as it works and sounds clear). I think little moving meters would help...or organic looking art deco vibe design...something...ya gotta give me something...Diavelet stuff seems cool but looks like a steam roller flattened your toaster. Small amps with a switch and a little blue dot just don't warm my heart like glowing tubes packed with retro grease making jazz piano sound like it's right there...why would I want something else?
Hi Jorge,
By the same experience, I assume that you also bought modules and built your own amp. Which modules are you using?
I listened shortly last evening, I definitely had some minor improvements over the night before.
Hey Wolf. I put those lights under mine that they put under the low riders. Then on top I put an oil lamp with all those psychedelic colors. I also set mine up on bobble head doll springs. That makes the whole thing gently sway with the tunes. And man! It makes me feel fuzzy all over.
