Class D Amplification Announcement


After 60 some odd years of disappointment, Class D has finally arrived. As per The Absolute Sound’s Jonathan Valin, the Borrenson-designed Aavik P-580 amp “is the first Class D amplifier I can recommend without the usual reservations. …the P-580 does not have the usual digital-like upper-mid/lower-treble glare or brick wall-like top-octave cut-off that Class D amps of the past have evinced.”

Past designers of Class D and audiophiles, rejoice; Michael Borrenson has finally realized the potential of Class D.

there is no top sparkle, midrange has never had lively crunch as A or AB no matter how many times you sell your selves they are so awesome, better than class A or AB,                ................Nobody says it's better than A- A/B...It's a "new sound" for people that like to try new things.......Chevy isn't better than Ford....It's just different. If you want to hear the difference and you have a pre amp...get the Orchard Audio Starcrimson mono blocks for $1599 and rock out..TAS Budget product of the year. Just Enjoy the music.

Class AB and mostly tubes....845's are the best I've found for SQ.......BUT, I just got the Peachtree GAN 400 with the Gallium-Nitride ganfet transistors....WOW. My system ( approx $15,000) took a Big leap...It's a "Different" sound.....more detail. That means it really raised my Pendragons to a new higher level of enjoyment   ...the GAN technology is what raised the SQ in class D......Ice and Purfi are the old class D...if you want to try what This new buzz is....Peachtree...Orchard both under $3,000 for GAN....

My Peachtree Pre/ Dac and Gan 400 Amp has about 100 hrs. of use....For $ 3500 for the pair...I haven't heard a combo so Musical...so Real...so alive ...so good for under 10K....darn close to AGD sound which is the best I 've experienced .  You're 95% there for a whole lot less $$.
