If you have not heard Purifi super tweaked, GaN super tweaked, etc.....you have not heard what class D can do. Have you heard AGD? Have you heard the new Merrill MX amp just shown at a show? Have you heard the Atmasphere monos? Have you heard VTV with latest Purifi and discrete buffer on input? Have you heard the Ultra stereo from Orchard? Or the now gone big Cherrys?....or the Apollon amps? Have you? What is possible RIGHT NOW is not what was a few years ago. It would be good to mention what class D you heard and when you heard it for reference. Class D is changing all the time and getting better and better. We shall see if Mytek can finally bring out their GaN based amps soon.....they said recently the mono blocks would start shipping in sept......of course, they were suppose to ship last summer. Their modded Pascal based amps are pretty darn good so these new much more expensive GaN based amps have to be much better......or they won't sell. I wish you a happy class d day.
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.
