I bought his (Tom's) Ganfet Class D amp as an experiment. It ran into some trouble and I communicated with Tom and demonstrated that I had tried all combinations to make sure it was the amp which was the problem. He took it back, no questions, and upgraded it with the latest circuitry and sent it back quickly. I have no issues with Class D as a company. |
Well, it could have been a DIFFERENT Tom mono block, but I don't think so. Noone has mentioned that in the resurrection post above Tom came back as a mono block, but he has both left and right channels. This is because during his resurrection he received not balanced, or unbalanced circuitry, but, rather, IMBALANCED circuitry. So, as a result, he sometimes goes right and sometimes left. All depends on the time of day and his mood... ,,,and the Cavaliers were trying to get at his speaker posts with legs uplifted but I stopped them thinking that would be unkind to a tearing mono block. |

Tom was unfortunately influenced by his cousin, Tom-Tom, who had CTE from being struck repeatedly. Back to reality: I did a LOT of research on class D amps (not just features, but how they are said to sound) to use with high-quality studio monitors (ATC SCM12 Pro) on my space-constrained desktop that simply couldn’t accomodate a sufficiently powerful class AB amp. I ended up getting used Wyred4Sound ST500, which is very powerful yet not huge. Because it throws off zero heat even w/full load, I have it standing on one side snugged up against my tower PC. The ATCs are transparent, truth-telling speakers, and they tell me this amp sounds rather good. |
I wonder if that’s the same Tom that worked for me about 30 years ago. He told me about his father, who taught airframe and powerplant for the AirForce in WW2. His father had a saying that he always put on the chalkboard at the beginning of each semester- ’If there is a way to assemble it wrong, someone will find a way to do it." This became known on the base as Murphy’s Law, since it was named after the good professor. So the Son of Murphy worked for me for while and oddly, after he left, bad things happened a bit less often. |

Out walking the dogs and saw a monoblock on the side of the path; looked closer and there was a tear coming out of its right channel. “What's the problem?” “I'm a single monoblock living in a stereo world. Noone wants to turn me on (apologies, Norah Jones)” “Well have you thought about losing some weight? Maybe then you'd be more appealing. What do you weigh – 50, 100 pounds?” “147 last time papa Pass weighed me.” “Well try a diet – maybe play some light classical – Leroy Anderson or Andrew Loyd Weber. What's your name, btw?” “Tom...they used to call me Tom.” And another tear appeared – this time from the left channel... |
sfcfran"ClearlyNotThinking makes a habit of running around AudiogoN with anger issues that he makes everyone elses issues, spoiling the environment for all. I understand that is it uncomfortable, unpleasant, and unwanted for you little children hear to have to actually interact with the adults who quickly and decisively detect you're silly nonsense and that promptly, thoroughly, and plainly alert the other others user's here to your misconceptions, misunderstanding and profound enduring ignorance of matters relating to audio. |

If think this isn’t fair on Tom, since the accident he’s been far from upright, in fact he’s been bed bound for a few months now, and we all know the accident was down to his small high end issues. I mean seriously who thinks it’s ok to ride a motorcycle naked? Even if he was called out to Service a problem on some stuff at 3am. I’ve never really seen eye to eye with Top, which was mainly down to him being a very small man, nevertheless I wish him a speedy recovery and every success. Thumbs up to Tom |
Confusing OP, but hope all is well. So I have a 4 channel SDS-470 and it's excellent. Runs Mag 3.7i with authority, great soundstage, and power I haven't fully explored. Compares well to Primare A34.2, which is OK except it trips a safety shutdown at random times with vinyl playback (requires power reset). No problems with Class D Audio amp, no shutdown issues. Not affiliated with Tom or his company. Just a customer. |

Why do we need those heavy class A amps that are essentially perfect as regards waveform and use all that electricity? Class D is the wave of the future and only lacking a catchy phrase such as: "If its good enough for Tom, its good enough for me!" |
