Class D is just Dandy!


I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

*G*....and I've yet to see or hear a Class A amp'd cell phone....

Not that I expect 'serious response' from the speakers in one....that's what Bluetooth is for....;)

(Back to the serious discussion....)
I want to interrupt y'all for a millisecond and make the observation that this is the most positive thread of it's sort in progress on AG at this time.

Thanks, Eric....and all y'all that don't feel threatened by a 'new tech' that's beginning to make it's mark on the thing we love....the reproduction of the music we fill our lives with.

The more support you give it, the better it will become.  Twas always thus...;)
....and I'm happy to see that this thread is having some relatively 'healthy' give 'n take. *G*  (Knuckle bump to Eric)

D will become Dominant; it's just a matter of taming the beast to become 'tolerable' to those of us with 'sensitive ears'...

*S*  Yes, that's a tad snide, but y'all have to be a little patient for the designers and manufacturers to 'get it down'. ;)

I won't be surprised if some wag comes out with a D amp that has a option that would duplicate the 'sound' of an A, an A/B, or whatever...  Perhaps a function labeled 'Variable'. *L*  Twiddle 'till you're seriously happy or seriously disgusted....

Ah, the Future....Live It, or Live With It.... ;)


*L*  Yeah, that cuts to the chase, doesn't it...;)

At the extremes of 'performance', there's 'differences' in the nuance between the various amp classifications.  No doubt, no kidding, and no big surprises there.   When tubes met transistors, I remember the 'dust up' over that...and then, tape vs. vinyl with cassettes....and then the CD format began the digital 'evolution'.  We're still 'A/B'ing THAT...

Will there Ever be a resolution over Anything?  NO. *L*

We all approach things with different expectations over (as far as my experience goes) Any Damn Thing you can bother to name to me. *L*

Our audio, cars, homes, spouses, children, friends, employment, the *sshole next door or the nation/state on the other side of the f'n planet.
It doesn't surprise me that the aliens are staying away from us for that reason, either.

We're so damn fractious that we'll argue over the color of daylight.  I'm happy that we can co-operate at all...

I apologize...I don't mean to launch into a rant 'n rave, but Sometimes...  the obvious seems to escape us.  You will like what you like.  You will disdane what you don't.  I may think you are out of your mind; you will feel the same towards me.  That's fair.  As long as you like what you've chosen to surround yourself with, I'm good with that and will wish you well.  If I choose to squat in garbage, well...if I'm smiling, that ought to do it for me...;)

There's more important things at the end of the day...right?

I like D.  It's evolving.  We are, too.  'Twas always thus, and will always be.  Just relax, and watch the floor show.  Try to be entertained...*G*
