It’s one of the first, commercial Class-D that came after the original Class-T (Google these also as they only used N channel fets which allowed in some cases a higher switching frequency)I wonder if this is the reason why I only like Tripath amps under Class D category. Class D amps other than Tripath, give me kind of fatigue after 30 minutes of music. When I put my Tripath amp back, I can listen to my Harbeths for hours.
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!

@phusis Which British manufacturer with pro amps? |
Thanks @phusis I wonder what the model is. I am always interested in under the radar products. |
@phusis just for the curiosity, I purchased a used T1500. The power is insane! I cannot even turn that thing on more than 9 o'clock! I did not do a critical listening but the fan is on at all times and it is not quiet :) I can get super long cables and put that thing in a different room, LOL. |
@phusis I already talked to MC2. They are very helpful and responsive. They told me I can do the replacement but I cannot get fans out myself. Looks easy but need an angled/suitable tools which I don’t have. About Noctua, they said it maybe risky to use if you don’t know what you are doing. Because the Noctua has metal parts on the fan and if it touches the heatsink, it will short out and damage the amplifier. I maybe after a T1000 which has an option to set the back fan to kick in when it reaches to 90 Celsius, the front fan is still on at all times. The T1500 has fans are always on design. Did you really hear a big difference when you changed it to more quiet fans or is it still there? I am only using it in my second system for now which is connected to NHT 1.5. |
