Class D is just Dandy!

As I had mentioned on another thread, I had for some time been considering purchase of the Bel Canto Ref 600M Class D mono blocks. After a second long listening session yesterday, I bought them, and just finished installing them a few hours ago.

The dealer ran them for several days for a little break in, but I recognize they will need a lot more to sound their best.

That said, they already sound great--lots of clarity and detail (with incredibly low noise floor), but more natural and musical than I previously heard from my Tripath Class D.

I will be doing a lot more break in over the next while, but for me these are already really dandy!

I think you are going to be very pleased with the Bel Canto Ref 600M monos. I just got my new pair installed a couple days ago, also replacing an ARC Class D stereo amp, model 150.2. The Bel Cantos already sound great, though I expect they will provide even more improvement with more break in.

My own theory is that ARC discontinued it’s Class D amps (and thereby all SS amps) to reduce and clarify product lines now that it is under common ownership with MacIntosh--ARC to concentrate on tube gear and Mac to do the big line of SS amps.

Yes, George, Bel Canto Ref 600Ms are very good.  I  am right now listening to absolutely splendid sound of Mozart Symphony #40 with them driving  Focal Alto Utopia Be speakers, sourced from Esoteric K-01 through an ARC LS 25 Mk II pre.

I could not be happier with the sound quality.

If the "T"  in your Class T stands for "Tripath"  that is a Class D module, so your amp would be Class D.  ARC and a few other manufacturers used this nomenclature  for Tripath based amps.
