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!

Georgehifi, price don't always dictate performance and you sir do not have my speakers. Mark Levinson builds conventional amps very well but maybe he should leave the design of Class D amps to manufacturers that have had a good track record of building excellent sounding Class D amps. Class D does require experimentation, careful matching with the right speakers, interconnects, power cords and preamps to get the most out of them.
A well designed Class D amp will bring you in and draw you closer to your music. You also will hear deeper into your music and the details you never knew existed before suddenly appear as if previously you've been listening  in a fog bank. My analogy/ the difference would be like looking through a dirty pane of glass as opposed to a sparkling clean one. I own two Class D amps and love them!
Boneman73, I think the word magical does apply because I was stunned how good my turntable sounded with my Class D amp, it never sounded that way before with a conventional designed amp. It just raised the bar on an enjoyable listening experience.
