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!

First time Forum responder...aged audio dude...amps along the path include modded Electrocompaniet Ampliwire II (1980's start of good sand amps) ...modded Moscode 300...Muse 160 and now the direct digital NAD M2 integrated ($6K) with full Marigo dot treatment and fuse upgrade.  Small room with Salk Veracity HT1's (sealed for added detail) & a pair of Paradigm Ultracube 10 v.2 sub woofers, also Marigo dotted.  I was raised in a household of live music, nearby cousins becoming professional musicians.  My musical "truth" is instruments and vocals sounding as they do in real life, without amplification.  In a hi fi, it begins with good electricity..good grounding and dedicated lines with good outlets.  I've been exposed to uber systems, including Volti Audio, better new Marigos, large Kings, Emerald Physics, Tannoys... plus.  The NAD M2 simply BRINGS IT! with refinement, depth, stage, air and full slam of the expensive stuff.  Without the Marigo dot treatments, things were a little bit "hi-fi" sounding, a bit dry accompanied by that detachment that can happen with digital sources.  My audio niche is finding great stuff on a reasonable budget, and making it come more alive with ancillary upgrades.  I have several audio buddies who have gone from excellent tube and SS amps to versions of the NCore amps without looking back.  The time is here.  Pinthrift
