It seems that many folks hear one or two examples of a particular technology and if they like them then they equate that like across that platform. And vice versa some do not like the one or two examples of a tech they've heard and so they think that all examples in that tech sound bad.
Erik, you and I, Guido, and Ralph (and I'm many others) know that Class D can sound good. Obviously Ralph thinks so since he is working on bringing a Class D amp to the market. We also know Ralph made his mark in tubes and so working to offer a Class D amp he is basically stating that Class D can sound good, maybe not like tubes, but good in an of itself.
For those who've heard Class D and don't like it, I challenge you to go listen to Mbl or TAD. They both have Class D offerings that are very very good. You can't judge a book by its cover or its categorization. Don't listen for the Class, just listen for music. You may be very surprised and preconceptions may just be shattered.
