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!

Have a Dayton T120 amp.  Class D.  Replaced it with a Yamaha Receiver for now because I needed something that had more inputs and could also play nice with my Tuner.  Have read and can confirm that at least in the case of the Dayton amp, it creates so much noise with a tuner that it is useless for trying to use a tuner with it.

Has anyone else had this problem?  If so how did you get around it?

Perhaps I can buy some IC's that are six feet long and put the Tuner several feet from the Dayton to see if that solves the problem.  

Not sure what is causing the issue.  My cassette deck plays just fine with it.  Noted the instruction manual for some of these Class D integrated amps mentions that Tuners and Cassette players may have shielding problems from the noise coming out of the amp itself.  May be a design issue with the cheaper Class D amps.
