Greg,
Really wish people would not make such broad blanket statements about amplifier classes based on single samples of unnamed equipment and a rather weird circumstance.
The wide variety of Class D amplifiers, and their power supplies, as well as the variety of linear amps really should not encourage this kind of argument.
I have a Luxman integrated. Sometimes when I turn my ceiling fan off I can hear a small pop through the speakers. Should this put me off all integrated amps?
Of course not.
If linear amps were immune to noise audiophiles wouldn’t be plunking down tens of thousands of dollars on power cables, boutique conditioners and putting new power meters on the outside of their homes to isolate them. 🤣
I also find it interesting how often extremely non-specific, Class D bashing posts show up on Audiogon.
