Class D question...............

Oh God! Now you have given me hi school visions of Jesuit Priests, paddles in hand staring down at me while I try to spew out a dead language. I was wholly a morbid affair. Thanks.

Whether class D is sweet, neutral, dry and clinical, or warm and fuzzy all depends on what and how you feed the class D amp. All cable choices, source, and preamp are critical to your class D amp's performance. This is much more so than for conventional amps.

Jw94055 is right.

Stanwal you have to know the audio business enablers choke at the thought big expensive amps can be usurped by less costly (less profitable) alternatives. It is in the publication's interest to prolong the golden audio stair case. Stereophile printed a similar article. There are many thousands of us who know better.

Above I said the performance of even the best of class D amps will vary widely depending on associated components.

In my own system, my sound has run from dark and moody, to extra warm and bold, to spacious and airy, to now, well balanced throughout the frequency range of 20 to 20k, detailed, delicate, powerful, sweet; just where I want my sound to be. Imagine, that variation using the same amps all the time.

That is why I want to know every wire, tweak, and component any negative reviewer has before I believe he is giving a class D amp a fair hearing.
