Explain what is a clean power amplifier?


Can someone explain what makes and define what a clean power amplifier is or does?  I have googled and searched the forum and haven't found a simple explanation to grasp. 

Thanks

If Class D is too clean there are a few simple tweaks you might try. Obvious but slow is to just let the dust build up. If the sound is a bit dry and gritty and you would like a smoother softer focus try the Playboy Tweak, a thin coat of vaseline. Very popular all through the 80's. Keep in mind a clean amp is just the beginning. Don't forget to clay, polish and wax. 
Deed I do! Its why there's TC and Mats all over the place, all the way out to the meter. With more coming soon!
You're right! I completely unplugged my amp from my dirty house AC and it sounded wonderful! For about five seconds. Then it faded out. Plugged it back in. Crap dirty sound again. Unplugged, clean power! But only for seconds! How can I get clean power to last longer???
If you want a really clean amp, I suggest solid state. Tube amps sound better but have too many nooks and crannies that are hard to keep clean.
