No, if I were a betting man, I wouldn't put money on any of these answers. Why do I get the feeling class of operation is being confused with single-ended vs. push-pull? Where is any mention of bias level? What is this stuff about "adjusting power envelopes" and "gain levels" and "switching"? No, no, no. I'd bet none of this is really correct (if I were a betting man), just more confusing. I can feel it in my gut! Well intended, yes, and touching on some valid points, but nowhere a fundamentally sound, reasonably comprehensive answer to the technical question asked. Like where a sine wave ends up relative to a zero-crossing line on a graph depending on its amplitude, and what that implies. Or how output devices operate. And what is non-linearity. But I am not qualified to explain it all either, so I'll wait for some EE to come along and set things straight. Or surely there must exist some good links for this stuff?
what is diff: Class "A", "A/B", and "B"
I am confused as to the meaning of the various categories of amps/pre-amps. Is a class A necessarily better than a class a/b or c etc. Would someone care to briefly list some of the brands that fall in these categories and why?
I know, it's a small question.
