Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?

Not to take away from this thread's intended question, but to defend Class D amps: if you haven't heard the Spectron Musician III Mk2, please don't rationalize that all Class D amps suck.

I chose mine after comparing it to my Karan KA I-180, Burmester 036 and Pass XA30.5.

George,

You're absolutely right! My Spectron is only mid-fi at best!

The question is, what does that make Karan, Burmester and Pass, since I chose it over them?

Why don't you e-mail Wayne Donnelly at "Enjoy The Music" and tell him that. After all, he chose it over the very expensive VTL mono-blocks.

Then, go and e-mail all of the reviewers who've given the Spectron very nice reviews that their hearing is obviously impaired.

Mid-Fi my A--! I'm glad that I've never been to your stereo shop, who knows what you consider as high-end.

Gary,

It's 500:1. What that means and why Zu says that it shouldn't be more than 200:1, I don't have a clue.

I know nothing of electronics workings and measurements.

Charles1Dad,

If you read my first post, I stated that I chose the Spectron over three other well known SS amps. Personal preference to be sure, but I never bad-mouthed any amp or any person. Anyone on Audiogon who regularly reads Glory's posts and ads expects that kind of remark from Gary as being, just Gary. Tomorrow he may say that Class D amps are the best in the world.

If you read my second post, like Kijanki, I'm more irritated that someone, especially a dealer, has the audacity to tell Audiogon members that their system components are mid-fi, whether it is or isn't by somebody's definition.

If I hear a system, but think that mine is better, why would I risk hurting the audiophile's feelings bashing it? To flat out say what George (TheSoundHouse) said is just arrogant and demeaning.
