Class D is just Dandy!


I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

Hi migueca,

     Okay, 70W on the Zu Omen Defs is plenty of power; almost overkill.  I don't think it's too much since it's such clean, low distortion power  You're virtually guaranteed the amp will never clip and you'll have plenty of reserve power for transients.   I think you're really going to like class D with your Zus and I'm certain there'll be much less heat in your room.
     Sorry for the belated response, I just saw your post.  Have you got the amp yet? I'd like to hear your thoughts on the combo.

Enjoy,
Tim

This link is mainly about the Mola Mola pre/dac, but there are some comments about the Kaluga mono block class D amps.

The Mola Mola Makua and Kaluga have just received an award from AV Tech Media as best high end pre and power amp.

If you need to know any more about the Mola Mola let me know.

UK Mola Mola dealer.
Little known factoid.

AES17 brick wall filters allow Class D Amps to report specifications IGNORING all the switching noise above 20KHz!!!! And there is a LOT of noise....
Shadorne,

That's not really a factoid so much as an operating principle.

You make it sound as if the specifications are illegitimate, they aren't. The filter removes the noise you are talking about, so that the noise is on the inside, but not the outside (mostly).

Sure, if you measure any random point inside the filter, you can find horrible looking signals with little resemblance to audio. True could be said of any DAC though. :)

Best,


E
