Class D Amplification Announcement


After 60 some odd years of disappointment, Class D has finally arrived. As per The Absolute Sound’s Jonathan Valin, the Borrenson-designed Aavik P-580 amp “is the first Class D amplifier I can recommend without the usual reservations. …the P-580 does not have the usual digital-like upper-mid/lower-treble glare or brick wall-like top-octave cut-off that Class D amps of the past have evinced.”

Past designers of Class D and audiophiles, rejoice; Michael Borrenson has finally realized the potential of Class D.

There Might be a day when class D shines, and it will be over priced for the Minimalistic bits of junk inside their box that’s the normal gouge. There will always be a market for wire scam as there will always be stupid gullible gifted with ridiculous cash. That’s the facts jack !

Class D arrived a while ago and at lower cost. I have a pair of Jeff Rowland Model 125s, a pair of AGD Audion monoblocks and a new Orchard Audio Starkrimson Ultra. All of them sound great. No glare, with plenty of power and headroom. Other than one Class AB integrated I still own, I have sold my class AB solid state monoblocks. 

Sorry, but it arrived much earlier with Bruno Putzeys' NCore series at Hypex.

I have a couple of MBL monoblocks purchased used, model N15.

They clearly sounded better than my ARC Ref 160Ms, even after tube rolling, vibration treatment and good power chords.  It took some burn in time to get rid of the traces of class D sound signature but now they sound like a very good AB class amp.  They are efficient, powerful and never get hot.  Only adjust I had to make in my system was using good copper wire.
