| Class D is just Dandy! NCore NC400 is a very simple to use module designed by Putseys for Do It Yourself implementations.As far as I know, the Theta Prometheus module is a full NCore NC1200 module, not a low end NC400. Hypex NC1200 cannot be purchased by individual audi... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @madavid0From a historical point of view, your statement has value. In olden days, let us say about 10 years ago, ICEpower modules taken by temselves produced the kind of sound, which were not particularly musical. There were in those days several... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! madavid0, the only time that I do not hear mesmerizing music with resolution, staging, imaging, macro and micro dynamics, authority, and amazing listenability with zero fatigue is when my class D Rowland M925 mono amps and the rest of my system ar... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Erik, have you considered asking my friend Merrill if he would let you audition a well-broken-in pair of NCore NC1200-based Veritas monos at your home? Here is Merrill's contact info:Merrill Audio Advanced Technology Labs, LLC80 Morristown Road... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I am with you Erik, I have not experienced yet an amp based on ICEpower technology as mesmerizing as NCore NC1200.... THis includes my old beloved Rowland M312 based on ICEpower 1000ASP. See my review of Merrill Veritas on PFO:http://positive-feed... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Erik, the big old ICEpower 1000ASP also had an output impedance of 1000… Perhaps that is one of the reasons why it outperformed the authority of the Boulder 2000 series in authority on Die Muzik…. Not sure of the damping factor of less ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Erik, the inability of class D amps to handle difficult loads is one more urban legend.... Most non-trickle down modules that I know have damping factors of 1000 or better, and deliver 30A or better..... NCore NC1200 for one thing drive my dif... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @noble100 Tim, I love your quote from the upcoming issue of Acta Philosophica Refutata (Vol XXVIII, Feb 29th, 2017.... I have not yet received this issue *Grins!*Jokes aside, it is my understanding that this conjecture -- it is not a theory in the... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! The NC1200/700 is an excellent foundation on which to design a seriously good NCore NC500 or NC1200 based amp. The fabulous Merrill Veritas mono is proof positive.However, NC1200/700 was designed by Putseys as a solid starting point, not as the ul... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @noble100 @neil_squiresNiel @neil_squires@neil_squiresand Tim, harmonic distortions lower than 0.005% have already been achieved in class D for a few years. One example is the Mola Mola Kaluga designed by Bruno Putseys using an enhanced NC1200 Nco... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @toddverronThere are not too many speakers with large side-firing woofers... Might you be using VIenna Acoustics Mahler speakers? I hav owned those, and they are amazing with class D amps.Guido | |
| Class D = Trash? @2channel8There @2channel8T@2channel8@2channel8T@2channel8TThere is s nothing unique in class D break-in and re-breakin.... Amps of any type, if sufficiently complex, will take hundreds of hours to break-in.... Even the basic music system in my To... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Thank you Eric, nice to see an Audiogon watering hole for fans of good class D amplification. Over the years, I have had a variety of very fine amps.... Among class D designs I enjoyed for several years the Rowland 312 stereo based on ICEpower ASP... | |
| Class D = Trash? @ retrofunkI have not heard the Thors yet, but I have tested at length the Merrill Audio Veritas and Teranis... My friend Merril makes wonderful amplifiers indeed, so I am not at all surprised that you are enchanted by the Thors. With 500 hours, y... | |
| Class D = Trash? @ jonasandezekielIf the amps are a recent purchase, they may not be properly broken in. Give them some 1000 hours of break-in... They should have sweetened considerably, and the bass should be rendered OK. However, until now, W4S has not been one ... |
