| Review: Kanto Yaro2 2 channel amplifier Hi honda6, Welcome to the exciting world of good class D amplifiers. I used the qualifier "good" class D since, unfortunately, not all class D amps perform as well as described in the review. There are now a lot of reasonably priced class D... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! migueca, I just read a review on the Temple mono-blocks that was very positive: www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0514/temple_audio_monoblock_amplifiers.htmat I've never heard any of the Temple Audio amps so I'm unable to provide ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi migueca, I agree with Erik that the main benefits of mono-blocks, regardless of the amplifier type, are increased headroom and channel separation but with the former being more obvious than the latter. Increased headroom in an amp is ma... | |
| Class D = Trash? Hi George, You're probably right, my old Aragon likely died a slow death with its performance dropping so gradually I failed to notice it was ailing til it seized up. However, I also noticed the exact same improvements when switching my de... | |
| Class D = Trash? stevecham, You asked:"I'm not reading consistent sonic and utility praise for the format. Why is that?" After rereading your post from 8-28-2017 at 1:00am, I now realize I may have misunderstood your exact question just prior to postin... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi autre, Congrats on choosing the Red Dragon S500 stereo amp. A very fine example of a class D amp done right. It utilizes the newer Pascal S-Pro-2 power module that is also utilized in the Jeff Rowland 525 bridgeable stereo amp and the Row... | |
| Class D = Trash? stevecham, You asked:"I'm not reading consistent sonic and utility praise for the format. Why is that?" I can only speak for myself but I think many class D users will probably agree with my answer to your question. I don't specifically ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Very nice to see almarg and atmasphere team-up, step up and use their knowledge/experience to solve islandmandan's noise problem. Nice job guys! What I've consistently noticed from listening to good class D amps in my system, from my init... | |
| Class D = Trash? teo audio, I haven’t heard the affects of music described like that before but I liked it.Well said! Thank you, Tim | |
| Need Power Amp advice trip, I used an Aragon 4004 MKII to drive a pair of fairly inefficient Magnepans for several years. It's a good amp that I thought sounded good in my system from top to bottom. I know from personal experience, however, that there's a very af... | |
| Class D = Trash? " Not one mention of the output filter that has to address the switching noise of the switching frequency, which is the Achilles Heel with present day switching frequencies."George, I understand the importance of having a good well matched pas... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! randy-11:"Can anybody list very affordable great sounding Class D amps - say below $2,000 for a stereo pair, and better or comparable SQ to a Sunfire amp?"I'm not sure if you're looking for a stereo amp or a pair of mono-blocks.But for stereo amps... | |
| Class D = Trash? George,You stated: "All your doing at the moment is trying to protecting your investment so it won’t take a monitory nose dive when this new technology becomes mainstream and finally puts Class-D into the hi-end Audio bracket, with today’s gr... | |
| Class D = Trash? Hi George, I think you're seriously under-estimating the performance of the many current good class D amps using switching frequencies around 5oo kHz. I say this based on my personal experiences with 3 different class D amps over the past 3 ... | |
| Class D = Trash? Hi George, You asked:"why do you think Technics have gone to the trouble to advance the class!"? Most likely to sell them at $30k each to gullible buyers. that believe higher switching frequencies amps actually sound better than the $630-$3,0... |
