High end Class D amps?
tweak1:" I have owned many different class D amps for over a decade. A few I would say would have benefited from a romantic tube somewhere in the system, BUT, D has gotten much better, especially in the high freqs, to where, IMHO, changing cables...

High end Class D amps?
Hello phillyb,      I've shared, and continue to share, your enthusiasm for high end class D amplification for over 6 years now.  Class D, in my experience, not only has the clear advantage over more traditional amp types in size, weight, operatin...
