| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? jetter, The Stereophile reviewer heard significant sound quality improvements with separating the PS 700M monos and having them both on amp isolation stands rather than stacked. I'd suggest just trying the amps both ways in your system a... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I read the Stereophile review on the PS 700Ms and it was very positive. The review was from Jan./2018 and the reviewer had just previously reviewed the AA DPA-1Ms. He thought the PS 700Ms were superior and even compared them to being s... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? tweak1, Forgot to mention: I think it’s very interesting that your getting PS Audio 700Ms and the gaincell dac/pre at a great price. I’m always interested in learning about others' experiences and views on class D amps and other equipment. ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? No problem. I think the biggest news of this thread is Atmasphere's upcoming introduction of a class D amp that will likely eliminate dead time with new circuitry that has a patent application pending and doesn't even require the use of... | |

| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... Grasshoppers, Confucius say:" Discussing politics, religion or best amp like sticking one's head in hornet's nest: no good will come of it."Tim | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? tweak1:"Well, just because they both use UcD does not mean they sound the same. I found the EP monos thin in the mids, which exaggerated the highs. They were used with my KCIIs as is the AA amp." Agreed. That's what I meant when I stated "I d... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello Tweak1, Thanks for the heads up on the AA amps. I'm currently using the EP in bridged mode on my Magnepan CC3 center ch. I discovered both the AA and EP amps use the older UcD class D power modules that are still very good. Since... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? tweak1, It sounds like you have a lot of experience which I think is critical in building a system you really enjoy. Listening to the opinions of experienced individuals on audio forums like this is helpful but I believe most of us learn best from... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? tweak1:"Paraphrasing your reply, Class D is ruthless on ancillary kit and cables. They should be upgraded before bashing class D."Hello tweak1, Great to hear that you’re benefiting from the detail and clarity of class D technology to significantl... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? atmasphere:"^ The reason we aren't using GaNs yet is we are in a prototype stage. We developed a means of eliminating the need for dead time circuitry in class D amps (for which we have a patent pending).The main reason to use GaNs is to minimize ... | |
| A little Patience sometimes pays off! (Kef LS50 content) yyzsantabarbara, Understood. The Persona 3F look very nice. They're expensive and look it, very stylish in that blue. They should deliver better bass response than the LS50s and seem like a good system match with your Peachtree integrated.... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello atmasphere, Thanks for the update. Very interesting and surprising, too. I’m not surprised you’re building your class D modules by hand but I thought you’d decide to utilize the faster switching GaN FETs in your amp. I would think not using ... | |
| A little Patience sometimes pays off! (Kef LS50 content) yyzsantabarbara, Are you opposed to adding a properly positioned sub in your small office? Even a relatively small sub, if properly positioned in your room to optimize bass performance at your listening seat, can likely provide the improved b... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Correction: I mistakenly stated the older Rowland Model 12 amp is class D in my last post. It is actually a class AB amp.Sorry, Tim |
