I’m a bit confused, is this an EPC or EAS class D amp module? Or is EAS just using a standard EPC module for their amp? I was assuming that EAS built a proprietary m... | |
| Tube pre for class d recommendations owentdc, From my experience owning 3 class D amps and those I've heard in others' systems, I believe they all have some common sonic characteristics: very good bass response, low noise floors, good dynamics, are highly detailed from top to bot... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? The EPC eGaN FETs switch 10x faster than silicon MOSFETs and have zero stored charge.

| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Hello tweak1, It seems you've discovered another benefit of class D amps that I don't think has been mentioned thus far in this thread: good examples of class D amps are basically a 'straight wire with gain ', which is numerous experts' def... | |

| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Mapman: " Also I do not hear the issues George claims even at this modest cost."

| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? slimpikins5, I don't think I've degraded to nasty commentary toward georgehifi in my posts.
