Class D = Trash?

Class D = Trash?
I don't think there is a specified time for Class D to break-in. If there is and it would vary from one manufacturer to another should be mentioned in the manual. What we do know is that the longer they are powered up, the better they sound. The m... 
Class D = Trash?
The best Class D I have heard does use an analog power supply (a large Toroidal trans with banks of power supply caps). In addition, if bass is of the utmost importance then an oversize analog power supply is a must. Don't get me wrong there are s... 
The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ?

tomcy6, I'm not spreading any legend but this was a statement from Paul Mcgowan,and it is quite possible that he knows more than you..

Good point but can someone explain what accounts for distortion in the treble region on some systems? 
Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition?
When you narrow your search down to a couple of amps it would be great if you could afford to do a side by side comparison of these amps in your system. I find it difficult to try one amp at a time and then move on to another and then go by memory... 
Is it too bright or is it high resolution?
