Purifi Class D: Junk?
Miller,I do not understand what you are saying to me. I am the one saying everything makes a difference and I have been doing listening tests for over 40 years. I do know what I am saying because I EXPERIENCED it, just like you did. Maybe you are ... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
I am sure that changing a part here and there could change a measurement. However, this us not the usual case. You can take 10 different brands of normal metal film resistors and they will all measure the same.....and all sound different (I have d... 
High end Class D amps?
Thank you for sharing your experience. And thank you for realizing that you are just guessing. You actually have no idea.....that your theory about damping factor and class D has any meaning. You would have to get every class A amp that exists and... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
Most high end companies choose parts and execution by ear after they have done the measurement game.  This is because they know that a ton of stuff that changes the sound cannot be measured.  Here is a list of companies that do this.....George wou... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
It is best just to ignore George. He goes on and on saying the same nonsense about stuff he has never listened to. Let him have the last word or it will go on forever......go on George, you know you have to.Maybe we should use a new word for peopl...

You buy the bottom of the line VTV amp and you think you will know anything about class D or Purifi?  This amp is $979 delivered including shipping.  It uses a one dollar op amp for the input buffer (LM4562) and two one dollar 3 pin regulators....... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
That is your opinion based on your experience......this is great.....I respect that. However, read the reviews of the Technics, AGD, Merrill and LKV class D amps.....those reviewers are NOT saying what you are. They think these very latest (and ex...

You are making people wrong by telling the world that they are gullible. Why would you put someone down for their EXPERIENCE? I may not agree with what everyone says but I practically never doubt what they say about what they hear. They could of h... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
Yes, I believe in fuses........as in BE and LIVE together.  A belief without an experience is like reading a novel and thinking you know about love.  Words are not an experience.  To KNOW anything in audio.....you have to listen....and with an ope... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
No doubt, to those that do not listen.  Those that listen with an open mind....they actually experience something......so they really KNOW.  Most high end audio is the blind (or deaf....he he) leading the blind.  What I mean by this is practically... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
There is nothing as simple as you state.  I can make the amp you have jump at you like lightning.  Even the AC filter on the VTV is limiting the current and transparency.  It is only rated at 10amps.....the fuse in the power supply is 12 amps........ 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
No, you are reading the spec of the amp without a buffer. The stock Hypex generic buffer board that is sold by VTV has 47K to ground on each phase. This is in the buffer added mode. If you configure the board so the buffer is not in the circuit......

I brought my first proto of the mono IceEdge amps over to a guys house last year and we A/Bed it with his mono IceEdge amps from Mivera Audio. When we were listening to his amp the sound of the bass was rather "tubey" and I told him so. He said he... 
High end Class D amps?
Take your Ncore amp and put a .1 ohm non inductive power resistor on the inside of the amp right at the binding post (in series with the post).  Now the output impedance of the amp is at least .1 ohm.......so, listen to it again.  Does it sound ex... 
High end Class D amps?
Actually, you do not want any conductive material at all for a transformer bolt.  Even a brass or non magnetic stainless steel bolt will degrade the sound compared to no bolt or plastic bolt.  You want nothing conductive above, below or in the mid...
