High end Class D amps?
After probably at least a year of driving my EVS 1200 direct from my LPM moded Oppo 105, and having upgraded all cables and speakers I decided to reinsert my Audio Alchemy DDP- 1 + PS 5. It took a solid 24 hours to relax, and certainly sounds bett... 
High end Class D amps?
Ralph, if GFi is right, that you are close to releasing your class D, I volunteer to compare/comment on it vs my much beloved EVS 1200, dual mono IcePower AS 1200 modules with lots of Rics pixie dust. My speakers are EP 3.4s 12' concentric driver ...
