  ICE Amps for classical music?
I listen to classical orchestral music at heavy volume. I detest reproduced music for always sounding more or less electronic and not acoustic. Real music is beautiful in a way reproduced music--so far at least-- never is. I have become curious about Wyred4sound amps because of low price and high watts. I am wondering if any of you "mostly classical" listeners have heard these amps and feel they do no more damage to music than amps which are NOT ICE amps. I am using a Plinius SA100 now and have used a VAC 100/100,
a Bedini Classic 100/100, a Music Reference RM-9, and other tube and solid state amps. They all had their pluses and minuses, of course, but for least electronic, clearly the Bedini was the winner. So what about ICE amps?

05-02-10: Muralman1
Audiofefeil, Upsampling, perhaps. Oversampling NO. I have proved that here many times to various people to their satisfaction. Class D is nothing like any tube or solid state amp;

Every cable that has gone through here have announced themselves according to their insulation regardless of price. They produce a haze of white noise on a fine Class D system.

These are not a matter of choice for class D owners. They are a matter of realistic sound versus poor hifi, as the Weseixas test with Sony exemplified.

I stand by my words, and your countering does no good to those who choose class D amps.

You are a dealer, your rant exposing motive.
