FWIW: My experience with class D goes back to PS audio GCC 250, which I still use in my video system, but in my 2 channel audio Ive had several W4S, Emerald Physics 100.2SEs, Audio Alchemy DPA-1 (excellent sound but I need a lot power in my room), PSA M700s (also sounded nice), EVS 1200 which I raved about for a year UNTIL it was replaced with a LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp, which is roughly half the power, but twice as room filling/coupling in my large room. From this experience IMO, GaN is so superior (at least when done right) to conventional class D that it SHOULD have a separate designation. Switching Speed is the juice
Are you pairing Tube Preamp/Line Stage with Class D Power Amp?
If yes, what have you liked? I'm curious about other Class D amps now that I found one I like. I have a Marantz Ruby integrated. I put it in Power Amp mode and plopped a wonderful Doge Audio Clarity Preamp in front of it.
The tube pre really opened up the soundstage further--great combo.
I'm wondering about moving the Ruby to a second system and finding a different Class D or SS amp.
PS There was a similar thread from 2019 but it only registered a handful of responses. Maybe more folks have come around to Class D and have played with putting tubes in front of one.
