Class D is just Dandy!

I'll second tsugury's recommendation of the Rogue Sphinx.  I've had one in my system for a couple of years now and continue to be impressed with its performance, especially considering its very modest cost.  I hesitated considering this amp, as I've previously found Class D amps to be somewhat sterile sounding and fatiguing over time.  Not Rogue amps.  I believe that this can be attributed somewhat to modern Class D modules, but also to Rogue's tube preamp section and their use of a beefy linear power supply.  Quite musical and dynamic!

Tim,
    Thanks for your thoughts on my post.  Your observations on switch-mode vs linear power supplies were especially interesting.  I know that, historically, switch-mode supplies were often prone to generating high frequency noise.  With that knowledge in the back of my mind, I always attributed at least some of the fatiguing sound of earlier Class D amps to that aspect of the design.  Call it a hunch.  :)  Perhaps more recent designs have resolved this issue.  It would be enlightening to hear the same amp with both types of power supplies, but that obviously is not logistically very easy.  I think I'll be connecting with the very pleasant & helpful folks at Rogue to ask them if they had ever used a switch-mode power supply in the Sphinx (or its bigger brother, the Pharaoh) during the design process and why they ended up with a linear supply... 
     As far as the tube preamp section goes, I think that its positive affect on the overall sound is pretty much indisputable.  I also have tube rolled with my Sphinx and it has significantly changed the character of the sound.  The JJ 12AU7 stock tubes supplied by Rogue were more than adequate.  However, I finally ended up with a pair of Psvane tubes.  They provide quite a bit more "air", as well as much more holographic "fleshed out" images.  Gotta love it.
