Class T vs. Class D Digital Amps


Hi folks. I'd love to hear some people weigh in with a layman's description/comparison of these two technologies. I'm particularly interested in how Channel Island's Class D amps might compare to Audio Research's Class T gear.

How do these technologies compare? How does the use of these technologies alter other aspects of amplifier design like power supplies, transformers, etc.? What are some limitations to using this technology for amplification? Other than efficiency and cool operating temps, what are some other benefits here? Anyone think this is the wrong direction to be going?

I have Flying Mole class D amps and really like the sound of them combined with my Zu Druids. I have done a few mods to them, which improved the sound, but I think they sound pretty good stock as well. I have a Supratek Chenin preamp on order to give more emotion to the music, and allow me to play my LPs again, but the sound as-is is very clear and crisp, with a black background and kick-ass bass.
