No worries, no bait sent.  Just tryin’ to help out anyone out there considering class d, well, dont.  
Those in the “know” probably know the exact sweet spot of certain class d modules or whatever paired with this wicked tube pre to obtain a good class d setup but I haven’t heard it.  Im open to habe a changed mind but peachtree, w4s and ps audio havent swayed me from class a/b.  

Im just starting to wonder if this is how tube guys feel about a/b
Wait, I know that someone out there had, or knew someone who once had, a class d amp that didn’t suck the entire life out of the room... that my friend was the exception.

ok, carry on again
Thank you Arafiq, thats what Im talking about!

@jtcf, not bored, hangin with my friends (be careful, you may fall into that category, lol)

Im pissed.  It was5 hours of driving and too much finagling for me to learn this.

Peachtree Nova Pre/ 220, Peachtree Nova 220se were pretty decent.  PS Audio GCC 250 and W4S STI 500 (with all upgrades) were the 2 dullest, driest most boring amps I’ve ever listened to.  There, I said it, I feel better!
I started this thread late one night after a few crowns... totally forgot about it.

I’ve since moved from a gorgeous sounding Belles Aria Integrated to an older Raven Blackhawk.  I was concerned about moving from the Belles to another class A/B because I felt like I’d gain power but lose quality and I wasn’t about that.

Well the move to the Raven did it for me.  If possible, I may never return to solid state aftrr hearing a good tube amp with some pretty decent tubes.

Rolling tubes is sooo fun and tube amps with their warm up / not leaving them on all the time, makes listening more of an intentional, ritualistic experience.

I think Im getting a turntable very soon.
