No Rogue Pharaoh owners?
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
I am certainly biased by my lifetime final amp being a Class D. But I know that after 30+ years of development, Class D seems to be on a high plain. I know there are now many, many companies focusing on Class D and, maybe, a good handful already as good as it gets. My Class D amp is as smooth and beautifully musical as a great tube amp and as punchy and detailed as a great SS amp. I am satisfied and done with my search. A class D amp has effectively taken me off the amp merry-go-round. It’s about time after 50 years. And, for me, this Class D is a milestone. Will all other classes of amps fade away?

Go the far better integrated the SU-R1000, it’s said it also uses the far higher switching speed of 1.5mhz like the flagship SE-R1, which cuts down greatly the switching noise intruding down into the audio band. (class-D’s achillies heel) And Technics is the only one I know of that has exploited this GaN technology feature so far. https://www.stereophile.com/content/technics-presents-discussion-their-reference-class-su-r1000-digi...

All noise, when a subject is attacked for being snake oil, voodoo or whatever, that is fair game and keeps the shillers down.Now georgie, since when is a discussion on Class D a snake oil or voodoo themed topic? You’re all over the place. Haphazard. You're the one who brought up the topic of fuses. But you then retaliate by attacking the poster or in the last case their dog personally.What you need to learn is the ability to recognize snark (humor) when it’s deployed as a means to combat your strangeness. And that’s where the difference is, and why you get deleted more than anyone on Audiogon.🤦♂️Far from it, sunshine. 😄 All the best, Nonoise |
