My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today


I ordered the amp from Warren with the Purifi module and the Sparkos ss3602 op amp, the latter chosen for its somewhat more relaxed sonic presentation compared to the other op amps that VTV offers.  Right out of the box, it strikes me as quite musical, without any noticeable harshness, although few inner details of the music are so far revealed.  It is dead quiet, as expected.  So with my initial favorable impressions, I will report back after it has 100 hours of run-in to comment on its SQ.

I am taking delivery of 2 D class amplifiers this coming week.

Because they are so inexpensive I bought the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 balanced amplifier and the Bel Canto REF501S (latest versio) I will see how these match my Audio Hungary Qualiton X200 Tube Integrated. Will be interesting. Had an NAD M10 Was not thrilled with it.

 

 

@jerryg123 That Audio Hungary amp sounds and looks great.  I look forward to your impressions of the others in comparison.

I just ordered a VTV Hypex ncore NC502 stereo amp yesterday, I am very curious as to how well their small enclosure will dissipate the heat from 2 500 watt amplifiers running at moderate levels...and then how it handles levels approaching live with 88db sensitivity speakers. I expect that case is going to get too hot to touch for more than a fraction of a second. I can only imagine what two NC502s running in bridged mode so the case has to dissipate the heat from 2 1200 watt amplifiers is going to feel like. I have a strong sense that combination will be thermally limited. If anyone has any direct experience with these two combinations, I'd like very much to hear about it.

Update on previous post...the VTV amp arrived yesterday late so I didnt get it hooked up till today. If it holds up long term I will not regret the purchase...it sounds wonderful! I had it turned up so I was getting peaks of 105 db at about 6-8 feet away from the speakers and after about 15 minutes the case was only perceptibly very slightly above ambient. Heat management is not going to be an issue at all, and I suspect the 1000 watt stereo version is going to be perfectly acceptable. I am in audio Nirvana. :)
