Class D Amplification Announcement


After 60 some odd years of disappointment, Class D has finally arrived. As per The Absolute Sound’s Jonathan Valin, the Borrenson-designed Aavik P-580 amp “is the first Class D amplifier I can recommend without the usual reservations. …the P-580 does not have the usual digital-like upper-mid/lower-treble glare or brick wall-like top-octave cut-off that Class D amps of the past have evinced.”

Past designers of Class D and audiophiles, rejoice; Michael Borrenson has finally realized the potential of Class D.

Pontifs going to pontificate.  Can we assume he has thoroughly tested all the offerings from Atmasphere, AGD, Merrill, etc. etc.?

You can assume that he has.  The journalistic integrity of TAS is unquestionable.  Furthermore, I have never heard of Mr Valin being proven wrong.  His hearing and experience are so accurate that they are virtually objective.

I’m sure it’s a wonderful amplifier. I’m going to stay with Vfet and class A until I die. Enjoy the journey!
