Good news about Class D as I no longer have to suffer through endless sessions thinking my Pass XA-25 sounds so good while getting hot and all Class A...I can just get rid of what I thought were beautiful tubes and amps (including guitar amps) and just relax into some D. I already have a Class D bass amp so I'm on my way!
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.

@urbie Aren't you forgetting that there are thousands on here dumb enough to pay up to $30,000 for a real piece of wire, namely a power cord when an upgraded stock item cannot cost more than $25. |

Class D arrived a while ago and at lower cost. I have a pair of Jeff Rowland Model 125s, a pair of AGD Audion monoblocks and a new Orchard Audio Starkrimson Ultra. All of them sound great. No glare, with plenty of power and headroom. Other than one Class AB integrated I still own, I have sold my class AB solid state monoblocks. |
