Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I found some interesting You Tube videos of the new ADG Vivace GaN mono blocks:1. A pair of the new ADG Vivace GaN monos driving the mids/treble of a biamped speaker with the bass driven by an older pair of Rowland Model 12 class D monos compared... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
kgturner,     I don't know what the general opinion of those following this thread is but my opinion is that these mono blocks are excellent amps.     Kharma, mainly a hi-end speaker and cable seller at the time, introduced their first  class D am... 
Opinions about upgrade
Hello and welcome spitzer45,     First, your Hegel h160 is a very good integrated amp that I'd think are a good match with the Proac D18s.  It may be a good match but I also understand the urge to upgrade or just be curious about what other speake... 
How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks
  ketchup,      I know you can purchase completed kit amps that contain two HypexNC400 class D modules in each mono block from James Romeyn Music andAudio, LLC in Utah.  I believe his dual mono versions cost about $3K/pair and are powered by the ... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
     I agree the glass tube containing the GaN module is a bit goofy.     But I think something like this on a class D amp, a convenient location where some type of plug-in is inserted to change the amp's sound characteristics using a variety of p...

Hi ghulamr,     You already have a very good system with high quality speakers that can reproduce very deep bass well.  Can you tell me exactly what qualities you'd like to improve on the bass of your system?     I just read a very good review on ...

Duke Lejeun:" Thank you very much Tim. I find your posts quite educational, as I think you have more real-world experience than I do, and you have paid very close attention to your experiences. And you write very well! "Hi Duke,     Thanks for t...

Duke/Audio Kinesis,     Thank you for your unexpected but very informative and interesting contributions to this thread.     I think many have the somewhat mistaken belief that attaining good in-room bass response is simply a matter of using 1 or ...

Hi guhlamr,     I also have an Oppo BDP-105 in my system. Excellent and versatile machine that has exceptional audio performance.       I also use a 2TB external hard drive that contains ripped copies of all my cds and some other hi-res 24/bit/96K... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
     I think of ClassDAudio as the bargain center for class D amps.  This is the place to go if you want high quality class D sound for the least amount of money.      About 4-5 yrs ago, there was a lot of buzz about how good class D amps were get...

guhlamr, I forgot to mention, I wasn’t aware your amp had both XLR and rca L+R inputs. This is a good thing since I think you should be able to keep the L+R outputs of your DAC connected to the L+R inputs on your amp via XLR cables. Now I just ne...

" but I really hope I am going about this incorrectly and there is a better/cleaner way to connect both HT and dedicated listening for Swarm system since you can only connect LFE or the RCA line in but not both at the same time. LFE uses the pre-p...

" Can you help shed some light on how you best play 2 channel music with the Swarm system? I understand playing HT you can connect to the processor LFE - but how to best play 2 channel? Currently I play my 2 channel using the Benchmark DAC as pre... 
GO PATS!
     I actually fell asleep during Sunday's Super Bowl.  I had a dream the Pats were playing the '85 Bears instead of the Rams.      Wilbur Marshall came charging up the middle on a blitz and literally snapped Brady in half.  It was spectacular wi...

millercarbon,     Just callin' em like I see'em.  I'm just enlightening guhlamr to some pertinent truths.  It's his money, system and choice.  Besides, I'm almost certain he'll be happier with multiple 12" subs than a single 15" sub.      Everybod...
