Best Sounding Class D? - What Hi-Fi? Forum
2022年2月12日 · To create a shortlist, then maybe use a google search of reviews, and audition at a hifi dealer, unless others on here have experience of commercial class D amplifiers for the shortlist. Nord are a good implementer of the Hypex and Purifi class D modules, but they do not provide a loan scheme before purchase.
High end Class D amps? - Audiogon Discussion Forum
2020年11月22日 · Class D for Bass is the Best. For Upper Bass/Midrange/Treble. I run Orchard Audio STARKRIMSON Amplifers for those sections and an ICE Power AS-1000 Class D Amp for the Bass Drivers (one inside each KEF 105/3 cabinet).

2023年7月21日 · I should also say that I am looking for very high performing GaN amplifiers to perform against some of the best / most high-end units out there, like the T+A A 3000 HV amplifier (which I own along with the T+A PS 3000 HV power supply), Audionet amps as @pennfootball71 mentions, or other Class D leaders like Aavik or Bel Canto Black.

2018年8月23日 · But last year or so Stereophile have introduced a special filter (Audio Precision’s AUX-0025 passive low-pass filter) that goes between the the Class-D amp and the test measuring equipment that gets rid of the buzz saw, just for Class-D tests purposes, they always say they use it somewhere slightly hidden in the bench test reports.

2020年7月8日 · You want the amp to have 60kohm or higher input impedance to work well with tube preamps which tend to have significantly higher output impedance. I do that with AUdio Research pre to Bel Canto Class D amp. Just a touch of warmth with this combo. Also have a similar Bel Canto c5i all digital class d integrated amp. More neutral, not warm at all.
Class D power amplifiers - Audioholics Home Theater Forums
2021年12月19日 · Last time I shopped for the most transparent speakers I could find in the below $10,000 range I found them in a store in Toronto that powered the speakers with, surprisingly, class D amplifiers. In the end I bought the speakers without requesting them to try driving the speakers with my kind of trusted class AB amplifiers.

2022年6月15日 · Besides the tube integrateds I have, I have now amassed a bench of Class D amps I am happy with. These include the AGD Audion monoblocks, and a pair of Jeff Rowland Model 125 amps that I run in bridged mode. Both are great. I am particularly impressed with the soundstage with the AGD Audions. IMO, Class D has arrived.
Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best
2009年7月19日 · Totally agree; Class A alone doesn't necessarily make it the best choice. An amplifier's performance is largely dependent on the speaker it's paired with. In your case the ARC matched the speaker and your ears better. I'd venture an opinion there are speakers that might sound better to you with the Alephs. In fact, I'd bet on it.

2024年3月4日 · These are not cheap Class D products. They are well designed and constructed. Orchard Audio's base model is around $2700and their Dual mono version with larger power supplies is $5500. Both AGD and Atoms-Phere are $5000. Mono blocks for each are about twice the cost. Has anyone had any experience, demos, etc ., with these types of GaN Class D amps?
