At a loss... - Page 3

Class D has come a long way in the last few years. Trying to equate today's amps to that old stuff is a lost cause.

Not saying that it is great, but it is definitely better than it was a few years ago.

Maybe some day.........

Class D has come a VERY long way. I own several vintage Sony TA-N88's, end 70's Class D. They are INCOMPARABLE, both technologically and sound quality-wise to the new breed. I had a chance to listen to a pair of Lars Clausen's ZAP modules in sighted testing against a Vincent amp, which as I knew from earlier experiences was pretty good. The Class D module ran rings around it!
Detailed, transparent and very smooth in the mid and treble. Completely opposite of what I expected. I was impressed, I can tell you!
