  Putzy amplfiers or class D in general , at least the ones i have heard sound far from dead , as a matter of fact with an unheard use of large amounts of negative feedback dead is not how i would describe class-D sound. IMO, they have issues with timbre , instrument size ,finesse and lack a proper soundscape for the illusion of realism.
  
  Dead they are not , good class-D have good jump , better than a lot of class a/ab amplifiers but they bring other issues that may or maynot be offensive to those using them .
  
  The big advantage of Class-D IMO, is the access to high affordable power , this usually eliminates clipping , making music sound more dynamic to those living with clipping for years via under powered Amplfiers ..

    I don't agree about ncore sound. It has an unnatural sheen to the sound...a lot less like delta/sigma digital. True, it is not as dead sounding as high feedback Class AB but when a 30 watt tube amp can out dynamic it on normal (90db) speakers then I would not consider it terribly dynamic. Power is not to be a good indicator for this "Flattening" of the dynamic envelope.
