In Reply to: RE: They are nice because they are small, but they won't be giant killers by any means. posted by SgreenP@MSN.com on January 1, 2018 at 20:10:51:
actually, what i said, what everyone else took literally, was REALLY
"anyone know of any overachieving CHEAP class D amps that won't be embarrassed by $1,000ish class A?B that are worthy as temporary stepping stones until i get my miniphilharmonitors and gustard DAC and get an idea of what the system needs in terms or clinical/lush balance to finalize my amplification down the road?"
i was using a bit of hyperbole.
ith that in mind, i DO consider class D to actually BE a giant killing tech as i'm an acoustic suspension & cowbell lover who demands low level resolution for percussion which class D does do better than class A/B at a given price point and then some ($500 TBI millenia is considered true high end by many) with hypex N cores being the TRUE "take all comers" giant killers from all the reviews i've read in an N core tour thread at headfi, a mola mola review, and a review for some other N core based big buck amp.
taking the DIY route, one can essentially get a $10,000 N core amp for around $1,500 in parts.
i don't expect ANY $40 amp to play at that level, but 80-90% of it isn't shabby for a temporary starter system AND i've loved all 3 class D amps i've owned for their detail "unveiling" and grip on bass & treble. i expect to get AT LEAST sonic impact level sound out of one and a lot of people WERE liking their T-amps more than their jolidas etc back in the day.
apparently everyone here missed that memo.
