A could years ago here and there begun to pop up small SS class “D” amplifiers made with high-end pretence. They all sounded like shit but by the efforts of a number of typically deaf and stupid or just simply whorish audio propagandists-cheerleaders the small class “D” made some notch in the minds of the media reading Audio Morons.
This year the industry attacked the class “D” with a wide front. I was looking at all this BS laughably but recently, when I got the last TAS, that dedicated an entire issue to persuade the audio hoodlums that class “D” is a new audio messiah, I decided to address the subject.

What is important to note that I have nothing against class “D” amplifiers or any reasons to judges the class “D” concepts or implementations. So, without judging the class “D” amps I would like to point my attention to the synthetic hipe that the audio industry fraudulently create about class “D” amps.

It is very understandable why the industry fully embrace the class “D” amplifiers: they small (means that are highly shippable), they cheap (means the dealers could sell more “new models” to consumers) and they open a new avenue for pumping the readers with a new BS. It is know that the majority audio people have no ears, no listening inelegance and mostly no brain that operates in audio. Instead they like parrots repeat the BS that they read in audio publication… To the industry open a full throttle to make the next audio Joe-Shmo to “like” the new class “D” toy.

OK, let forget for a second that the class “D” amps do not sound well. let look at the credentials and the objectives.

Over the course of the years, I mean year years and years… any single SS amp that the industry proposed as “revolutionary messiahs” and the “best they ever heard” turned out to be unspeakable and revolting crap. I’m not just generalizing but I did listen all of them: the more nose the idiot-reviewers created the more revolting the amplifier in fact sounded. Call it a pattern or call it the rule, whatever you wish, but it was and it is the unavoidable fact: the industry has no proven credit and no ability to decimate results and present any more or less meaningful observations.

Then the objectives. What is the purpose to have a brick-size amplifier that does 250W? Sure if the industry loves the speakers with 80dB sensitively and the drivers that have offensive flux modulation compression then they industry would “love” the cheap and powerful “compressed” amps. It is irony that the very same morons who drooling salvia about the worst the audio industry offer in the loudspeaker world: Kharma, Magico Mini, the very same people readily embrace the “class D revolution”. I is not about the bad speaker or bad amplifiers - it is about the different type of sound…. the sound of the whore-reviewers who submerged into primitivism and con in their infinite desire to impress subscribers by their loud noise of the faked audio orgasms…

I would not even mention that huge amount of very funny mistakes that that marketing cretins spread in their “observations”. They said that class “D” does not need multiple paralleled transistors in output stage. However, being the  “carefully listeners” they admit that class “D” is sensitive to the load impedance… Holly Cow! This type of literature requires a lot of fantasy!  I’m capable to make 3 misspelling in one sentence. In contrary, the industry cheerleaders, overly impressed with their desire to butter up customers about the class “D” amps, are capable to make 3 declarations of idiocy in one sentence…

In the end, is high end all about better sound or about the better products? We have class “A” operating 30W-40W single ended SS amplifiers. They are smalls and run relatively cool. What else we need for those amps besides better speakers? So, instead of demanding form the manufacturers better high sensitivity speakers the idiotic industry embraces the Granite-sounding speakers and “help” the consumers with 250W class “D” amplifiers the they promise “your women would be able to hide in their purses”. Good grief! I hope you undesired when I propose to “slaughter” the audio revisers then I am not kidding…They really worth it…

It is irelevant what is published as Power RAting? In other words, it does not matter, if this site is about "advancement of audio tehcnologies".

Romy, I have many amps, and brick size sounds veryy very good!. Better than tube perhaps, to me?

Specs suck. I agree. So I dispense with them, let my ears decide.

Why?

I am powering my horns with class d, not a particular problem I have, actually.

Please ask, for more info. All problems are easily correctable, and will deliver superior sound to more listeners. I am a fan.
