This thread is a deviation from the following thread:

I read the Devid Berning patent and I do not really get it. Yes, it does not use output transformer but it is not look like it is direct coupled amp.  (BTW, I do not say that a direct coupling is good at all as I feel that direct coupling screws up LF)

It looks like Berning approach uses is a pulse generators that cares the signal form plate. Is it the more elegant way then to have the simple transformer code between? How about filtering of the HF noise that usually generated by the switching amps?

I never heard the Berning amps. In our time there are many people who say that the D-class amps are great. I do not take those people seriously. Are the Devid Berning approach is basically the same and uses  D-class amps for impedance conversion?
