RE: arg, not again.


"Please put to rest the idea that there aren't "artifacts" and difficulties and problems with traditional transistor analog amplifiers as well. "

Of course, but these "artifacts" manifest themselves in broken analog Class A/AB transistor amps, not those that are functioning properly. I have yet to hear any Class A/AB amp interfere with AM/FM/TV reception which is not uncommon in Class D designs. The heart of Class D designs require noisy switching signals that do not exist in Class A/AB amps.

The Hypex nCore NC400 based monoblocks I had on loan were not that great IMHO. I thought the Bel Canto S300 was awful. On the other hand, the W4S SX-500 amps were much better sounding to my ears. A couple NuForce monoblocks that I had were the best sounding but those produced more RFI than the others. Yes, RFI that basically shutdown my ability to listen to FM broadcasts and blocked a handful of TV channels.

Place a transistor radio near a Class D amp and let me know what you hear. Do the same thing with a traditional Class A/AB amp.
