Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: I was thinking about buying this one...

I was looking at that too and I can only assume that the designers (who have been doing Class D amps for a very long time) know what constitutes a decent switching power supply for their amps.

Of course the old school crowd will insist on fat and heavy toroidal transformers and massive capacitors to handle the 60-Hz line frequency in those ancient linear power supply designs that our grandfathers mastered decades ago. They're easier to design and very simple to understand so that's what most folks will gravitate to. Linear power supplies are about the simplest circuits to understand often taught in H.S. Electronics shop class with a little more in depth teaching in college.

If noise is a concern to these old timers they might not know that one of THE quietest amps and quietest preamps on the planet both use switching power supplies.... and many audio reviewers use these amps and preamps in their reference systems. Ask Kal and others ;-)
