do the Bel Canto still use ICEpower modules? i dont know much about class D but would like to know the difference between ICEpower, NCORE and Eigentakt.
These are exciting times, and I think that the key mindset is to be open to the future, not mired in the past.
If I can get my sonic yayas from these slivers of technology that weigh only 10-20 pounds, and use 80-90% less power while not heating up my room, then I salute all the engineers who have made this possible!
I always wanted to say that Class D didn't sound as good, but really it just sounds more accurate and colors everything much less. So when I thought it didn't sound as good I was actually hearing the problems in recordings and mixes.
Yeah, this is a good explanation of Class D sound. It's exceedingly accurate and some audiophiles think it's too accurate. We rarely equate live music with being "accurate." Far from it. I'm not condemning Class D, just point out preferences. I have an audiophile buddy who once said to me, "I like my music with a little bit of mud in it." I had a Purifi amp and I loved it, but then I traded it out for a good tube amp and it was game over.
