Switched to Class D or get left behind?

Made up or not you still misspelled it. You failed. If I'm wrong in any place you have to explain. Whatever you say he didn't make some cheap chip and then charge a high price for it. There's still much more that goes int an amp that makes it perform well and those additional parts cost, even as I showed you this applies to Class D as well. Bruno's amps are some of the more expensive around.

Yes and some are quite CHEAP. Tear into the fact they started quite cheap.............so long for now.

And you seem to accept that the writing is on the wall for hugely costly stuff that only a few buy - and they do that primarily to satisfy their own vanity rather than to seek best sound quality.

Read the post by Mike today on the industry as a whole. It seems high end audio has risen year over year and has no end in sight. Us forum members may think we are in the know. My assumption is Gryphon, MSB, Magico etc are aware the growth curve and profiting off it. I haven't seen any news indicating the rich are running out of money. Far from it. Growth is robust. More middle class when up than down. Worldwide there is a vast market of people that pull cash from their front pocket and buy a $200,000 amp like we buy coffee. High end isn't going anywhere.

I want all-end audio to grown. The more people come into this hobby, the more it grows, the more we all benefit from it.

I do think there is class-warfare in this hobby more than in other hobbies that makes us our own biggest enemies.

Take cameras for instance - there is certainly brand tribal warfare, but not price-point warfare like in hifi.

I wouldn't even have heard of you if you weren't here on the site.

Ditto. Plenty have heard of me/my handiwork at shows, in their living rooms etc. for well over a decade. I'm out in the real world outside your tiny bubble, demoing sound way beyond JBL/ML ;-).

You can't even debate you have to write things I didn't even say. Your comprehension can't be much.

Your own words are your undoing. We get it, the Caltech study shows whats going on only in your mind, not the real world. Your entire argument/evidence to support claims are "I said so".

Bruno Putzeys worked at Philips, where he became deeply involved in Class D amplifier design.
He later joined Hypex Electronics, where he developed the highly regarded UcD and later NCore amplifier technologies. NCore became one of the benchmarks for high-performance Class D
There's still much more that goes int an amp that makes it perform well and those additional parts cost, even as I showed you this applies to Class D as well. Bruno's amps are some of the more expensive around.

Comical use of AI when actual knowledge is void. UcD and NCore stereo amps can be had for less than $1k. Coming from the same guy who said

Also, it's stupid to take a $25k speaker and connect it to $5k of electronics and say you've heard the best that speaker can do. For the record your components should about equal in ability throughout the chain.
