Default how good are class D amplifiers?

Now, forget all that (it'll come, one day) tell me if you have had any
'hands on' with the Technics 3000 series SS pre/power combo?

It is reputed to have some of the lowest noise and distortion figures on
record (Martin Colloms) yet, last night when I was listening to a
particularly fine 1958 recording of Grieg's Concerto in A minor
(Solomon), I switched from the Technics on the TLS80s to my 2A3 SET on
the Fidelios and got a much better, more *exciting* (more listenable)
sound.


Of course it did as it was full of lovely ear pleasing second harmonic
distortion. Psycho-acoustics in action.
