hi marco/ian,Originally Posted by Marco
I would have to agree.
Anthony, having listened to Ian's Berning at length yesterday in my system and comparing it to the Copper amp, it sounds like no MOSFET driven output stage I've ever heard; indeed it sounds every bit as much of a genuine valve amp as the Copper amp does
I've got to say that the Berning is VERY, VERY good, and I don't give such compliments lightly. I could easily live with it myself.
I'll be intrigued to know what you think when you come up
Marco.
you dont have to convince me, i trust both your findings, i was just giving my view on the circuit, my intentions were all good !!!
as for class D amps, done well they can be very very good too!

MosFets aren't the be all and end all either though, are they? Fine into higher impedance loads, I understand they don't much care for lower impedances below, say, 6 Ohms. That was my understanding. Interesting that Glenn Croft now uses a valve driver stage feeding MosFets on the output. From what I gather, it's a great compromise and doesn't cost a bomb either for impoverished fools like me who cannot afford many thousands of quid for beautiful all valve concoctions like Marco owns.......
