In Reply to: RE: What about their newer Class D amps? posted by AbeCollins on August 15, 2014 at 13:41:48
Hi Abe,
Your Ampzilla 2000 Mk2 will smoke any class D. I own a Son of Ampzilla 2000 and like it very much.
I owned an ARC D240 MK2, and had a friend that had the 100.2 and D300 from the 90's. All were very nice, but not as good as my Son of Ampzilla 2000.
I do not feel the newer ARC class D hold up to those older ARC amps. I don't understand why ARC went to Class D. The local twin Cities ARC dealer told me the new class D amps do not sell as well as the older ARC analog SS did.

I wish they'd go back to making the 100.2.
I think standards in Europe may require class d or similarly efficient designs in the future. Gotta save the planet, don't cha know.

This sealed the fate on some chrome plating and special purpose PCB boards:(.
Yes, the EU is making it harder to sell non RoHS compliant electronics their. European hifi manufacturers have been slowly adopting their products to reflect these new requirements. You see a change in anything from faceplates and knobs, PCB boards, and the amplification means. It WILL affect any US made product sold in Europe, a major market for US made hifi electronics as the US manufacturer must also meet the new EU norm if they are sold in Europe. This is especially true for tube and SS amps with large transformer cores. The material must be RoHS compliant.
