LEDs ruin the sound, anyways.

Yeah. That ^Idle is when the device is fully on and ready to play.
Standby is when you turn the device off with the remote or it turns off automatically after a while. Usually, a red LED Turns on to signify this.
Off is when you flip the power switch on the back of the unit, or plug out the mains cable entirely.
Class D "efficiency" is utter and complete bullsh#t.
Have we considered that all that switching wears out the electrons?
I don't get it. Can you maybe explain it using a car analogy?Idle is when the device is fully on and ready to play.

Idle=idleI don't get it. Can you maybe explain it using a car analogy?
Now do a plane!Idle=idle
Standby=you're at a traffic light and start/stop has stopped your engine
Off=all systems are off and you've taken out the key
Now you've got me sweating. Do planes have start/stop?Now do a plane!
They have internal combustion engines at the tail called auxiallary engine that powers the hydrolics, aircon and other stuff when the turbofans are not running. That is idling isn't it.Now you've got me sweating. Do planes have start/stop?
Idle = Gliding followed by Crashing.Now do a plane!
Unless you're in a Gimli GliderIdle = Gliding followed by Crashing.
Now do a plane!
…and no input signal is present.Idle is when the device is fully on and ready to play.

John appears to be casting himself in the role of Jason and the dragons' teeth - he throws out the comment, then stands back to watch...I don't think there is any point in the % power graph where AB does better than D including 0%, is there? John would know better frankly, which makes me think that this thread is some sort of a social experiment to see how people will react to an assertion that Class D is bad?
Cost over $20,000!Now here is what John would call a real man's amp. Rated 125 W into 8 ohms (and weighs 101 lbs). Idle power consumption 230 W per channel (it is a mono amp).
