AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House


During the last decade i have managed to try in my home 95% of the Class D amps offered to the public these include the so called break thru offerings of the last year or two. While there has been progress the class D signature remained and this included what was lacking in class D amplification.

When i heard about AGD i thought here we go again because i had been there and done that so many times with class D but the GaN tech had me intrigued so i bought a pair of the Audion amps, i thought i would give class D one more go.

I received the amps two days ago and have about twelve hours of listening. From the first minute onwards these amps had my full attention. There is no connection between this class D amp and class D i have heard in the pass no connection what so ever. Forget classes A, A/B, D or whatever this is just an excellent sounding amp, it delivers music that belongs at the upper levels of Hi End audio reproduction.

It`s only been a couple of days of listening but i`m so taken back at the quality of sound i just had to share. I will add more the more i listen, good or bad.

I have had the Audions for over two months and they are the best amps I've used (Berning, Parasound, SMC Audio, Benchmark, Air Tight, Conrad Johnson, etc).  Combine speed, clarity, low noise floor and just a tiny bit of warmth and you have the Audions.  And very practical, being small and light and very efficient.
I own the AGD Vivace and they are the best sounding amps I have ever owned and I have had a lot of amps, not 95, but a lot.
95% of the class D amps over a decade of trying class D amps.

There really was no need for me to find a great sounding class D amp as i have great sounding class A and SET amps it just sort of became a quest as every year new and improved or best you ever heard claims for class D were in the forums or print so curiosity would always get the best of me. 

So after a decade and many thousands of dollars spent the ONLY class D amp that delivers the goods are the AGD amps, class D that compares to my SET and class A amps. I not only found a great class D amp i found a great amp period.
