GaN by GaN Class-D with SMP complete for $940, ready to go just put in a box.





Just so it's known, I’m an in Australia and have no affiliation whatsoever to do with GaN or their retailers, so one here thought.
This thread is purely for those that have the mechanical aptitude and can mount this bundle in a box and have something very special, for less than $1000, and have preamp, source selector, volume control, and DAC!! as well as the GaN amplifier itself all in one box.

Yes Mouser ran out very quick last week, so I pulled the old thread, there are 10 coming in one and a half months, then they say after that, lead time 36 weeks for more stock.

I will not ever post again on any thread that George starts......

Really??? look above at what you just did, you even can’t keep your word to yourself, I wish you did, what chance do others have to believe you.
And then bet the peace love dope card comes out yet again!!


Once again caught out

and the reaction is predictable

My friend David who bought one on these GaN bundles

He said it’s on the way from the US to Aus.
I’ll keep all interested here updated on how he goes, once he’s boxed it and fired it up, on his B&W 800 Diamonds


He seemed keen on these chassis he can get here as they have a volume and input selector knobs ready to go.

Atmasphere will put on anything and screw things around to suit himself that threatens his up coming GaN Class-D that he spruiks about, if it ever comes. Then we'll see what that does on the "independent" test bench.

He fails to point out with this GaN by GaN amp/smp that the many of the measurements were actually outstanding by Amirm, and that only 2 were not up to Amirm’s his standard, and that’s reason for the conclusion. And was because the owners unit was sent to him to measure but was set for very low feedback because the owner like the sound that way, and this was the reason for those 2 average measurements.I’ve PM’d Amirm to see if he can get the board back again for measurements but with the feedback set in normal amount which will then bring those two average measurements up to the rest and will almost certainly change his conclusion. I hope it happens.

That can only be a blessing for me, thank god for that, I hope you stay true to your word.
Anyone that says he can take a look at this pic https://ibb.co/h1F7TGx and then says he sees many mods that can be done to transform it to be even better, can’t be trusted, no matter how much "peace love dope" he preaches while his other hands in your back pocket.

Please can the       trying to denigrate GaN and the people who were behind it some 5years ago when I first started to post about them https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1413463 and then after said they will take over from Mosfet in Class-D just get lost!
And find something else to put      on.

Please George

"Alex Lidow co-inventor of the HEXFET power MOSFET" Big stuff to me.

You get it right



dekay RH67 has tried 95% of the Class D amps offered to the public (per his/her own words).


Like I said, look here for 5 pages and see if your maths can put 2 and 2 together, and what they spell

https://forum.audiogon.com/search/index?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=AGD&username=rh67



This is far better still I say to those here, look at yourself with 5 pages of posts on a particular amplifier company. You really need to cover your tracks or don't make people suspicious, so they search this sort of thing out.
https://forum.audiogon.com/search/index?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=AGD&username=rh67

Really, you must be      , not to do your homework first before that kind of accusation.

It’s a huge American company https://epc-co.com/epc that also inverted the Mosfet transistor all those years ago as well, https://epc-co.com/epc/AboutEPC/Team.aspx
And it’s not floated on the share market, if it were I would have been first to buy shares in it
And I’m a lowly ex pro surfer from Manly Australia, who’s other love from 11 is electronics and audio.
So work that out, before opening your mouth and letting that kind of      flow out.!!!
rather than sound quality.
Think real hard, who said this?? you or the opposition to it here!!!

Members here are hopefully people that think, and can make up their own minds, seeing they have to make it.

Once it’s in a nice $100 chassis from ebay,
eg: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273637317398?hash=item3fb60e1b16:g:W04AAOSw-ZlcLYch
It’s a GaN amp with preamp, input selector, digital and analog, and has it’s own dac and is laptop configurable with Audio Canvas III.

Even if it’s not top shelf Class-D (which I doubt) in sound you’ll "at least" get your money back to sell it, unlike selling anything commercial you bought new and then try to sell used’ that’s nearly always close to halved.

If you knew the design tech cred David has who purchased one, if he’s getting it, then there’s somethings special about it.
I’d rather hear what he has to say than most of the shills here shilling from themselves or their friends companies.

Cheers George

Will do, my friend David hi-end tech here for most of the hiend stores in Sydney was very excited he could get one after Mouser ran out.
I’ll hear it on his B&W 800 D4’s, he’ll have it up and running a day after he gets it from the US, not hard to mount in a box.
My own made Hypex NC500 mono’s with massive linear power supplies 83v - + rails, sound good on his D4’s and are 400w @ 8ohm, more than twice the wattage, so the GaN will be up against it, my belief is it will sound better to a certain volume, as it’s wattage hamstrung, compared to the NC500 powerhouses.
