GaN FET Amps vs. Traditional Class D Amps
I'm trying to get a better understanding of GaN FET amplifier technology. Whenever I see a write up on GaN FET based amplifiers they are always compared against class A or class A/B amps. What I'm more interested in is how they compare to the current generation of 'traditional' class D designed amplifiers, both technically and sonically. Can anyone explain it to me?
Thank you.
@atmasphere thanks for clarifying. |
you know what - my peachtree gan amp sounds lucious, pristine, weighty, pure, etc - but what it doesn't have - is the ability to be musical and inviting its "I'll settle for this gorgeous sound of my class d amp - but ill sacrifice musicality"
Listen to a more conventional amplifier and tell me its not musical - its a little sloppy - but its not robotic |
My Peachtree Gan 1 is as MUSICAL as any of my class A or class AB amps....It's a tremendous value.....Peachtree has a return policy. Try it. Saying that it's not musical is just not factual. . I feel it's actually MORE musical than my similarly priced Belles Aria which is a highly regarded amp in the $2500 range.You like ROCK.....It would be a perfect amp for you. Everyone has an opinion...... |
The company that created the NCore amplifiers, Hypex, is now a full 5 generations beyond NCore. Their latest circuitry is call Trajectum. This advanced technology is used in Mola Mola amplifiers. The performance of these amplifiers is a significant step forward in sound quality. They have the speed and dynamics one expects, but are also wonderfully 3D, have body and presence, and beautifully smooth high frequencies. They are found in Mola Mola's Kula integrated amps, their Perca stereo amps, and the forthcoming Ossetra mono amps. |
