My Technics SU-G700 M2 uses GaNFET output devices and sounds heavenly for it. So, no, solid state is not yet a mature technology. Far from it.
With GaNFET coming onboard with lots of makes, it's a whole new ballgame.
All the best,

I love a Pass Labs high bias amps as much as anyone here, even had x260.5 monoblocks. But they are quite big, need adequate cooling and a adequate budget. These Myteks are not free either but hopefully gan can continue to improve with reduced cost. As there are not that many gan designs on the market yet I would consider the development interesting. But if you have the means to go high bias class a, that's great. |
