I have a feeling break-in may have also played a role here. Nevertheless, whenever a solid state amp is likened to a tube amp in any way, it’s usually a good and welcomed thing. Thanks for your feedback! GaN amps in general really seem to have closed some sizable gaps from prior generations of Class D amps. When @atmasphere develops a GaN amp, that gets my attention and further supports the melding of GaN with tube-like qualities without the hassle of tubes nor the energy bill penalty.
peachtree gan 400 is very good
you know this is class d - i know its been talked about for better or worse and it might be a little passe already - in terms of whats hot right now. But this happens to be a very good amplifier.
It does the subtle things really well - it wont dazzle you at all - its charming though
it really grows on you - at first your like -"whats so special about this amp - another let down" - then after a couple of weeks of listening - (i know a couple of weeks) it
it started to reveal its liquidity and charmingness - remember nothing is thrusted at you - so its hard to pinpoint because in the beginning, the amp sounds so ordinary
but if you are patient - you get rewarded (not in razzle dazzle) but in everything you play sounding good (again if the recording is good)
its as good as any tube amp - for the same price - its cleaner and just as good tonally
