I've got an MSB S-200 power amp and it seems to bring no coloration of its own to the party; I use it with a Herron Audio tube preamp, and it sounds like it's going through a tube preamp.

From the feedback we started getting, it does seem that GanFET, especially the slightly warm ontop designs like our Empire Stereo Monoblocks, do satisfy listeners who up until now would prefer tubes. They usually prefer tubes because of this elusive "musicality" when you can seat and enjoy music flowing for hours without that digitus top. GanFET amps seem to deliver the same plus more: smooth tube like top but also tight controlled bass (unlike most tube amps) - the best of both worlds! And other pluses are they are 95% efficient (no heat nor heatsinks). When you understand their transfer characteristic it’s straight line like Class A - they sound great without feedback too. And more great things like digital input/no DAC are possible. John Gatski, Gary Gill and DC HiFi Group are doing a GanFET / Class D shootout this weekend in DC, if you want to hear comparisons between several of them, including Myteks. Michal at Mytek |
fosolitude74 posts I don’t like solid state but at the recent Capital Audio Fest I heard Mytek’s newest flagship monoblocks, the Empire Ganfet, and it was seriously good. Most solid state, regardless of price, set me off but these I would have in my home. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I just posted a video comparing our GanFET to the no feedback Class A Nelson Pass Threshold 3A , explaining the circuit theory on why the GanFET amps can have these tube like qualities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjrSSC3ugzE&t=9s Hope you like the great new tech versus great old tech.
