@t_ramey I own the Class D mono blocks. Running them with a VAC Renaissance MkV preAmp.
I am wondering how many $$$ I’d have to spend for any meaningful sonic improvement.
They have to be in any discussion regarding the best bang for buck amplifiers.
@2psyop stopped by to hear the system and I think he thought they were worthy.
If your DAC has a built in pre try it. You might be surprised.
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
There have been a number of threads discussing the wonder of GaN and some of the individual amplifiers that have caught peoples attention, including those from AGD, Atma-Sphere, Peachtree, LSA, etc. Has anyone done a shootout against two or more GaN amps? If so, which did you prefer, and why? And on what speakers?
Also, of the one you preferred, do you prefer it over every other amplifier you’ve ever heard? If not, what non-GaN amp do you enjoy more?

@t_ramey I use Schitt Freya which has passive and 2 active level modes. I’ve used both gain levels with the Class D Audio amp depending on SPL needed. Have not tried the passive but the Class D amp has adjustable input gain jumper switch on the back. I use default setting but gain could be increased to better match passive mode in theory (have not tried, active modes are top notch). Just be sure to securely set the input sensitivity jumper if you change it. |
