peachtree gan 400 is very good

so true - although i am ever so guilty of the amp that impresses right away over the years and not really head over heels with it a month later - this seems like the reverse of that

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.

your right on about gan amps - especially this one - closing some gaps I think its also a given - and also you need a decent preamp to get the performance i am talking about,

you cant use a preamp - that costs $200 tube or solid state and expect the amp to sound good - you cant - you got to have a preamp that allows the amp to sound good - so many preamps put the cabash on an amp - and that person then thinks the amp is no good - when it could be the preamp not lending itself 

its as good as any tube amp - for the same price

So you’ve heard a lot or all tube amps at this price in your system...?

When @atmasphere develops a GaN amp...

Already done that, first run sold out w/o marketing
