The revolution has begun!


Digital amps along with digital xovers are the future.....and you can have it NOW. I am not going to say that a $1400 Peachtree GaN1 amp will sound better than a $120K MSB Select, $145K Boulder Preamp and Bouder $250K mono blocks with $20K worth of cables in between (over half a million plus power cords and amp stands)......but it did beat the Holo May KTE with the Holo Serene Pre and Kinki B7 mono blocks with $1000 worth of interconnects ($13k). So what will it take to beat this $200 digital board from Elegant Audio Solutions powered from a $100 switching power supply? With a digital amp you do not need a DAC or a preamp or regular amp with feedback, tubes, or transistors. With digital amps you can bi or triamp your speaker drivers directly without the distortion of passive components. In fact, I would bet that if you bought two GaN 1 amps, bought the $600 digital xover from minisdp (with great linear supply and great coax cables) and biamped some drivers directly that it would sound better than most $50K systems. You could get 2 12 inch woofs and mount them on an open baffle and put a beryllium tweenter on top and set the xover to 1K or less (48db per octave). You hardwire your speaker cable to the woofers voice coil wires and use Music Purifiers and Ground Enhancers on each driver.....Bybee Clarifiers on the back of the woofer magnets.......speaker wires hardwired via plastic clamps into the amps (no binding posts or spades allowed here!). Of course, you can triamp.....and manufacturers will soon have powered digital speaker so all you will need is a source.

There will be other manufacturers designing and building digital amps that will (no doubt) be better than the EAS boards.....but they will come at a price. These, yet to be made digital amps will blow the industry wide open....as no more big heavy expensive boxes will ever need to be purchased......but what EAS has not is fantastic. When I do some mods to the Peachtree amp next month it should get a step or two better. Have fun!

I have started a webpage about all this and more and will be updating it continuously.

I love my Class A Luxman. HOWEVER, digital amps are great for listening to the ball game out in the garage

Arguing an unproven philosophy with many highly experienced music lovers and audiophiles is not a road to success I’m afraid.

Different strokes for.... well maybe even a secondary system?

I am posting this from Ralph’s website for a couple reasons. First Ralph is very clear about ... The result is a SOLID STATE amplifier.....

And he says he is using them at home. Well of course he is.

And just today I read of an owner of dual class A Pass Labs and receiving his first electricity bill under his energy suppliers rate hikes! Doubled in price and no relief in sight. Nothing for most movers and shakers, glad I have an old (completely rebuilt/upgraded) A/B Mosfet amp that stays in Class A always due to nearfield listening.

Even with good reviews already in the secondary market.

Infomercial? I do not sell amps using the EAS modules......You cannot tell the difference between a super enthusiastic person who thinks EVERYONE should know the good news and a salesman?  What if I was preaching religion?.....actually, I preach love.....who is getting paid?  We all get paid in happiness by sharing our knowledge and love with people so they can flourish.  Love is its own reward.  Go on......get excited about something!  WE ARE ALIVE......Live this moment.....it is the ONLY moment you ever have.....there is only the NOW.......you choose to enjoy the now or to resist it.  I choose to enjoy.

There are studies that PROVE that giving makes you happier.......Be of service......lift each other up.....lend a hand....spread the good word on things that are truly worthy.....and doable.

Congratulations, this is the most bewildering thread I have come across in a long time.
