Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite?


The time has come to put to the people a listening test of some of the better

current "Contenders" in the race for Best Class D GaNFET Sound.

 

The existing media can not manage such an undertaking for many reasons.

This event will help consumers decide which products best meet their needs.

 

I have not heard all the players but will suggest these names for inclusion in this comparison.

 

1. Mola Mola 

2. Atmasphere 

3. AGD

4. Bel Canto

5. NAD

6. ?

7. ?

8. ?

 

Finale Aavik vs winner of above 

 

Event will be held either in Seattle or the Bay Area.

 

We can support about three more brands in this comparison.  

It will be setup as an A/B audience listening event

comparison starting with the two lowest MSRP products.

 

 

After the seven A/B comparisons one amp would emerge as the audience favorite.

This winner would then go head to head with the Aavik in the 8th round.

 

I will plan this for a July-August 2023 event open to the public.

 

I now open this to further discussion, ideas and suggestions for the last three slots.

HiFiHandy, Which other Class D's are you familiar with?

I spoke to the Seattle people today and they are excited

about a class d event. 

I was just abbreviating.....it is the newer high powered module from Purifi....the 1ET7040SA

The mods are mostly the same for all amps.  I will have more info on my site in a few days.   Basically, clean up the AC input path.....the output wire and output jack path, change the caps in the output filter or mod the existing ones.....Sometimes I change the input wire, mod op amps, damp things, remove not needed parts, raise the input impedance, change some input stage parts, etc.
