My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s


I am normally best suited to be behind the camera, but The Absolute Sound convinced me I should try my hand at reviewing. In listening to AGD’s Audion GAN amps I compared them with my BHK300’s. This was done direct from the my Dac - PS Audio DS MKII with APS transformers, to eliminate any preamp interactions.

@wolfie62 Not really sure what you’re saying.  GaN FETs are clearly different from MOSFETs, and the performance advantages of the former have allowed amp designers to not only more seriously rival traditional amps but are now starting to surpass them.  When a company like Atmasphere makes a GaN amp that the designer in most ways prefers to his MUCH pricier OTL tube amps that’s pretty strong evidence that something significant has changed.  Again, not really sure what your point is here.

Very nice review I enjoyed watching it. Very professionally done :-)

 

I really enjoyed the review for all the info and analysis. I actually have owned the Audions for about 1 years now and have gotten the upgrade tubes as well. The claims are true and the change in the faux tubes do change the sound signature very much like tube rolling.

The AGD I heard at Axpona from Alberto the designer room they sound good. If Iam correct Caladan speakers are using atmasphere class D they are good as well.
