| GaN based amplifier made in the USA from Class-D Audio USA Soix, not enough to validate my response. I set the MiniGan 5 back in the system. Will give it 30 days of continuous use and then re-evaluate again on Audiogon. My current bias was based on the fact, the Cherries sounded great strait out of the... | |
