| The Future of Audio Amplification Along with Texas Instruments (TI), looks like Analog Devices is also getting into the manufacture of the GaN technology https://www.analog.com/en/applications/technology/gan.htmlCheers George | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Looks like GaN is starting to take off. Not only Texas Instruments (Burr Brown) who are into the manufacturer of GaN transistor technology, but it seems Analog devices now also. GaN is already being developed into Class-D audio by a few amp manuf... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! I am reading this thread with amusement regarding the same old same old people pushing their gear. +1. Correct, whether it’s what they sell, make or own, they push, it’s never with them what they don’t have an affiliation with.Cheers George | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! George: even with the smaller Diablo 300 intergrated, the mid range and highs seem to “float” and the speakers almost disappeared as you correctly stated. But I was also very impressed with the bass. Yes to me the Gryphon’s are one of the best co... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! No grief about it sunshine.Just saying it, because all these inefficient, heavy, hot and expensive linear amps like the Gryphon, even though I love them now, will be dinosaur’s one dayCheers George | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! I've heard a Gryphon Antilleon Evo Signature in high bias mode, drive the "undrive'able" 0.9ohm!!! in the bass Wilson Alexia 1's and 2's, that amp drove them as if they were a pair of Klipsch-horns, and the mids and highs were so detailed yet flo... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? To me NOS sounded better that OShttps://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/256748-holo-spring-dac-level2-review/?tab=comments#comment-40...Cheers George | |
| It's time to replace my 2009 factory-modded Wadia S7i with a current R2R DAC. dr-john If you like me, cherish your PCM Redbook cd collection, then yes stay with an R2R dac. As nothing does PCM like an R2R ladder dac.The only trouble is now the major audio dac converter chip manufactures don’t make them anymore, way too exp... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Yep looks like GaN technology has infiltrated into car audio also and beat the competitors, the SoundDigital SD300.2https://ibb.co/80x8L1CMatt Hall, a very experienced sound quality competitor and audiophile, has done an amazing test with numero... | |
| Have speakers need new electronics discopete OP2 posts01-16-2019 8:20amFrom what I understand also, is that I want power that is stable at 4 ohms for these speakers correct? Correct as it’s said they have a similar impedance/-phase load as the 608’s, which dip down below 4ohms, in... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? George, looks like you made my point. As Steve Colino of GaN (EPC) has said below, there is no need for any heatsink on the GaN transistors if they are used at todays switching speed. Only if you use the option to raise that switching speed to gai... | |
| VAC + Wilson Audio I know Egar, he said the 4B3 drove his Alexia's, if they did that, then your choice is easy, it will suit any Wilson, take your pick, and enjoy.http://www.bryston.com/PDF/reviews/2017_08_Review_4B3_Audio_Esoterica.pdfCheers George | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Heatsinks are required, even for Gan devices switching at lower speeds If you ran this thing under heavy conditions, it would fail And yes Gan devices have their own heat pad underneath which is sweated to the ground plane of the PCB. But that ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? http://www.ti.com/power-management/gallium-nitride/overview.html Here we go hopefully, one of the majors have got the rights to make it, watch Class-D take off now, and finally compete with the best of Linear amps in the mids and highs and beat ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Heatsinks are required, even for Gan devices switching at lower speeds, regardless of what EPC allegedly said. This is not correct.You can buy your own EPC GaN boards from Digikey, and yes they operate with no heatsink. Because EPC’s Steve Colino... |
