| How good's your hearing So what is the website of your shop? These are about as close as the "Lightspeed Attenuator" gets to being a shophttps://forum.audiogon.com/topics/amps-preamps?tab=alltimehttps://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analog-line-level/80194-lightspeed-attenua... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? It will be several years before this GaN class D audio amplifier IP technology becomes truly affordable. I don’t believe so, EPC have already sold these to several Class-D manufacturers direct, and Digikey are already selling it, it doesn’t take ... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification It’s what I said, and have been saying now about GaN technology for close on a year. It’s the single biggest technology improvement step so far since Class-D technology made an appearance in "full range" audio, not just for subs. And what you said... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? How long is it likely to be before GaN is in mid priced gear? That Technics SU-G30 which is a server as well as an integrated is the cheapest so far at $3900, but it's only 50w into 8ohm and 100 into 4ohm so not for everyone. So if that was a p... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I definitely recommend people always seek out and consider the latest and greatest technical innovations that can clearly help move things forward, Class D or otherwise, especially before dropping big bucks on older technology alternatives that ha... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I hope their use continues to trickle down to even more affordable amps as George predicted (good call). It seems they rather quickly went from only being used in the $50K Technics to these new AGD monos at $15K/pair. Still too steep for me but... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Great find, by mountainsong GaN technology for $4k, and this Technics SU-G30 is also a complete network integrated amplifier. Seems like it doesn’t use the 1.5mhz higher switching frequency that the $20k Technics SE-R1 uses, but does use a hy... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I’ll consider your response promising. Like I said before, when this GaN technology becomes more affordable, and looking that this latest stuff coming out it’s not too far off. Those that were negative towards all the pro’s it had to offer from o... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? One day maybe, when the price (not looks) of the performance of the SE-R1 comes down to the the price or lower of the SU-G30. GaN technology seems to be lit, just needs more semi conductor manufactures like Motorola, AD, Texas, ect ect. to purchas... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? mountainsongTechnics SU-G30 really amazing. Great find.GaN technology for $4k, and this Technics SU-G30 is also a complete network integrated amplifier. Seems like it doesn’t use the 1.5mhz higher switching frequency that the $20k Technics SE-R1 ... | |
| How good's your hearing Where was or is your shop? RegardsJim I don't have one Jim, just manufacture and send direct world wide, 60% to the US.Cheers George | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? No interest in listening but happy to pass along unsubstantiated fact by way of heresay " From what I have heard" last time I checked, that meant he heard them.And even if it "was" hearsay, I would Google if I were you, as many have said it.And I... | |

Your welcome, if you can get around the 6550 tube envelope bs around this,... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. bdp24 Nelson Pass is now offering a kit version of his nice First Watt B4 active electronic x/o at an irresistible price. I too would like a link to this kit, I can't find it anywhere???Cheers George | |
