What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
@soix  thanks but I can't see a link.

@ricevs I am not familiar with your modifications, the same question as Tjag above, can you describe your modifications and how each one effects the sound of the amplifier? Which amp is your favourite for modding?  
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
@mbmi Do I understand you right that you prefer the Peachtree to the Aavik? Also you are comparing an integrated (the Aavik U-150) to a power amp with a separate preamp. Is there any way to bypass the preamp section of the Aavik and use your Audio...

@blisshifi Thank you for taking the time to form such a detailed reply, it is exactly what I was looking for. I have been using Class D amplifiers for almost 20 years and the technology keeps on improving, IMO they are the future of amplification....

@blisshifi No problems, the Pascal modules (UMAC) don't use GaN technology, one of their features that makes them different to Hypex, Pufiri, IcePower and the rest of the classD designs is that they use a sinusoidal waveform instead of the more wi...

Aavik uses the Pascal modules. I currently have Hypex based Ncore NC400 monos with a BAT VK-40 preamp, I would like to upgrade to either the new Hypex Nilai 500 or the Aavik I-280. Very difficult to find comparisons.   
Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite?
That's a shame, I was hoping to see a comparison between the Aavik and the Hypex Nilai based amps. I have an option to buy an Aavik I-280, alternatively I will use the latest Hypex modules, I already have Hypex NC-400 based monoblocks.  
A Black Box to Solve Everything
I guess you could try a unity gain tube buffer which is normally used for impedance matching between components, I remember reading somewhere there was even a SS device which emulated the 2nd (and others?) harmonic of a tube and the distortion (ma...

Did this event happen? I would very much like to hear the views of the people who attended. Thanks.  
EverSolo Streamer
Thanks Lanx, I have seen those two, I may go with the Pulse Mini and get the external linear PSU too which supposedly elevates it to a different level.  
EverSolo Streamer
I am interested in this but only as a streamer. Has anyone compared it to other streamers, like the Lumin U1/U2 mini or the Holo Red?  
Aavik - Owners
I am in the process of changing my amplification and the I-280 is one of the amplifier I am considering. I currently have Hypex Ncore NC400 based monoblocks with a BAT preamplifier, I wanted to go full Class A but it looks like I will be staying w...

New Class D amplifiers
I would love to hear more opinions about the Nilai500, I currently have DIY Ncore 400 monoblocks. Is it worth upgrading to the Nilai500? It supposed to be as good or even better than the Purifi amps. I am also considering the new Aavik amplifiers ... 
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
IMO streaming has still not matured enough, it is certainly frustrating but also exciting times, there is a constant stream of new companies / new products that sound better than previous generation products. Also the price should be driven down a...
