GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@kuribo , let's look at this more philosophically. God determines our destiny. He arranged  this sale at this moment, a kind of a hint. We cannot have always what is the best. In my life, i have missed much more important things. Sometimes we have... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
No, in fact i didn't know that. I din't pay yet, I will ask. Still, perhaps the sale is worth of risk?

@clio09 , thank you for this post.  In comparison to the LSA, the LSA came off grainy in the upper frequencies, it was clearly heard after listening to the Atma-Sphere amps.  What you precisely mean with "grainy in upper frequencies", can you ... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
Can’t go wrong with the LSA or Peachtree at <$2k. Sure. Did you mean <$3K?  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@kuribo thanks for the answer.  @ricevs i sincerely --love-- your posts. do you also build amplifiers?  I may end up with buying the Voyager, for a very simple reason that it is on promo. Sometimes difficult decisions come out easy. The life if ...

@kuribo , if you were going to buy now a class D amp, which one(s) would you choose? Or, do you think that much better class D designs may appear in near future, and hence would you rather wait until then?

@orchardaudio and @atmasphere thank you for your comments and the link. I read them with an interest, they sound convincing.  Class D offers a way around that, by allowing for profound amounts of feedback that is very difficult to do even with m...

@kuribo , thanks for your input on Peachtree Gan 400. It is important to have different opinions here and your arguments seem reasonable.

@agdproduction , thank you for your input.  @ricevs, your comments were very useful, at least i clarified some things for myself. Design issues also have some (superficial) importance. These "tubes" and the AGD amps look look attractive to me. I ... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I am a scientist, a bit too far from audio engineering though. I have no time and also no desire to get deep enough into audio engineering science.  Nevertheless, this is a challenging field for me, because of my passion to music. Regardless of al...

@rsf507 thanks for the link. I have a bit better idea about Atmasphere amps than before. I may also ask by email. As to the distortion, I don't know what THD really means. As noted in this thread, my class A tube SET amp with THD 0.5 gives notably...

Then it seems that i have no clear idea on what the "hybrid" actually means and how it is implemented. How GaN output is "packed with tubes", just for an additional flavor or for an additional power? Which architecture is "preferable", hybrid or t...

Thanks everybody for your comments and passion to class D amps, a challenging alternative way of sound reproduction.  Analyzing your suggestions, if i am not mistaken, Jeff Rowland Model 125 is ICE Powered. Since I already had an ICE Powered amp,...

Do you mean any particular JR class d amp? As to Nuprime, i am not aware about STA 9 but still have HPA 9 preamp which is class a. Quite well sounding preamp by the way.

Thanks again for the input.  Based on your suggestions, current possible selections are (in the priority order) Peachtree Gan400, March audio P262 (which indeed seems to be well built - just judging by photos), VTV Purifi, and i may check the ot...
