Class-D Audio USA have just released their new GaN amp at the CES
Thanks AGD. 
What is a reasonable discount from MSRP from a local dealer?
I was in the industry for three decades both as a manufacture and retailer i`m talking about the 70`s, 80`s and 90`s. As a manufacture of high end products we would sell to dealers at 33% less than retail. High End Audio had much less of a mark up... 
ARE WILSON AUDIO WATT PUPPY 8 FOR 6 GRAND A GOOD DEAL?
I currently have Watt Puppy 5.1`s and they are fantastic. In the last ten years i have had Raidho, Magico, DeVore and Audio Note speakers, none to me are as good as the Watt Puppy 5.1`s. In my system they are truly magical. I just got tired of pay...

Bigger than life.It`s like looking at a photo that seems too good to be true, the longer you look the more you can see the manipulation.I understand the allure but for me there is a void this is why i`m interested in products from a company like A...

Is AGD still in business? I have spent two days trying to get in touch with them.

The only ones that i have not heard are the Merrill, AGD and Technics. The Cherry is a notch above natural, if your around live music or people who play instruments which everyone in my family does what i have heard so far in Class -D portrays a b...

Before Covid-19 i was able to audition just about every Class-D amp available. To ME they have all sounded like SS on steroids and unnatural much like when CD players first hit the market.My question, do these GaN Class-d amps sound real and natur... 
Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp
The early 70`s (wall of sound years) produced the best live recordings not because i was part of that it just takes one listen.Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation out there, people claiming this and that and some giving themselves credi... 
Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp
chorus, Curl could have been there but you have to remember that there was at least 50 people that worked to put that sound system together and the only people at that time  were the Dead that everyone knew, no one but them at that time had a repu...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r86Sb4heCWM As can be seen in the video Phase Linear amps were used in the Wall Of Sound. These are what i remember as i mentioned earlier. 
Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp
Owsley Stanley or Bear as he was called was not always around. I was young at the time and he liked me mainly because i was his back up ears in the studio as he was deaf in one ear and i would double and third check his work at his request. I do k... 
Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp
My reference is late 60`-70`s. I helped with their sound at about 100 concerts during this period. In the beginning Jerry was very picky about his equipment guitars were custom made except the one from Gram Nash. During the late 70`s that seemed t... 
Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp
Phil Lesh used McIntosh not Jerry. Jerry used a Fender Twin that was silver faced, later he was using a Mesa Boogie Mark 3 and for effects he used a Mu-Tron 3. For additional speaker application for the Wall Of Sound they used stacks of Phase Line... 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
Julian Hirsch was also deaf in one ear. I spent some time with him thru the years and he truly believed that equipment which measured the same  sounded the same, well to him it did.
