Anybody else waiting for GaN and Purify to have a baby?
The "distortion signature" is just one of an infinite amount of things that effect the sound. So no, no two different implementations of Purifi amps sound the same (I am trying two new mods tomorrow on a Purifi amp and I am sure I will hear two ne... 
Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
Viber6,It is not black and white like you always describe. There is an infinite shade of things. Did not you read how the LSA became faster and clearer (less tube like, to you) after he got rid of the rubber feet? My mods will make it even faster ...

What I said is not what you stated.....I will leave it at that. I am very pleased that we have new and better amps for everyone to enjoy. Yes, the world moves on...we all move on...don’t get stuck in the past. I am very excited to receive the full... 
How to know if GAN-fet amp and Lyngdorf 2170 (as a Pre and Dac) are compatible
A two volt output on a DAC means.....two volts at 0db on a CD. This is the industry standard. If your amp has 26db of gain.....like the LSA Voyager does....then that means it has 20 times gain. There are practically no CDs that put out 0db on the ...

I don't think that is a good guess.  Ease of heatsinking?  Have you seen the tiny heatsinks that people use on the GaN's.Look how tiny the heatsinks are on this new Orchard 250 watt into 8 ohm module are:https://orchardaudio.com/starkrimson-ultra-...

Can you and will you articulate the fine details of the differences between the two amps? Blow away......means what? So far, I know nothing except you think it is more lifelike, smoother, more continuous, purer and now "blows away". What about ton...

Not going to happen.  Bruno does not care for GaNs......of course, he could? change his mind.

It will be interesting to hear the "real story" of the development of the Voyager, etc. Apparently, LSA and Peachtree are buying the power supply and the modules from a 3rd party? So, maybe they had nothing to do with the development? Maybe their ...

So, the stock footers on the LSA are sorbothane? How do you know they are sorbothane and not some other type of rubber footer? All soft things are bad...so no matter. Just curious. I cannot imagine putting soft rubberish feet on anything. I includ...

It’s $3000 MSRP.....same as the new Peachtree GaN 400.....and we shall see soon if they are the same amp or not. Maybe Peachtree or Wally can chime in here and let us know. We will know for sure after someone opens the hood on the hot rod Peachtre... 
A full range speaker?
I mentioned a serious implementation of the Lii Silver 10 and you talk about your time with a Fast 8 mounted with two screws in a POS box. Sorry, I cannot take anything you say seriously. The way you post, how you talk, your system, your POS speak... 
A full range speaker?
My friend is using the Lii Silver 10 on a four foot high baffle.....two feet wide....with four foot by one foot wings going straight back on the sides. He has measured 40hz flat in his room.....-5 at 30hz. The Silver 10 has a 28hz resonance. He ad... 
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
All implementations of the Purifi module sound different.  Some OK and some very good and some very, very good.  Here is another take on a $1650 version.....reviewed with Magico speakers:http://www.10audio.com/evs-vtv.htm

Glass shelves?  Get some serious shelving and footers....will blow your mind.  Get all the cables off the floor.....way more open sound.  Lots to do. 
GaN based amplifier made in the USA from Class-D Audio USA
Actually, one of the earliest Class D GaN amps is the Orchard Mono blocks.....been out for a couple of years.......$1500 the pair.  They have a new stereo amp with even more power for $2500.  Also made in the USA.https://orchardaudio.com/shop/ols/...
