Cables best suited to electrostatic speakers
Weisen,Where did you source that wire.?  Hard to find is occ magnet wire. 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
This is what I think.  Legacy buys stereo modules.  They use them in all the amps.  So, an i-v8 would have 4 stereo modules (8 channels).  The regular i-v4 has two stereo modules (4 channels).  The I-v4 ultra has 4 stereo modules (8 possible chann...

Doug,You are making a mountain out of a mole hill.  You stated something in your review that made no sense to me.....the bridging thing.  So, I asked you where you got that information.  Then you repeated the same information, that to me, still ma...

Douglas,I consider what you said about modding to be ridiculous. Every new product is a revision or mod of the last one. Many companies just use different techniques or better parts they learn anew in the next model.....It is a mod. We keep learni...

Douglas Schroeder,Where did the information come from that you posted about the Legacy Ultra being a bridged amp using both channels on each stereo module in some kind of bridge? "a differential topology"? As far as I know, each channel is already...

Microphonics are important.  You do no want a loosely wound coil.  Mundorf has a newer foil inductor where they use special paper and resin to create an even tighter coil for better sound.https://www.mundorf.com/audio/en/shop/Coils/Air_Coils/MCoil...

I did not like Solen Litz inductors when I tried them. OFC Mundorf Foil inductors were way, way more transparent and extended (both were 12 gauge). Even the type of coating on a litz wire will have a serious effect on the sound. The thicker the co...

There is not much "info" out there on inductor direction.....pretty esoteric.  They measure the same either way and have no "outside foil" like a film cap so most people just do what they want.  As a long time serious tweaky listener, I wanted to ... 
Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander
Air core coils will sound best if you have the signal enter the inside of the foil and exit the outside.....either towards the driver or towards ground.  The xover should never be inside the vibrating box.  Run the wires out the back and have the ...

So, what class D amps have you heard and which Class A transistor amp did the AGD better and in what ways?  Thanks. 
AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
Really would be great if you guys did a blow by blow.  What amps did you have before and how are these better/different?  I will take information overload any day over not much said............"one of the best amps"......."the best I've had".........

Not exactly.  What I can do is modify the Rouge Audio Design Studio N-10DM dual mono IceEdge amp that can be purchased and delivered here in the US for $1600.  I then add my mods ($550) to it and it will be identical to your EVS 1200 amp minus the...

George, How many times have you posted this info?......a million?  Yet, Michael Fremer thought the stock module to be quite good (read the stereophile review of PS audio 1200 amps)....he did not think the mids and highs on the $6K monos were quite...

I have only seen the blah Herb Reichert review of the LKV (says it beats an old class D amp and is somewhat competitive with a $3500 Rogue tube amp).  Are there other reviews?For $10K I would expect more.  
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
AGD GaN amps are not $32K. The Audion’s are $7500 a pair and the more powerful Gran Vivace’s are $18.5K a pair.Also coming out this summer is a new Manhattan amp from Mytek....200 watts a channel dual mono stereo GaN based for $7K......The $20K 50...
