What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
"Many audiophiles still live their lives according to the myth that we can hear things we can’t measure (which was true in the 1980s) as if somehow measurement technology had not marched into the present the same way that every other tech has impr...

Ralph,   I have been modding class d amps since 2005.  No one has ever heard birdies or AM signals or whatever.  I can clearly see the harmonics on my scope riding on the 400-500K waveform.....What I do does not increase the noise and as I just s...

The Peachtree GaN400 is $2000.....another $500 gets you a mod that transforms it into an even better power amp.....same with all of the amps mentioned below. I have modded the LSA Voyager amp (same amp module as in the Peachtree Gan400), differen...

As stated by Greg_f above......it is implentation that determines the final sound.  All Ganfet amps sound different and not necesarilly better than Mosfet based amps (Purifi and Hypex).  Modded high power Purifi amps (VTV even has a tubed buffer v... 
Buchardt Anniversary 10 powered monitors with Purifi woof, new tweeter and DIGITAL amps!
Check this out: A MASTERPIECE and Modern HiFi Marvel. Buchardt Audio's Anniversary 10 Speaker Review. Wooo! - YouTube Sure, I bet modding the internal amps and upgrading wire, etc,  would help the highs especially.  
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
You want to take your system to another whole level (way, way, way better than isolation transformer).....then get off the grid.....Use large Lifepo4 batteries and a Giandel pure sine wave inverter.......will blow your mind.......then add a Purita...

The Ground Enhancers are a copy of the original Audio Prism Ground Control (no longer available). Please do a search.....you will find rave reviews and more information on those. The Ground Controls were sold for $150 a pair and my better sounding...

Harpo75, So glad you are tweaking everything in your system......Here are a couple more things I have experienced: 1. 12 gauge Jantzen wax paper coils sounded WAY better than 14 gauge Jantzens on my Neo 10 planar midrange driver. 2. Going into ... 
Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers
This is so great.....the handfull of "it cannot make a sonic difference because I think so" objectivists.......come out in full force about power cords and fuses. There are thousands and thousands of posts all over the world about the sonic differ...

Actually, the tube connectors are not that great. You still have two solder connections and a connector.....it may have a shorter connection than most connectors but not as pure as a WBT Nextgen with low mass pure copper connections. My plastic cl... 
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
If you want to take it to another level......here are some suggestions: 1. Hardwire everything......no spades on your speaker wires.....hardwire your speaker wire right to the xover parts. Remove the connectors from the xover to the panels. Hardw... 
Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers
When I worked for MFA years ago they had some Soundlab A3 electrostats there. I told Scott Franklin that if you replace the very small fuse with a super large value the sound would be much better.......so he went out to the workshop and got a 30 a... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I have finally A/Bed the modded GaN 1 with the modded VTV D300......at first it was not close.....the VTV slaughtered the GaN 1.......but the GaN 1 needed burn in......it kept getting better and better......but today still sounded somewhat 2D and ... 
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
When I used the servo subs I found the bass much better with the fuse bypassed in the amp and the binding posts all bypassed on the drivers. You might want to call the guy at GT Audioworks and ask him why he changed from the servo woofs to the AE...
