Competitive class D amp suggestions
Good for Ralph...life can't just be about music and Gear 🤣. I can't seem to find it now but I think Ralph said that his goal with the Class D Monos was to get the distortion as low as possible and be sure that any residual distortion was dominate... 
Competitive class D amp suggestions
I'd like to ask Ralph two questions about class d in general but I will use his class d to ask the questions: 1.  How do I equate a class d amplifiers power output with its power draw.  So for example, your class d amp is capable of producing 100... 
What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean?
Auto detailer, both Meguiars and Mothers, seem to be common recommendations for keeping speakers looking their best...but realistically, its not like the stuff needs to be used every week...maybe 2x per year.  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
It is pretty strange that in this day of measurements, that LSA would allow a product that measures this poorly to hit the market without a few tweaks that would drastically improve its sinaid and other measurements and maybe even the sound. But,... 
Maraschino Cherry by Digital Audio
@rhale64  Fortunately, solid state gear is pretty reliable these days.  Nevertheless, if you can share the details and contact info of who is doing the repairs, I suspect that it would be appreciated by Cherry owners...and should probably also be... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse   I haven’t read this anywhere about the M225s, so I’m wondering, some  amps seem to need an hour of warm up time to sound their best….is that what you found with the M225s?

Maraschino Cherry by Digital Audio
At this point, no one has stepped in to purchase the business. Keep your eye on US Audiomart and Audiocircle as they pop up there from time to time as do the 2-5 Cherries.   
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse  During your listening test, in addition to your analytical listening did you also do what I like to call musical listening… no analysis, just close your eyes and see which amp is the most musically and emotionally compelling… and with ... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
The AVA's will also be an interesting comparison as they have had a lot of good press lately as well.  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse  It will be interesting to read your comparison of the Voyager and the Atmasphere Class d monoblocks.  Based on the specs of your speakers...it appears that the Atmasphere could easily drive them to over 104db at a listening position 10... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse  LSA doesn't talk much in their literature about lowering distortion instead mainly focusing on the advantages of GaN.  San Francisco Audio Society liked the amp, Audio Science Review did not.  It will be interesting to read your impres... 
Ideas for an amplifier?
I wouldn't worry too much about buying a preowned Cherry amp just because Tommy is no longer with us.  Solid state amps these days are pretty darn reliable and you may very well be able to pick up an amp that has a tube like midrange with a solid ... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@twoleftears  I went back a reread the absolute sound review...and Frank gives a lot of credit to both the differential balanced design and the Exicon power mosfet output transistors...so hopefully Ralph can shed some light on why this might be s... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse  It would be great if you continue to report back on your experience with the M225s.  Frank Van Alstine is quoted in the Absolute Sound review as saying that one of the goals with this amplifier was to, as much as possible, completely e...
