Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Let me give Ric a bit of support on these comments by saying that I had the brand-new stock LSA Voyager 350 GAN amp. It was pretty good as stock and I heard it for the first 200 hours with my Thiel CS3.7 (sold), KEF LS50 non-meta, and RAAL SR1a. ...

Well, my GAN1 is now gone for 1 or 2 months while Ric does his thing. I won’t be acclimated to it when I get it back. It won’t be a apples-to-apples comparison because I know it will be better than stock from the mods. However, the rolled off qual... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I have been informed that the rolled of nature of the GAN1 that I described is something that another owner heard but it went away after more hours.

@ricevs Ric, the amp is on the way for Wednesday delivery. I also sent you my RAAL SR1a earphone and RAAL adapter box for you to hear. I also have the second-best headphone cable for the earphone in the box. I do not connect speakers (option ava...

@ricevs If you want the amp, I can send it up to you. If you get back to me before 4PM I can send it today. However, I am going to stick with the SR1a for the GAN1 and not my 2-channel gear. I am going to setup the fibre steaming in my family room... 
Musetec Audio MH-DA005 ES9038 Pro x2 DAC VS the Lab12 dac1 reference Tube Hybrid Dac
The Musetic is a slight warm and slightly smooth DAC. If you have a very warm system, it may be too much of a good thing. I have 2 Musetec 005’s so I like it, but I use it wth neutral gear. Two Benchmark LA4 preamps, Benchmark AHB2 amp, and CODA #...

It is 3AM no and I got kicked off my ROON server. I force the server to shutdown automatically so that I have to go to sleep. I had a great listen with the SR1a headphones. My intuition about synergy of the GAN1 + SR1a was correct. Let me first a...

The amp has opened up a lot and now the bass is comparable to my AHB2. That is using the WyWire speaker cables that are exaggerating the bass. The GAN1 is now doing the same thing (that is good). I still think the GAN1 is still a little more laid...

@donnylovely Yes, I think you mentioned it previously on this thread. I did some research on this and now I forgot what the heck I learned. I will re-visit that later today. I did get in a second set of Audience AU24 SX speaker cables today, thou...

I got my GAN1 amp today and set it up with the gear described in my prior post. All is working great. I decided to use my best USB cable too. The unit is FOB so it is not fair to comment too much, but I am seriously impressed by this unit. The so... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
I tried a quilt and then bought an acoustic panel. I also tried both. I ended up throwing the TV out.  In that photo above those books must really help. It helped my setup when I put a bookshelf behind the speakers.    
Luxman 590AX II Break-In
The m900u (and I am sure the M10X) has way more current than the 509x. I had the same observation when I heard those 2 with Harbeth (I was looking to buy KEF Reference 1). Dealer told me it is the power supply in the m900u that is the making that ...

I have not received my GAN1 unit yet but I did receive all the extra streaming parts I listed in a prior post: WyWiire "Silver" SPDIF cable with BNC to RCA termination Sonore UltraDigital a cheap USB cable (I have a WyWIre USB also but I am n... 
VTV D300 Digital amp
@ricevs You are correct and so am I, a Kumbaya moment! A.H.B. The letters A, H, and B allude to the unique topology of the amplifier’s output stage. The AHB2 combines class-AB, and class-H topologies using a feed-forward error correction ... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
@grisslehamn I understand some of us start from a deficit on those brain cells, so here is a link to what I am talking about. My buddy had some other model, but the projector tech is "Laser" something. There is this new thing called the internet t...
