| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? This is a comment that I often see made by people that purport SETs. We might have a difference of opinion here; mine is that the equipment should not add or subtract WRT to the beauty of the recording. In this way, the more neutral you can get t... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? The original question is about now and the future. History from hundreds of years ago is a broader topic involving context to understand how and why. I put more value in first hand experience of the last 20 years. There is a common theme relate... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I have not had a Class D amp that bettered my best Class A or even AB amp yet. I have kept it under $3K for the various Class D amps I have tried. However, for certain applications, like my office system, with the LRS+ it is a lot of Class A or A... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Getting back to GAN amps. I got the used Peachtree GAN400 (400W) today and replaced the modded Peachtree GAN1 (200W) on my Magnegan LRS+. Those ratings are for both 8 and 4 Ohm. The LRS+ sounds more alive with that additional power, and also the... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Like re soldering makes a difference. When I owned Thiel speakers, a support guy at Thiel sent me the solder Thiel uses for my driver replacement because he said they thought it sounded better. It definitely was nicer to apply over other solder... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I have tried the Voyager 350 GAN and the Peachtree GAN400 with Thiel CS3.7 and Magnepan LRS+. Another poster on this thread has successfully tried the GAN400 with the LRS+ and other Maggies. In my case, the GAN amps were able to delivery very goo... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I will be keeping my Yamaha NS5000 for a very long time. I have wanted to buy it for about 7 years and it was well worth the wait. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? You can also buy a cheaper amp and tweak it (void the warranty) and potentially have an amp that sounds a lot better. I have (or had) both great stock amps and tweaked amps. I listen to music a ton of hours each day on both types of amps. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? The reason I went to Ric for mods was I had my Sony SCD-1 modded 20 years ago the way Ric described in his post (by KERN I think). The change in sound was incredible, especially in the SACD layer. I had that player for over 20 years, and it only d... | |
| Parasound vs Coda I got my new CODA #8 from Destination HiFi. An excellent dealer. | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 Did you get to listen to the KRELL Duo 300XD? I have to agree with the post above regarding Parasound and CODA. Though I only had the A21+. The A21+ is good for the price, the A23 I had was not so good, even for the price. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I had a D-Sonic Class D using Pascal module (new about 4 years ago) it was powerful, but it was not as resolving on top as the GAN amps I had afterwards. I also had a NAD M22 V2 which is also Class D and I returned it since it was not as good to ... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @sworksone Where did you hear the Trafomatic preamp. Is your model listed on this website? Preamplifiers - Trafomatic Audio | |
| Parasound vs Coda I think I like the LA4 and CODA #16 (or #8) combo the best. Though I only gave the Serene a short workout with the #16. The LA4 also works better with the #16 because it is so small, and I can hide away from the amp. I have been thinking about of... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? The amps I want to hear is the Daniel Hertz Maria "amps". It is like the PeachTree GAN1, but maybe not GAN. It also has an A2D convertor for analog sources. I also believe a sub is easy to hook up to it. No remote control though. I am looking for... |
