| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I had a interesting demo session with my friend. The GAN1 sounded bad to him on the RAAL SR1a via a adapter box. He is used to the RAAL VM-1a so everything else sounds inferior. As I also said in my posts about the VM-1a. We then put his Bryston ... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? @jafant If I manage to last the year without getting fired from a second job I am doing, then I will get the Playback Designs Dream or Edelwise for both streaming and SACD. The designer of the Playback Designs DACs is the same guy that was involve... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta The tuner is out of consideration on the GAN1. However, my VM-1a headphone amp, which is better than the GAN1, has XLR inputs and I will use it with the RAAL SR1a earphones for the 3 hours in the morning as I listen to KCRW on my Magnum Dynalab MD... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I work 2 full-time jobs this year. Luckily, I work from home. If it was not for my stereo, especially my RAAL headphones for late night work, no chance I would be working so many hours. I also have a 6-year-old, though this year he is not getting ... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile I never considered listening to music a hobby. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Can anyone tell me what my implementation options are for adding my KEF KC62 sub with the GAN1? I am putting together a list of items that I am going to advertise to sell tomorrow. I am wondering whether to keep the fine sounding KEF KC62 or sell... | |
| Predicting the Next Paradigm Speaker Flagship...Persona v2? @tistru Great post. I am always interested in what Paradigm is doing, especially with the Persona lineup. Another competitor to the Persona from the point of view of the drivers is Yamaha, with the NS5000 and NS3000. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I forgot to mention that the AHB2 was better at low volume than the GAN1. Though now that I have the RAAL gear I do not listen at low volume while the family sleeps. Now, It is hard rocking all the time. :) The Lumin X1 direct to amp, is almost a... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I only had the stock GAN1 for a day and it was breaking in as I was listening to it. I did not hear the bad sound that Ric or Scott at Verdant Audio first heard. I do remember that the stock GAN1 (brand new) was not that great on the LS50 Meta so ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Done with my work-work for now. I wrote about how I will use the GAN1 because it was a mystery to me at first with the amp having only a single SPDIF input. I also did not want to get the Bluesnode streamer. I think getting the Lumin X1 was a ve... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I should add some congratulations to Ric, some real fine work with the mods. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I have been listening to the GAN1 amp + CODA #16 amp + Benchmark AHB2 mono amps + Lumin X1 DAC/Streamer + Benchmark LA4 preamp in various combos with the KEF LS50 Meta speakers. It turned out to be a lucky break that my KEF KC62 sub died last week... | |
| CLASS A POWER RATINGS I used to own the KRELL Duo 175XD and the K-300i so I know how the new KRELL sounds. I loved it. I sold the 175XD with the plans of buying the KSA -i400 or a CODA #16. I got a deal on a used #16 so I went that way. However, I do miss that new KREL... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I am now using the Lumin X1 with Leedh volume to stream and volume. Sounds real fine. It is 2AM and I cannot stop listening or start the work I was supposed to do. My Audience AU24 SX cables from the amp to the adapter box seems to have baked in... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I got a reply from Lumin on how to setup the volume for the GAN1. You need a 1.5m BNC to RCA 75 ohm coaxial cable. Connect the X1 BNC to the GaN 1. In Lumin app, change output to SPDIF. If not using Roon: After changing the output, turn on... |
