I'll cut to the chase: some of the most musical amps I've heard in over 40 years in this wonderful pursuit. My tube amps, which are high quality all, have been silent since I started using the Class D Audio MiniGan 5's (mono's and XLR). You can follow the detailed thread on the Audio Circle Spatial Audio page. But, with Spatial Audio Sapphire M3's, these MiniGans are absolutely astounding. In example, I own 100 lb., 50 watt, Class A, Psvane 845 mono's (tubed with Linlai's Elite series tubes). Some of the finest 845 amps ever. For my musical taste, the MiniGans, weighing 5 lbs., 300 watts, out-perform the Psvanes. Upstairs, on Merlins, the MiniGans, again, to my musical taste, out-perform Manley Neo-Classic 300B's, Granite Audio 864 SR's, Hartung OTL's (all mono's). Extraordinary development. Revolution? Seems to me....
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?

@maw8c Any update on your impressions of the amp? |
@evank this is unfortunate to hear about. I just suggested a friend look into this amp to hook up to his Sprout 2 to give more power and have better sound. He’s looking into the latest Magnapans (around $1k- I forget which model) I’m really interested in a 5 channel GAN amp for home theater if anyone knows of one (preferably reasonably priced) ClassD said a while back they might make one, but haven’t seen any word about it. |
I was hoping the problem could have been solved. Plenty of people are using these amps with no problems. I switched preamps and cables and still had a problem. My own amp back in the chain and no problems before or after. Let's hope they can figure it out. Bench testing would not work I don't think if it's intermittent. @soix Love the GaN Fets just couldn't give this one run through,sorry |
