@wolfie62 Not really sure what you’re saying.  GaN FETs are clearly different from MOSFETs, and the performance advantages of the former have allowed amp designers to not only more seriously rival traditional amps but are now starting to surpass them.  When a company like Atmasphere makes a GaN amp that the designer in most ways prefers to his MUCH pricier OTL tube amps that’s pretty strong evidence that something significant has changed.  Again, not really sure what your point is here.
 

See my post above. That’s my point!

A pleasant article with no gnashing of teeth.

@emailists Great review…. I saw it on YouTube a few days ago.  I like your style of review.  You should do more!

@bolong I concur with your assessment of how different interconnects and power cables modify the sound of the Audion amps.  The Audions seem to deliver whatever sound qualities a cable or component feeds it.  They are nice amps in my setup.

On so many threads here, some audio hooligan shows up, bristling with self-appointed importance & "expertise," and proceeds to drag the thread into snark and recrimination.

Always a bummer to encounter this stuff....
