Armed with this knowledge it might be interesting to ask a manufacturer of a GaN-based class D amp why their amp is so much more expensive.You’d have you been asleep, that goes with any new ground breaking technology eg:TV’s
The first models in audio by the boutique manufacturers are always sky high priced because they make their own boards, then once that new technology has proven itself to be the future, those pesky people in Asia like get hold of it and design and manufacture complete boards in the millions for a $100 dollars, that’s when the smaller manufacturers get them and charge too much because they put them in glitzy chassis and charge a fortune and rest on their past names.
soundsrealaudio....."Hum class D....should I sell my 300B???"Yes expensive also but they are the new GaN Class-D technology, stuffed inside a stupid tube housing, to keep the tube guys happy.
This guy thinks so!!!
