Another marketing gimmick?


Put micro sized components in a glass structure that resembles a vacuum tube?

Im thinking pure aesthetics were the goal here. No need to put those "advances" mosfets in a glass tube?

I guess someone will buy it.

Like @truthhouse said, check it out on OCD Hi Fi Guy’s YouTube channel before passing judgement. Of course you’re not gonna get the full experience through YouTube, but it gives you an idea of a great sounding Class D amp, which I was skeptical about too before I saw these vids. Thanks @nonoise for giving the facts about these amps and giving a basic explanation of them and the designer and engineer of these amps. Believe me, I’d love to hear them in real life too before coming to a final conclusion, but they certainly look cool IMO. 
@jond ,
That was just a bit of snark what with all the dog piling going on.
Nothing personal. 

All the best,
Nonoise
Another SOTA 'breakthrough', or 'Audiophile Jewelry'?

Truth be told only in the hearings, which any suspect should get it's day in court.....so to speak...*L* ;)

But, listening to anything playing through my playthings...still sounds like my stuff....to me.  If anyone can do a variant of 'astral projection' thru their 'puter, I'd like to know How, Please.

And it'd better work on 'live' stuff...'projecting' into a mpeg would merely dump you into a servers' hard drive or the like.....

I don't think I'd like that very much....:(

And if you think hackers or virus attacks are to be feared....

....you'd really not like a 'virtual ME'. *evil L*

First, the newest class D amps are damned good, at least my EVS 1200 is, which is the 5th class D amp/s I've owned overt the last 5+ years, BUT, GaN is heralded as the a major advancement in musical clarity, in that it transitions much faster, meaning it's a clearer lens, similar to the finest camera optics, which are similarly expensive


GaN is the newest tech, with lots of R & D involved for audio applications, which makes it more expensive than even the best class D amps. That said, Underwood HiFi has just introduced the Voyager, a GaN amp for under $3K. WTH?


I am in high anticipation of having one very soon. Once I get to compare to my EVS 1200, I will start a thread on it
