Class-D Audio USA have just released their new GaN amp at the CES

@hickamore....*L* Yup, and the landscape changes beneath your feet.

I'm a SS person myself, but having grown up with tubes and lived through the  transistor>chip>integrated circuit>MB 'eras', the 'new' is all I've known....*G*

I can appreciate the 'romance of tubes', and their 'sound'.  But 'smaller/faster/lighter' and eventually 'better' is the march we live with.

Of course, the 'better' issue is one that's still up to one to define and decide for one's self.  And I'm good with that...*S*

Right handed myself...not that it's right, nor wrong....it just Is. ;)

Have a good weekend, however handed...;)

Have Technical specifications for the new Class-D GaN amp been posted somewhere?

Nothing yet, just this preliminary brochure has been done that he sent me last night. He (Tom) should/will be watching this thread if you have any questions, as I gave him a link to it.

Here is a link to the brochure... http://premium-audio.com/brochure/premiumbrochure.pdf
Please keep in mind, this is the prototype. The final version has super nice gold RCA’s and nicer XLR’s.
Let anyone know, if they have questions, they can contact me at sales@premium-audio.com of through the website at www.premium-audio.com and www.premiumaudioproducts.com
I’m working 7 days and nights a week now trying to get things finished... lots in the works. I will try to answer emails as soon as I can.

Cheers George

The brochure brings to mind looking over a 'pro audio amp', as would be used in a live music venue.  It's front panel is one 'visually'; XLR's , as far as I aware, are still uncommon in 'audiophile' (sic) amps....

Personally, I don't have any issues with either; I use Behringer digital eq's and a crossover. along with a splitter/mixer.  1/4" jacks and XLR's exclusively..RCA? Nope. But I don't have a problem over 'gender bending'. *L* 

Or 'rack mounting' either.  And the $ seems fair for SOTA stuff..

At CES, that wasn't likely an issue...if you go to AXPONA, there might be some 'pushback' or consternation over that...

When I was 'newer' than I am now, Crown was a fav for audio, but now...mostly pro app amps...

But I suppose it's where you sense your market is, and more power to you. *G*  No pun intended, but there it is.... ;)

Cheerfully yours....

Looking at the premium website but seems to be unfinished. Was a release date mentioned?
