GaN amplifier from GaN themselves limited supply!!!

I have built 4 of these to date, the first was for me but as soon al local Las Vegas audiophiles heard it they were begging me to build them one.There is another reference board in the design stages as I have been in direct contact with Rick Reigel from GaN.
As far as any tests done my AS, remember the design was built to show off the performance without high loop feedback which is what we want, trust me. The board has the ability to have open loop and closed loop feedback and the closed loop sounds a lot like my FM711 where the open loop is just another world of clarity, tone, timbre and low level details and spacial ques that are wiped out by SS designs.  I have them heatsinked especially since my 2 main speakers, Apogee Divas and Thiel CS5i's are mean speakers to drive.  The GaN amps are the future of amplification, trust me, you will be seeing a lot more of these amps.   They remind me of super powerful VT25 amps for medium to low efficiency speakers.

There you have it, thanks for posting that up

This says it all, the two that are trying their hardest to discredit this GaN by GaN Class-D have only their own interests in mind, and should look after their own interest and stop putting rubbish on things for their own monitory gains.

This is great news, can you please keep me (by PM) and others here updated on this?

Wow!! that is really saying something as this is no slouch of an amp to be compared to.

Whose trying to discredit it? You can't find any of my comments attempting to do that. You can find a number of them that are corrections of misinformation though.

You and your mate ricevs have been called out to be wrong now go away., please

Who is trying to discredit this amp? Its not me; you can't find a post on this thread wherein I am doing that. I have pointed out that its likely to have heat issues, but that does not take anything away from a product meant for evaluation.
Again:

It would help if more information was available. One thing seems apparent: While it might make 200 watts into 8 ohms it will not be able to do that for any length of time as there appears to be no provision for a heatsink (although it may be possible to heatsink it). Without a heatsink at 200 watts the output devices will simply overheat and fail- probably within a few seconds but maybe a minute or two.


IOW this kit really is for evaluation and for that I'm sure its just fine.

Note Amirm's comment 'different target for it'; clearly he is aware and understands the significance of this product being meant for evaluation):

The eval unit unfortunately doesn’t show the improved performance due to different target for it. So best to look at commercial implementations that shoot for state of the art implementations.

He seems to agree with me on this.
