Class D amp recomendations please


Hello everyone,

I am currently running a BDA1 feeding a Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE Stage2, feeding a Musical Design D140I, and some home brew 1st order 4 way speakers that probably drop to about 4 ohms. I greatly enjoy the system but I am getting the bug to try the newer class D designs like GAN or NCore. Please educate me. Thank You

jjss49 is there some trick to buying one from the site? I think I've tried this before and the same result. I TRY to log in creat an account and they won't send the conformation to my email.

Gerorge posted it and I've never seen the conformation in my email.

Nord Acoustics has GAn, Ncore, ICE. I have a few NC500 One Up MBs and one 3 amp enclosure. Never an issue. I have Sonic Imagery and Sparco 2590 OpAmps. Quit a workhorse to tell the truth. They are a good sounding piece of gear.. With larger power supplys (1200s) and Rev D buffer boards.

I have a pair of Wyred4sound SX1000. They have a bit of beaf to them.. Still I like the NC500 better with planars and ribbons. I use them with Neo 8 Monsoon and AC ribbons during the hot summer months.. Then back to tubes in the cooler months..

I want to try GAn too with planars.. 

Regards

@jjss49 I just ordered one of the Mini GaN amps to experiment with.

@oldhvymec I ordered my unit on Thursday using PP and had my confirmation in an hour or so. I never created an account. Site says the will send shipping confirmation in 24 to 72 hours.

 

 

There are several LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp threads here. You might check them out. I have the Voyager for about 6 months now: it crushes

@oldhvymec

as @jerryg123 reported as well, we had no trouble ordering the mini 5 from tom’s wesbite - you can also email him (as i did), he can just send you an invoice to pay

tom is a nice guy, responsive

as for the voyager, i have no experience with it - and the online seller does not have a money back trial in place iirc, so for me personally, i figure i have tom’s mini 5 on the lower end, alberto's agd’s on the higher end in terms of my own positive gan amp experiences... others like the lsa voyager or peachtree gan unit are in the middle cost wise, so no great motivation or rush to try them all, i am good for now
