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

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

I was over at my stereo buddy's place last night listening to his new Peachtree GaN400 amp with his Buchardt speakers. There was nothing about that amp that reminded me of the dry and thinner sounding class d amps of times gone by. Granted I only spent a few hours listening but it's a very nice amp, class d or not.

The ONLY "Class D" Amplifier I'd recommend.

@rajugsw and you have listened to all of them?

LSA Voyger, Peachtree, New Bel Canto ref501S oops not out yet. AGD, GaN Mini, Think not.
