I have the Mini GaN 5 if you want I can pop the cover and post a pick. If you want @twoleftears.
LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier
Just got mine last week. After 24 hours of play all I can say is that this is not your father's class D amplifier. There is not one thing about its sound that reminds me of the class D gremlins that I do not like. The low end filled in and now has deep impact, the midrange is the love child of a beautiful tube and clean hybrid amp - just gorgeous. Highs are very clean and extended. Spatial cues are top notch. My system has had some damn good tube and solid state amps in it before and it has never sounded this good. I am blown away with the quality of sound coming from class D amplification at this price point.
This 300 wpc amplifier is a real winner.....

@jerryg123 I am also very interested in hearing and learning more about the miniGan. Seems like a winner for the asking price. I'm expecting many more like it in the near future. |
That is the key @mapman at the asking price. I enjoy it but not as much as the 501, but is better than my Orchard MB. |
I run BEl Canto ref1000m amps in my setup for a number of years now. THey’ve been pretty much the bees knees of amplifiers for me to-date. Also a BC c5i which is lower power but newer Class D Icepower board I think. THe two sound much different. I attribute at least some of that to the ARC tube pre-amp I run with the ref1000ms versus C5i all digital integrated amp. Also c5i has SPL limits whereas ref1000ms never break a sweat. See system pics. I am a big Bel Canto fan for great sound in a compact package and always looking for what they come up with next. |
