@markmuse If you are inclined to go with tubes give the Schitt Freya+ a 15 day home trial. Only thing you have to lose is having more money in your wallet. It is a very quiet tube preamp.
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
Peachtree 400 and LSA Voyager GaN amps: Does anyone have direct experience with both of these amps? Can you comment on any differences that might exist in sound? I know the internals are supposed to be the same but even if that is true implementation can make a difference. Both are highly regarded by those who own them.
Might also be helpful if you listed the rest of your system (Pre and speakers).
My current system is: Bricasti M3 DAC; Rogue RP-7 (NOS) pre; Bel Canto Ref600M amps; Fyne F1-8 speakers.
Thanks in advance!

During your listening test, in addition to your analytical listening did you also do what I like to call musical listening… no analysis, just close your eyes and see which amp is the most musically and emotionally compelling… and with no fatigue from an hour or two of listening
Its hard to turn off the brain and do this but at the end of the day it’s not the minute detailed differences in the amps that matter, it’s what makes you want to listen rather than do something else. |
@markmuse why change preamps? Just install a complete new set of tubes and you should be set for years. Unless you want to do major tube rolling. You decided on your amp by using the current preamp. Changing it will be like a start over and a lot more work. Looking forward to more amp reports. Thanks, aldnorab |
