Up to date list of GaN Class D Amplifiers?


I’ve not heard one yet, but looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Does anyone have a list of Amplifiers currently on the market using this Gallium Nitride (GaN) semi conductor?

Anyone heard one?
Is it really a game changer?
Is GaN likely to reach the mass market?


Thanks

Thanks @twoleftears 

 

Have you heard that amp?   Is it any good?

 

I’m in UK.   There’s a Hifi show coming up later this month.   Hoping to hear some GaN amps there.

A/AB

DONT make the mistake. Sure they work, play loud, but there is no soul, or goosebumps. Every time I warm up my amp, I get goosebumps and hair stands up on arms, and my head gets tingly. 
 

 Never had that with anything other than A or AB amps. 
make sure to demo them in your house if possible. 
 

 Even Carvers Sunfire at class H smokes many of this so called class D miracle audio.   The Devialet was a joke when I brought my Sunfire 600 to my audio shoppe. The Thor? Is it? Monos, played loud yes, didn’t get hot, the sound, tone, midrange was just sloppy with no heart while playing the CDs I brought in to play. I was very interested, as the weight, etc, would have been a huge plus for my wrinkly  old arse. Used a very good pre, source and speakers as I remember, but it just was flat, no,emotion, no goosebumps, no double take when songs were played.

 

 I’m sure your experience was better,as your ready to reach for the checkbook.

 

make sure you listen a lot before dumping a ton of cash on class D.

 

cheers

@tweak1 sorry, missed your post.

 

That LSA looks to be US only.  I’ve got no chance to hear it here in UK.
