Welll, everyone knows class A sucks. A/B is the only real audiophile amplifier and everything else is just someone’s take on a car stereo sound from their childhood.
Questions re: GaNfet technology vs other designs.
How do the newer GaNfet technology amps compare to the HYPEX NC400, HYPEX NC500, HYPEX 1200 and PURIF Audio designed amps in terms of sound quality? And also how do these GaNfet technology based amps compare to class A and class A/B amps for sound quality?
It seems several companies are offering GaNfet Amps. For example, please the Orchard Audio Starkrimson 150w gan amplifier and the Atma-sphere Class D power amplifier (and several others).
GaNfet is claimed to provide excellent sound quality. Several class D mono blocks offer great sound as various reviewers have reported. I noticed there are several GaNfet technologies power amps available but not many integrated amps. I wonder why.
Maybe the better question is GaNfet Amps really for prime time? Your comments on GaNfet Amps are requested. thanks....

I can't speak for the other makes but my Technics SU-G700M2 sounds wonderful most of the time. Sounds even better going directly in via Coax vs the line outs as it's a completely digital design (not just the power section). That really surprised me as it wasn't that way when I first got it. Guess it had to break in some. It doesn't sound like anything else I've had and it's the most balanced sounding as well. Nothing sticks out at the expense of anything else. Incredible see-through ability, revealing but not distracting. Incredibly harmonious. All the best, |
@hgeifman For me, class A with high efficiency speakers is the ticket to audio nirvana :-) |
