It's clear that the meaning and implications of load dependent frequency response are over the heads of many here. It's of no use debating with those who don't even understand the issue at hand, yet argue any way. Pure ignorance.
And, lol, no, power at a given impedance is not the same as frequency response at varying impedance. But you do keep proving my point that many here have no understanding of the technical underpinnings of these amps yet argue on and on without a clue what they are arguing. Bravo.
Still waiting for an example of an open loop amp without a load dependent frequency response, or any proof whatsoever that this Peachtree GaN amp is such.
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Before I start my post here is my current system for reference:
Auarlic Aries G1 --> Denafrips Terminator or SW1X DAC --> Audio GD HE1 XLR preamp or Sachs preamp --> various tube amps --> Cube Nenuphar Mini's w/ a pair of REL S510 subs. Cables and power conditioning commensurate with the rest of the system.

As warmer months approach I have been looking for a cool running amp to replace my Line Magnetic LM-518 and other tube amps for a few months as they run pretty hot.
I've been interested in the GaN FET amps and just purchased a used LSA Voyager 350 Gan FET amp which I should receive in a few days. I've tried class D amps before and while they checked a lot of boxes I just didn't feel drawn in. However, I like to explore so I figured I'd try the GanFET and since the amp has zero feedback and my speakers seem to prefer amps with little or no feedback I figured it be worth checking out.
Today, Peachtree Audio sent out an email inviting users to a beta of their new Gan 1 amp. Here are some excerpts from their email:
What is the GaN 1? |
In basic terms it is a 200 Watts-Per-Channel (WPC) Power Amplifier designed to be the sole interface between your digital audio device with a variable output, like a Bluesound NODE, and your speakers. The GaN 1 is a simple, pure and cost-effective audio solution: connect the GaN 1 to a streamer and a pair of speakers and you have an amazing Hi-Fi system. That's it...no DAC, no preamp and no input switching. The signal path from the music to your speakers is remarkably short and free of artifacts. Want to hear the intricate details in your music that have always been there, but you couldn't quite make them all out before? Then the GaN 1 is for you!

@ricevs I will send you my GAN1 amp after I check it out for a week or 2. I am expecting delivery of the GAN1 before the end of this year. You can take your time with it since it will take 3 months from time of order of my speakers to delvery.

@kuribo Pure ignorance would be you complaining about some "issue" that no one cares about and you not even knowing if the gan 1 has the so called issue or not. Pure ignorance, would be judging an amplifier before listening to it. Don’t need to know anything about the technical aspect to enjoy its great sound. I guess you only need to know the technical aspects if you want to be a dick about it and rain on everyone’s parade.
Example, gan 1, where is your proof that it’s load dependent? |
