LS60 has a combination of class D and class AB amps inside. I truly believe that the implementation of different technologies is definitely more important than making blanket statements that one technology is always better than another. In my system, I have used all current available technologies and they each have their own advantages.
Hifi Rose RA180
Anyone outside the US have a chance to check this out? Looking for a GaN based integrated. After seeing all the hype/opinions surrounding LSA, AGD, Peachtree, Technics, etc.
I wonder where this would stack rank....guessing $5K if it ever makes it to the states. I believe the Rose link is translated below.

I have been using the RA180 again and today I decided to add a powered sub to the “subwoofer “ output and to my horror, this is a FIXED LEVEL OUTPUT!!! I tested it three times to be absolutely sure, but I was correct. At volume zero, the sub output turns off, but at ANY other volume, the sub output is fixed. why on Earth would they do that? I have never seen another amp set up like this. Be advised, if you are planning to buy the RA180 and use a subwoofer, DON’T DO IT. Unless of course, you use a REL with speaker level inputs. Anyone else noticed this? This could be a deal breaker for a lot of systems. |
Apparently that “sub out” wasn’t tested in the prototype and pre production samples. Some issues that a small new company has I can forgive or overlook but that is a serious omission. That would be a total deal breaker for me. Thanks for mentioning it, you just saved a lot of subwoofers, frustration, and buyer’s remorse |
Thanks @testrun ! |
