@ricevs.......I'll also go for your GaN 400 mod.....How do we do this.
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
There have been a number of threads discussing the wonder of GaN and some of the individual amplifiers that have caught peoples attention, including those from AGD, Atma-Sphere, Peachtree, LSA, etc. Has anyone done a shootout against two or more GaN amps? If so, which did you prefer, and why? And on what speakers?
Also, of the one you preferred, do you prefer it over every other amplifier you’ve ever heard? If not, what non-GaN amp do you enjoy more?

@mc1969 Clearly you don't understand what putting quotes around a word means. The Technics is a GaN FET amp as opposed to so much in this thread which is not. |
So far nobody has produced any concrete evidence that any product discussed is the best. Just more this one sounds good or better to me judgements, which are fine but everyone has an opinion. In that case it just boils down to who do you trust most to help make a decision and then what products do you decide to try based on recommendation. I’m with @atmasphere in that my experience tells me I can typically correlate good measurements with resulting sound to a useful extent. It’s never a 100% guarantee but I find it good enough to help me make better informed buying decisions. Of course in the end one cannot know what any one component is capable of until it is heard doing it in a particular system. Even then the resulting sound is always a team sport among the gear in play, the room, annd even the ears listening and some teams will perform better than others even if perhaps a superstar or two are in the game.
