What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?

@nickintroy Which one did you try, Rev 1.0 or Rev 2.0? Did you have one with an upgraded power supply? In what ways is the Hegel better?

Earlier in this thread I mentioned I was impressed with the Cambridge EDGE A. There has been more than one review where it compares that amp to a Hegel H590 which is $12K or so, and it seems the Cambridge outperforms the Hegel. If you’re saying an even lower tiered Hegel beats the Starkrimson, that’s eye-opening and makes me want to drop it from my consideration set. 

I found @nickintroy’s evaluation surprising as I have a number of customers that replaced their H390s with the Ultras.

@blisshifi
The configuration that he used was a V2 with a single power supply and upgraded capacitance ($3050 MSRP)

Thanks @orchardaudio. I submitted an inquiry through your contact form yesterday, FYI. 

@blisshifi I send you a PM.

If we're talking THE BEST, regardless of price...Aavik and T+A.

@mbmi What is the sound of these 2 that make it the best. I only know the T+A HV amps (and stack). Slightly warm sound but my ears like my CODA #16 more. I would assume the T+A Class D Purifi based amp is not at the same level as the T+A HV amps.

I never heard the AAVIK.
