Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!

I heard the  Simaudio 860 V2 and 761 on the Paradigm Persona 5F and 9H and thought the 761 was easily better. The 761 is also cheaper.

I bought a pre production pair of GanFet monoblocks and I am very impressed 

I have to send it back for the product power supply is even better ,they don’t use LPS ,or torroid  the designer of the gain Fet - brainiac helped in design 

the owner Tom designs his own modules .IHave owned Coda ,Parasound JC,   Pass labs  and others. Class D Audio   For under $2k to compete with amps many times the cost is a steal and has 4GanFets per mono block  and smaller form factor but stuffer with top quality parts and made in  USA .

I tried a friends orchard audio very detailed and clean but too neutral  for my taste

after I get the for the production version I will. State just how good it is .

Here is a current review on their entry level stereo amp,GanFet amp my mono blocks are substantially better then that ,I almost overlooked it because I am used to 80 pound monsters ,Maybe times are changing !

you should look into the SIM audio north collection the 761 and the 861 amplifiers I heard the 761 and its phenomenal not cheap but well worth it.

Ime, the higher you go up in price doesn't necessarily guarantee that you could experience the above mentioned. It seems to come down to the nitty gritty of the circuits under consideration, i.e., the black art of power delivery and analog circuit design.

@deep_333 High end audio, like many high end products, is driven by intention rather than cost. So you can run into less expensive gear that easily seems to outperform equipment that cost several times more. This can happen because the less expensive gear is built to a price formula rather than what the market will bear.

There are now class D amps  that are exactly that- smooth, detailed and involving- that can easily outperform (and sound better than) amps that cost quite a lot more. Of course, not all class D amps sound the same just as not all class A amps sound the same so you should not be dissuaded if the particular class D amp you encountered didn't seem to bring home the bacon.
