| Peachtree Gan 400 @yyzsantabarbara I like the orchard audio monoblocks with both a Schiit Freya+ with some NOS brimar 6sn7 tubes and also the benchmark LA4 preamp. | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 @classdstreamer i also have experience with one more class D amp but it’s pretty expensive. Java hifi single shot integrated. Rumor is that they use AGD modules for power and have a LDR preamp module which sounds amazing. In any case, my audions l... | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 @audioman58 I owned the AGD audion and ran with benchmark LA4 preamp for two years. Never needed anything more then I got to hear the orchard audio starkrimsom monoblocks and I sold my AGD immediately. Just saying AGD I don't think may be he best ... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier I believe a leben CS300X is right up your alley and man does it sound great. I can also heartfully recommend an air tight ATM1 used. Both the amps can be had in your budget and sound glorious. The only downside is that they don't have preout for ... | |
| LAIV Harmony https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2700495 @danager I beg to differ. I run the benchmark LA4 preamp with the $1500 orchard audio starkrimsom monoblocks and love the combo. It drives my B&W 805 D3 speakers. The benchmark is a kickass preamp and... | |
| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range Please also look at the Hegel V10 | |
| Magnepan 3.7i amp pairing You haven't mentioned your budget but I have found the Cary Audio SLI 100 to be a fantastic combo with the Magnepans. | |
| What are your thoughts/opinions on the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium Kennyc, Possibly but it's not just power. The SQ and the details in the midrange and high frequency were enough for me to settle with the starkrimsom. They also did a great job with the magnepans and b&w 802/805 that we tested with. In a s... | |
| What are your thoughts/opinions on the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium @maverick2108 Wow, that’s very interesting especially given the significant price difference. Can you go into more detail as to what specifically the Orchard did better than the AGD? The AGD was my reference for >18 months and drove all th... | |
| What are your thoughts/opinions on the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium I recently acquired the starkrimsom monoblocks V1 with upgraded 300w power supply used. I had the AGD Audions V2 in my system as reference. The orchard audio made me sell the AGD audions. I did a shootout between these amps on a number I speakers ... | |
| My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s I really enjoyed the review for all the info and analysis. I actually have owned the Audions for about 1 years now and have gotten the upgrade tubes as well. The claims are true and the change in the faux tubes do change the sound signature very m... | |
