How long does Class A have?
I am in possession of the new LSA Voyager GaN amp. Minor tweaks include removing the top cover (the chassis is prone to vibration) and using Nobsound like spring footers which helped tremendously with speed and clarity vs the OEM soft rubber which...

Is the Peachtree the new GaN based?  
Help with a Passive Preamp
I have lusted after the TOL XLR Tortuga except that requires a separate dac and the associated ancillaries= $$$$$. I am quite happy with my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 DAC/PRE+ PS 5, both can be found for ~ $1200 usedI had/loved a Hattor dual mono passiv...

Is bass the most important frequency band?
IME with both 'full range' speakers and sat/sub systems is that when the manufacturer voices the bass in their full range speakers it is done in their room with their equipment, which may not do well in your room. Separate powered subs can be the ... 
New Technics SU-G700 Mk II on the horizon
Is the II a balanced amp, and if so, why no mention of XLR inputs? 
Analog is obsolete pure digital not class D ...
The Technics is based on the GaN amplifier module, which to my ears IS a big deal. There are several GaN threads (including my own) which might help youhth 
Deciding if I like Class D.
@knowitall Is it worth it, or what is your current class D amp worth on the used market? If it has value you can live with selling it for, I can highly recommend the LSA Voyager 350 (GaN amp). It's much more authoritative than my EVS 1200 based on...

Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
One of my supreme torture CDs is Annie Lennox Medusa. My jaw dropped as I played it all the way through. The V has unraveled all that was wrong with all the class D amps I've owned, including the EVS 1200, which I suspect is the Switching SpeedAlt... 
McIntosh Tube vs SS w/ Sonus Faber Aida II
It is not imperative that the best sound only comes from mixing SS and tube. I am using a Audio Alchemy DDP-1 (dac/pre) with PS 5 outboard PS, and the new David on the block, a LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp. If your cables are good, it will impress as g...

Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
I tried tp replace the springs with Maple shade triple points and Herbies thingies. The chassis rings like a bell. What are you using to stop it?   I was not able to replace the springs as it’s a 2 person job, but went from 4 springs to 3 whic...
