New Class D amplifiers
@erictal4075 See Bruno Putzey’s comments regarding GaN devices usage here:   As for better performing amps, see the new Hypex NCx, nilai500 and the Purifi amp modules. GaN is the flavor of the day. Most of the amps using it are leaning ...

Go Tube pre with a good class D GANFET amp and you’ll love what comes out.     If you like tubes. If you prefer to preserve the integrity of the input signal, I would avoid introducing tubes into the signal chain.

This Seoul, South Korea-based company claims that it is using a new variety of solid-state transistors, gallium nitride (GaN) FET transistors in place of the standard silicon ones, which for technical reasons are claimed to greatly improve the so...

Orchard's class d ganfet amp is the real deal- read the review in audio express. It uses post filter feedback and has a frequency response that is load invariant, meaning it doesn't change character with a speaker's varying impedance. Most well de...

Clearly there are indeed people here who care about real engineering, science, and facts. Sorry @donnylovely if the truth hurts.

go crazy like me Crazy being the operative word.

No real consensus, which should be no surprise:

ALL PARTS HAVE A SOUND Shouting doesn't make something true. No, all parts do not have a "sound". They have electric characteristics like resistance, capacitance, inductance. They have no sound or we wouldn't need speakers, would we? Electric...

So please show us your many measurement tests followed by listening tests that prove your statement.....Lots of people say things here....very few back them up.   Kettle, meet pot.   My proof of what I say is in what people say about THE S...

@tweak1    the thread could return to its' intended purpose What's that exactly? To discuss the Peachtree GaN amp or to be spammed by a snake oil salesman?

Baffle them with BS, a common disinformation technique used by those with nothing of substance to use in their support to deflect and obfuscate. Over and over, when challenged, we get the same guru double speak. Boring.

All I need to know is in the design. Science doesn't care about opinions. It's normal to think what you buy is great. Doesn't make it true. It's called confirmation bias. I find independent, non-biased opinions much more useful and truthful.

In almost any class D circuit, the specs of the resistors, caps and inductors have to be examined to make sure they will work in the circuit. Rather ironic isn't it that amplifiers are designed using components that are chosen on their specs ye...

Having a measurable effect is not the same as having an audible effect, much less an audible effect that is universally agreed to as being positive.

@arafiq Exactly. Many of these "tweaks" have been shot down by amp designers as more likely to degrade performance rather than offer any concrete improvements. Others have been called outright hazardous from a safety standpoint. None have any ba...
