Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?

"Anything anybody does with tubes is simply slow and very colored"

If that's his conclusion,  so be it  for him. Not even remotely close to my listening experiences. Horses for courses once again. 

+1 @david_ten. I guess we hear similarly 😊.

Nonsense! The output section of our amps is 600V/uV. Most solid state amps aren't that fast.


We've been working on our own class D project for the last 4 years which is now in Beta production. Its nice to be able to say that they don't sound significantly different from our tubes amps although they have considerably less distortion (most of it in the case of either amp is lower ordered harmonics). Put another way tube amps can be quite neutral.

ignorant ridiculous blanket statements don't even deserve a response 👎

and i think nelson pass should summarize 'war and peace'  😆

Yes, I am now an owner and major fan of AGD. I am so impressed with my $8350 Audions that I am considering upgrading to the top line Gran Vivaces. However, I can’t imagine any amp sounding better than my entry level AGD Audions. But that is always the case with upgrading. One thing I now know for sure, I have never heard any amp that competes with the SQ of AGD. Class D truly can sound very good. But AGD amps are based on a patented GAN module developed specifically for Audio. Other GAN amps available use GAN transistors used in radar, lidar, etc. The result is that I now hear a level of transparency that reveals the heart and soul of musicians.
The experience is new, transformative and unlike anything I have ever heard in 50 years.  A “fan boy”? Boy hoody!
