GaN amplifier from GaN themselves limited supply!!!
That’s right he has cred with OTL tubes that’s a given. Different altogether doing SS linear or D class, no cred there yet, until his long awaited Class-D comes if ever?? So he shouldn’t put rubbish on this GaN by GaN amp before he gets some, otherwise he’ll be no better than his mate ricevs. Cheers George |

Yeah, just throw more bandaid fix feedback at it. (just like the zero auto former you push for the OTL’s into hard loads) It seems there is doubt in your mind that George designed the Lightspeed and in my mind I just assumed he did because I have no evidence to the contrary and to my knowledge no one else has stood up and taken credit for it. The optocouplers which are the main component are off the shelf. The key is that they need to be well matched which I understand takes some work, but perhaps not necessarily skill.@clio09 I included George's quote above because its typical of his false statements regarding the topic he's addressing: the **entire thing** is false. This sort of thing has convinced me that he's good at marketing but someone else actually designed the Lightspeed or provided the basic fundamentals. Here's a DIY article on the topic:https://diyaudioprojects.com/Solid/DIY-Lightspeed-Passive-Attenuator/The circuit simplicity belies what you go through to build it as you can see. If George were able to show that he can disabuse himself of false notions when presented with fact I'd be more likely to believe he did the fundamental design work on he volume control. |
I have built 4 of these to date, the first was for me but as soon al local Las Vegas audiophiles heard it they were begging me to build them one.There is another reference board in the design stages as I have been in direct contact with Rick Reigel from GaN. As far as any tests done my AS, remember the design was built to show off the performance without high loop feedback which is what we want, trust me. The board has the ability to have open loop and closed loop feedback and the closed loop sounds a lot like my FM711 where the open loop is just another world of clarity, tone, timbre and low level details and spacial ques that are wiped out by SS designs. I have them heatsinked especially since my 2 main speakers, Apogee Divas and Thiel CS5i's are mean speakers to drive. The GaN amps are the future of amplification, trust me, you will be seeing a lot more of these amps. They remind me of super powerful VT25 amps for medium to low efficiency speakers. |
dht4me There you have it, thanks for posting that up This says it all, the two that are trying their hardest to discredit this GaN by GaN Class-D have only their own interests in mind, and should look after their own interest and stop putting rubbish on things for their own monitory gains. There is another reference board in the design stages as I have been in direct contact with Rick Reigel from GaN.This is great news, can you please keep me (by PM) and others here updated on this? Wow!! that is really saying something as this is no slouch of an amp to be compared to. https://www.fmacoustics.com/products/resolution-series/fm-711-mkiii/ Cheers George |
