Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite?

The time has come to put to the people a listening test of some of the better

current "Contenders" in the race for Best Class D GaNFET Sound.

 

The existing media can not manage such an undertaking for many reasons.

This event will help consumers decide which products best meet their needs.

 

I have not heard all the players but will suggest these names for inclusion in this comparison.

 

1. Mola Mola 

2. Atmasphere 

3. AGD

4. Bel Canto

5. NAD

6. ?

7. ?

8. ?

 

Finale Aavik vs winner of above 

 

Event will be held either in Seattle or the Bay Area.

 

We can support about three more brands in this comparison.  

It will be setup as an A/B audience listening event

comparison starting with the two lowest MSRP products.

 

 

After the seven A/B comparisons one amp would emerge as the audience favorite.

This winner would then go head to head with the Aavik in the 8th round.

 

I will plan this for a July-August 2023 event open to the public.

 

I now open this to further discussion, ideas and suggestions for the last three slots.

Why only GaN @jeffseight ​​​​​​?   It is just out of curiosity?

Racer,

I do have some of the items on your list.

But with your knowledge and assistance

the event will be fun and provide Class D guidance

for those who tweak and those who do not.

This will be a 4-5 hour event.

 

Dude,

Revised to be Class D . Gan or No Gan.

@jeffseight Thanks for taking the lead on this.  I'm in full support and would love to assist in the Bay Area.  

I'm thinking I could help secure a good spot in the North Bay...:)

@ricevs Please stop with all your irrelevant conditions.   At some point, you need to step in the batter's box or line up to the free throw line.  Can't pass on your next golf shot...

All this gear isn't dependent upon humidity, atmospheric conditions, red pill/blue pill, mattress tags, Mars orientation....

We all have an opinion. I gave mine and you seem upset about it. When we resist the love that is in the now......we do not feel it. I meant no harm nor did I suggest that no one do what was suggested. I have exerienced most all the things I talked about and TO ME they are all relevant. What you believe is what you believe. There is no right or wrong here......just a sharing of truth.....our truth is our love....for each other.  I would never tell you to stop sharing your truth.  YOU are necessary....your truth is necessary......it is all of us.....no one is better or worse.....we are all needed to make the whole.  The universe would not be the same without YOU.......every YOU that exists.

Technics needs to be in the mix.  I believe they were the first to offer GaN in the USA.
