What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?

This is a comment that I often see made by people that purport SETs. We might have a difference of opinion here; mine is that the equipment should not add or subtract WRT to the beauty of the recording. In this way, the more neutral you can get the equipment to be, the more it can bring out nuance in the recording without editorial.

I do not think we have a difference in opinion regarding the type of gear we prefer. My goal has been to go to neutral and let the source dictate. My Livingroom system is Benchmark LA4 preamp and DAC3B into a CODA #16. Only the CODA is really not super neutral. It is slightly warm. I wanted power for that system and the #16 delivers. The LA4 is a beauty to my ears, it adds the least of any preamp I have heard.

My office system is also geared towards neutral with a Holo Serene preamp (very similar to the LA4), Schitt Yggi+ LM DAC and now what I feel is a neutral sounding GAN400.

The even more neutral Benchmark AHB2 sounds better to me than the GAN400 but the GAN400 is a much better amp for the LRS+. In fact, the AHB2 is my fav amp but it is not guaranteed to drive everything.

BTW - Sinead has such a beautiful voice that even on a transistor radio I would get goosebumps listening to her.

Neutral is good for details and realism...

My Sansui Au 7700 so good it was , sounded less neutral than my Sansui alpha , it was not so less sensible in my speakers/room , but with headphone i even change my french TDA 1543 Dac NOS which was more than good , for a more neutral Hidizs dac and the Sansui more neutral amplifier , because my headphone asked for  the highest possible cleanliness and neutrality... They are way more refined than my speakers were so good they were in my room ..

Then ideally we need neutrality as an end goal...

I have not had a Class D amp that bettered my best Class A or even AB amp yet. I have kept it under $3K for the various Class D amps I have tried.

That is interesting. I wonder how the AGD or the Atmasphere amps compare to some Class AB amps that are highly rated in the <$10k range. But I have also read reviews, where owners were happy with the GaN amps and had no remorse replacing the AB. Of course, everyone's experience is different.

If someone posts here on or some other thread I read and I feel that information is not "experienced truth" then I will make sure I post my experienced truth so people can decide for themselves (with listening tests).what is actually true.  The more something gets posted the more people will think it is true.  Because someone has a good rep or says something a thousand times does not make it true.  I hope you ALL will stand up and be counted.  Every TRUTH needs to be heard.  Every one of you is valuable....is beautiful.  Do not let me or anyone dominate a discussion....without telling your truth......And, hopefully, your truth is not a philosophy or opinion based on non experience.......but a TRUTH based on critical open minded listening tests......the only real TRUTH in audio.

In life, the big truth is that we are all magnificent.....beyond our imagination.....we are infinite beauty, love and joy.....it has always been so and always will be so.  Is that my philosophy or my experience?  Both.  Blessings to all!
