SET the best?
The LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp is smoother than any SS Ive owned, the lone, very distant, exception being my Kinergetics KBA 75 which was 75 wpc pure class A..And a mere $3000, with trades allowed. Sounds much cleaner overriding the soft rubber foote... 
How long does Class A have?
I am in possession of the new LSA Voyager GaN amp. Minor tweaks include removing the top cover (the chassis is prone to vibration) and using Nobsound like spring footers which helped tremendously with speed and clarity vs the OEM soft rubber which...

Help with a Passive Preamp
I have lusted after the TOL XLR Tortuga except that requires a separate dac and the associated ancillaries= $$$$$. I am quite happy with my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 DAC/PRE+ PS 5, both can be found for ~ $1200 usedI had/loved a Hattor dual mono passiv...

Deciding if I like Class D.
@knowitall Is it worth it, or what is your current class D amp worth on the used market? If it has value you can live with selling it for, I can highly recommend the LSA Voyager 350 (GaN amp). It's much more authoritative than my EVS 1200 based on...

Based on all my other posts, you might not think I listen to classical, but I do, especially now that I have an amp that can unravel it all. This was glorious last nightProkofiev Romeo & JulietDeutche Grammaphone 4DRoyal Concertgebouw Orchestr... 
Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
One of my supreme torture CDs is Annie Lennox Medusa. My jaw dropped as I played it all the way through. The V has unraveled all that was wrong with all the class D amps I've owned, including the EVS 1200, which I suspect is the Switching SpeedAlt...
