In Reply to: Who makes GaN FET Amps ? posted by AbeCollins on July 15, 2023 at 09:48:07:
I have owned many class D amps over the last decade+, the only one that stoked my fire was the EVS 1200 (dual mono ICEPower modules one chassis) from the tweaky mind of Ric Schultz. It is really good. Some 10-12 months later PS Audio released the M1200s with tube input at 2+ times the price. Michael Fremer bought the review pair. FF to about 2 years ago now, when the much anticipated LSA Voyager GaN 350 hit the market. I bought one and felt it surpassed the EVS 1200, at least with the series 8 WW cables I was using at that time. The Voyager was smoother sounding, no doubt due to the much faster switching speed.
About 10 months ago I had to reinsert the EVS 1200 due to a mishap with the unplugged Voyager. This time the EVS 1200 sounded significantly more 3D, this after a huge upgrade in cables and PCs. Until I get the Voyager fixed I am very pleased with the EVS 1200. Moral of the story, even HQ cables don't shine in every system, but Gan is also a worthy choice
