Orchard Audio Starkrimson

[tubess1988]

I bought a set and they sound great for the cost, nice balance, they replaced my Manley Lab 75 with NOS tubes and mods. Every piece of music I play just gets better, old and new. I never knew what I was missing. Only downside is I unknowingly I got the low gain input version, which can be updated to match my Pre-amp. Check them out, I'm keeping mine. Cheers.

So this is a GaN technology amp. I assume you got a pair of the monos. It would certainly be interesting if you could submit one to Amir for testing & measurement.

What power supply did you get? What is your associated equipment, viz. preamp, speakers, etc.?

I am now demoning the Starkrimson amplifier and comparing it to the PT GaN400, Benchmark AHB2, NAD M33 and I can say it is the best of all 4 amps. Its very hard to find any fault with them, maybe the fact that it is an ugly duckling but sonically it is awesome.

I have the Gan 150W monoblocks, they replaced a McCormick DNA-1 and my beloved and modded Manley Lab 75 tube amp, Cheers.

Whatever you say.

ETA: I will say you were dealing with a collection of highly competent amplifiers.

As an owner of the functionally identical NAD C298, I agree completely.
