Np Pete. You told me last week

Well, the good news is the Class D Gen 5 Gan Fet amp arrived today. The bad news is it's a dud. I'm getting static and the red warning led are blinking. When there is no static, it sounds pretty good out of the box. Waiting to hear back from Class D.

Good news is the Orchard Audio Gan Fet will be here tomorrow!

kind of sucks when you're trying to plan a great day for some peeps.

They are sending a new one. Let's see how good their customer service is I asked them if they can ship it overnight as a courtesy

They should also ship overnight and pick up the defective unit to help avoid embarrassment, in addition to courtesy.

They didnt ship it overnight. Tracking shows Monday delivery. Lets hope the Orchard survives

Unfortunate that the Class-D arrived defective.  Was looking forward to listening to both Orchid and Class-D.

I was searching tg Agon forums last night and maybe a year or 2 ago Emil posted he bought one then a few weeks later it died. Class D was saying this never happened before

You got it. I will tell you after getting through the aggravation of maybe not getting it in time and a few other things I am listening right now, and I will say if this is what Class A sounds like I want more. After all this is what Gan Fet is, the digital version of Class A designs. I wish I had a Class A amp to compare. Maybe I can get Jbtrio to bring his SIT 3 tomorrow. By the way build quality is high school grade. He needs to up his game on the case. Just basically a fancy project box as well as a dedicated shipping box and packing. I understand this amp has clocked many miles around the country but come on. I unpacked it and had a rattle, took off the top and there was a screw rolling around. Tossed that bad boy.

Well, excellent sound is first on my list, but good quality build sure is important. I’m sympathetic to manufacturers trying to keep costs down, but I’m one of those guys who’s willing to pay more for a sold case and aesthetics. Can that be done for another $200-250 on this unit that I’d be willing to pay, I have no idea.

Well at a starting price of 2499.00 I would think it could be squeezed in. I know when Tommy started with the cherry amps and he was bringing them to our raves the build was probably not like they are now. The Mini Gan 5 is rock solid build quality. Have it playing now but not really paying attention. Orchard Audio is in NJ, so I don't know what they are drinking next door, but it seems like they are becoming the Digital Amp capital of the country. We have Tommy O'brien may he rest in peace, Merrill from Merrill Audio and now Leo at Orchard. Hmm... makes you wonder "Orchard" Audio and "Cherry" Amplifiers. Maybe they were classmates or something. I'm just kidding
