Title: Orchard Audio to Exhibit at the 2023 Florida International Audio Expo
Post by: orchardaudio on January 16, 2023, 10:06:27 AM
I am proud to announce that the company will exhibit at the Florida International Audio Expo (FAE), on February 17-19, 2023, in Tampa, Florida.

Orchard Audio’s exhibit will feature the following award-winning products:
Starkrimson® Stereo Ultra: 500W gallium nitride (GaN) stereo audio power amplifier
Starkrimson® Mono: 150W GaN monoblock audio power amplifier
PecanPi® Streamer: Networked audio player (transport) with built-in DAC and headphone amplifier

Starkrimson amps are fully analog, state-of-the-art GaN audio power amplifiers developed to provide the listener with a truly life-like musical experience, presented with every significant detail intact. GaN technology benefits include less harshness, cleaner highs, better transparency, and higher detail. In addition to using GaN transistors, Starkrimson amps use Orchard Audio’s proprietary dual feedback modulator, keeping the amplifier fully balanced from input to output.

Both amplifiers will use the company’s PecanPi Streamer as the source. The PecanPi Streamer is an ultra-high performance networked music player that combines a streamer, DAC, and headphone amplifier into a single device. The PecanPi DAC brings studio-quality sound to your home. It can be connected to any existing stereo amplifier, preamplifier, or receiver, as well as headphones.

Orchard Audio will exhibit in room 506.

Speakers will be supplied by Soundfield Audio (https://www.soundfieldaudio.net).
Cables will be provided by Triode Wire Labs (https://www.triodewirelabs.com/).

Cool combo
Have you guys tested the combination of Pete's cables and Leo' amps already? If yes, we should assume good synergy.

Hey Leo

What about a Starkrimson integrated stereo amp with remote with no Dac or streamer for under $3K?

Not in the market now but if I was......


I see quite a few integrated amps with built in DACS. Never thought there would be a market for that but I guess I'm wrong :D

Yes DAC and Streamer are both built-in and you can use your phone/tablet as a remote control.

Here is what Jay's iyagi had to say about our room Florida Audio Expo:
"Really good dynamics, really good neutral and smooth sound to it", "Good depth and sound-staging", and "Everything was fluid, liquid, and overall flew really very well in this room"

Glad people are finally noticing the sound quality of Leo's GaN amps!  :thumb:

Will be taking my Starkrimson monoblocks to Lone Star Audio Fest in Dallas, TX in June.  The new DSP crossover should be done by then!  :D

Have had the Starkrimson Ultra via tour for about a week. A very good and fun amp to listen to.
