Thank you at GSP for the quick delivery of a GA2C from UK through SimplyAudio/Netherlands to me
I am one of the older members here, but with very little write ups in the last few years , sorry Between 2006 and 2011 I already used a pre-RoHS EraGoldV/PSU1, an early GoldReflex/PSU1 and a post-RoHS EraGoldV. Very fine results in those days; but when I moved address, I went for a lesser boxcount (amps: 3x Cyrus + 2x GSP) From than on I used MMboards in integrated amps like LFD Zero mkIII and now in my Exposure XXXV My Exposure amp needs a repair/cleanup of the source selector, so I decided to buy a 'backup' phonoamp. That's why I now have your cheapest GA2C/basicPS playing in the background through the Exposure XXXV/line input The plan was to switch my old PSU1 (now on a not-much-used Solo SRGII) with the basicPS and so I did this afternoon, after a few hours listening to GA2C/basicPS And WOW..., with the PSU1 I already feel that it sounds very good: clear, detailed, 3D, space around instruments So probably the 'backup' will become the main phonoamp; really had not expected that good result ! And Oh yes...., I also didn't expect the very small dimensions of the GA2C

….now a year later...
With pleasure I still use my GramAmp2 Communicator with an older PSU1 (no separate DC cable) And I can really recommend this, although not common to use with a PSU1 Could also be that it's a very good match with the Nagaoka MP110... In the meantime I have also had the ReflexMM in my system for a few weeks (on loan) The sound quality was better with the Reflex (bigger picture, better 3-D, smooth but detailed etc) but... ...overall I still like the "fast" GA2C with PSU1 setup in my audio system, so for the time being no plans for a different GSP amp… So please don't underestimate the sound of the "Communicator" Edited by Cyreg - 24 Apr 2019 at 11:56am |
