Why is the new GS-X outperforming the old with upgraded amp modules?

 
because the power supply voltages have increased more than 20% in the new GS-X.  the older GS-X would not support these higher voltages 

 

[justin w.]

this is the antique i use to measure the power output
 
it reads 2.2 watts with a 30 ohm load (single ended output) -- new GS-X w/ new modules

They will love that 'antique' over at Audiokarma - Skylab will probably want to buy one.

"Dynalo+" is a poor choice.
 
GS-2 or GS-X2 or  anything else..... please. 

 
Hang on - which one of you is building this amp ? If Justin builds it, I think he gets to name the thing ..... assuming Kevin has no objections to that naming standard.

Are you going to offer the Alps RK50 as an upgrade on the new GS-X?

gotta go with the jets and giants, of course! 

but regardless of team preferences, your previous avatar had more visual interest.

Some user named DigitaFreak said he had it first.  I never saw him until he pop up out of nowhere and politely asked that I change it

I've gotten both of your posts mixed up before. I think you should change it back and go say hello here

How about this one.
 
We better stop derailing this thread before we get fussed at.

back on track - the GS-1 is a fine amp. my variant of it, the v2se, has been a wonderful device over the years.

How long before the amp modules for GS-1 are ready for order?

the longest lead time parts (the transistors) are scheduled to come in end of September, and then assembly of the PCBs will take a couple weeks.  I will need to start taking orders in advance of this because I have no idea how many existing GS-1/GS-X owners will want new modules, I only know how many I need to build for upcoming new GS-X amps.
