SMSL PA200 GaN stereo amplifier first look!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remote beer tap control :D https://paypal.me/hfzytreviews Behind the scenes photos:   / hifi_zone_yt   --------------------------------------------------------------------- I've told you that I am going to get that one right after I reviewed PL200T CD transport. Two reasons for that: 1. PL200T is truly excellent 2. I was curious for what GaN brings to the table for some time now - and I can run it in mono power amp mode too. So I got that one as its matching PL200T and I like this look and its also pretty new thing on the market. I got that one during "Summer sale" (that was actually more like spring sale) here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ooQ... I chose that one as the declared shipping time was short and it was also free. Sale price+sale discount codes = waaay lower price than from local distributor, so I'm adding a set of codes here too. Its going through the burn in now, stay tuned for full review! -------------------------- Audio setup used in testing (you can find reviews of most of these in my channel): FLAC/DSD files - Foobar2k - Fully passive 11th gen Intel PCwih LPS - SMSL PL200T - X26III - fk Dragon XLR - 2x851W - fk Dragon Full Range - Dali ikon 1 mk2, Dali Opticon 1, Oatlons (big and small) ML 15i, ML 35Xti, ML XT B100, ML Ascent I speakers. Power: two Pavalle power strips with additional DIY EMI filters, power cords: fk AQ Dragons Source (DACs) fk AQ Dragon HC (amplifiers) and RCore LPSes with Sonic Scientific Hades for HTPC, Su-6 and OCXO power supply. More links for that gear can be found in my reviews. ------------------------- Summer sale is gone, codes are no longer widely available, I've scraped a cable code set, but this is valid only for the cables in the collection available here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Evt... I picked them from the cables I bought and use myself, and I can recommend them as excellent choices. Codes for the cables in the set above: $3 off $29:【IFPHFPJV】 $6 off $59:【IFPJN3OV】 $9 off $89:【IFPXO7S3】 $16 off $149:【IFPXASSM】 $23 off $199:【IFPS136U】 $30 off $269:【IFPCWQMV】 $40 off $369:【IFPWNHZK】 $50 off $469:【IFP9B9OR】 $60 off $599:【IFPXSDRD】 $70 off $699:【IFPRL3NO】 All earlier sets are gone, this ones will be valid until 1st of July for most countries. Grab them while they are here, as there are some big changes coming and this may be the last set I will have access to. There is also another generic set for US only, these should be valid until 2026-06 (but may already be dead, I have no way to check that): $39-5: 【ZONE】 $89-10: 【ZONE10】 $149-25: 【ZONE25】 $259-45: 【ZONE45】 $349-60: 【ZONE60】 $459-70: 【ZONE70】 $599-120: 【ZONE120】 All of them will be no longer valid with the 1stof July and I will probably remove that section from my videos. -------------------------
