Grace Design m900 vs Lake People G111 Mk II

Both are desktop amplifiers, $660 against $629. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?

On raw power they are level: each reaches 100 dB on 567 of the 567 non-electrostatic models here.

A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.

The headphones that tell them apart

On power they are interchangeable across this whole database: there is no headphone here that one reaches 100 dB on and the other does not.

55 headphones stay below the audible-hiss threshold on the Grace Design m900 but cross it on the Lake People G111 Mk II (64 Audio Aspire 1, 64 Audio Ocean, 64 Audio Volur, 52 more).

567 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.
