Lake People G111 Mk II vs Soncoz SGA1

Both are desktop amplifiers, $629 against $600. 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?

The Lake People G111 Mk II reaches 100 dB on 567 of the 567 models here, the Soncoz SGA1 on 566.

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

1 headphone reaches 100 dB on the Lake People G111 Mk II but not on the Soncoz SGA1 — Symphonium Titan.

114 headphones stay below the audible-hiss threshold on the Soncoz SGA1 but cross it on the Lake People G111 Mk II (64 Audio Aspire 1, 64 Audio Fourte, 64 Audio Nio, 111 more).

566 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.
