LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

Those $10 each op amps are still standard op amps.....he just choose some particular ones for low noise that are more expensive......they are still a bunch of transistors running really low bias and have protection diodes that screw up the sound, etc.  This is way different from using high bias discrete op amps or circuits........really great discrete op amps/circuits just plain sound mucho better than even the expensive chip op amps.  Some of the other things you describe are not stock....you are building a one off thing.  No one can buy what you are building.  Sonicaps are good but not great.  Way better caps out there.....including my modded Wima caps.  There is always more......much more.  We have only just begun.  

Even though the Voyager/Peachtree has $1 op amps in it....it has been tweaked by many people for great sound over a couple of years......this module is really good.  I am sure the StarKrimson modules are good too.  No doubt we will have a shoot out between a stock Orchard and a stock or modded LSA/Peachtree some day.   By the way, I can mod the Orchard amps, as well. 

Ricevs, Have you had an opportunity to listen to the Voyager?
Like to hear your take.

cascadesphil,
On this weekend, maybe you will have a chance to tell us how the Voyager compares to the EVS 1200.

I’d love to hear that comparison also, cascadesphil.

All my listening observations to date (I believe it is noted either in this thread or Jay's thread) are and will be posted here:  https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/stock-voyager-gan-amp-350-600-contrasted-with-my-evs1200-600-...

The reasons are explained in the thread.  I limited the comparisons to the two amps (and in that thread) are there (and if additional comments are posted they will be there as well) as there are individuals with no experience with a particular product, let alone in my room (have no idea why people do that - I live close enough to the launches at Cape Canaveral to hear and see them and I'm certainly not going to post stuff about the technical aspects of rocket propulsion and it seems to me that people without direct experience are merely hypothesing based on either no or limited experience with the products using some of the same technology).

In process (today) of setting up the EVS1200 in a secondary system (today) sing Selah Audio SA2s.  The EVS is a wonderful amp in its own right (and probably severe overkill where I'll be using it).  I had a Mivera SE amp (which I sold a few weeks back) which used an IcePower stereo board (vs. the dual mono) and before that Class A/AB amps in the $9k retail price range.  Any comments I put related to those things are based on both my personal experience with my system as well as quoting observations of friends who have experienced it in person as well.  I don't make blanket statements about products of any kind which I have not heard in my system or other systems I'm familiar with as there is always system synergy as well as the personal tastes of others and I can't tell anyone else what they hear or don't hear or what they like.
