LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

The Voyager sounded flat with my RAAL but I had a Convolution filter running then. This filter is great with the AHB2 (actually required) and also good with the CODA. The Voyager was sounding flat with the filter. I turned off the filter and the sound took on more life and seemed comparable with the AHB2 and CODA with filter.

The AHB2 without the filter is fatiguing. The CODA does not need the filter but improves slight with it. I spoke with RAAL-Requites Danny on this filter for their headphone and he was very impressed by it. 

I have the Voyager playing 24 hours a day and in 4 days I will be at 200 hours. I will do some listening with the Thiels then. Though I have always liked the Voyager with the Thiel, not so much with the RAAL, until now without the filter.

How about one of the owners of the Voyager posts a pic in their virtual system? There is a "rendered" version on LSA's own site, but not the actual amp in real life.

I got the KRELL K-300i back today and playing some of the same songs as with the other amps. My plans of selling this integrated are now halted. It sounds like the CODA #8 but a little smoother and more bass. I am going to keep the KRELL with my Thiels. I am using the Topping D90se DAC at the moment, this is a great DAC with the warm KRELL.

Is is better than the Voyager? It is not as fast sounding as the Voyager, less exciting, a much more relaxing sound, both have their place. That KRELL bass and smoothness is a winning combo. I have had the KRELL for about 10 months so it is nicely broken-in.

@yyzsantabarbara so it sounds like it boils down to you have a lot of good sounding stuff to work with and each sounds a little different and some match up better than others so you are very blessed.
Lots of words and thinks on this sight dedicated to comparing gear and sighting how they sound different, you know this does this and that does that, etc. but it is all good and one need only choose whatever floats one’s boat at any particular time. Like choosing among fine wines or cigars, beautiful women, etc.  

You got that right. I have maybe 1 too many amps now. I also consider my RAAL the equal of my KEF LS50 and Thiel CS3.7. So I consider myself to have 3 systems.

I think there is a  nice range of sound in the house, smooth, relaxing, fast, powerful, clear. None of the amps can do each of them but the 4 amps I have can collectively do all of them.

Definitely not buying any more gear. This was a 12 month buying spree after a very long time of holding off.
