LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

Just got mine last week.  After 24 hours of play all I can say is that this is not your father's class D amplifier.  There is not one thing about its sound that reminds me of the class D gremlins that I do not like.  The low end filled in and now has deep impact, the midrange is the love child of a beautiful tube and clean hybrid amp - just gorgeous.  Highs are very clean and extended. Spatial cues are top notch. My system has had some damn good tube and solid state amps in it before and it has never sounded this good.  I am blown away with the quality of sound coming from class D amplification at this price point.

This 300 wpc amplifier is a real winner.....

My EVS1200 (sans Kubes) is chameleon-like in that it doesn't make poor recordings sound enjoyable, though it does make them sound "better" If that makes sense, though I don't doubt getting my roof siliconed has had a big impact on everything I play.


In case you missed it, last week I had my flat open beam ceiling roof siliconed to cut down on S Floridas penetrating heat. It really did the trick, but unbeknownst to me, an additional benefit is; the inside of my house is significantly quieter/immune from external noises from nearby interstate, trains, birds, and the morning frog serenade

Post Note: All the CDs Im playing after silicone sound so much better- longer decays, more intimate, wider, deeper sound stage, drums/bass much more authority... meaning my room has taken a giant leap in quietness that forces me to release my recollection of pre silicone sound.


Fortunately, I've had a few days to get a handle on it before adding the Voyager, otherwise any comparison would have been invalid

Silicone/silicon, tomato/potato, LOL.

Perhaps the ceiling/roof weighs more and is harder than before, which might tighten up the sound.  Soft wood walls make the sound warmer and looser.

Agree - I have these in many of my rooms as well -  https://www.tmsoundproofing.com/Electric-Box-Seal.html?sku=BOXSEAL_STC012102

The Orchard stereo amp is currently 2.5K, preorder, and shipping September/October (heard that before?).  But I think that pricemay eventually go up.

The Voyager is 3K and the Warp One currently 1K.

Someone needs to compare the Starkrimson Ultra with the Voyager, when the Ultra drops.
