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.....

Taking me way longer to get my stereo back up an running (no speakers for over one year now...been using headphones). Just now finished wiring the speakers and I will be firing up the stereo tomorrow some time. The amp starting the game will be my modded VTV Purifi amp (same level of mod that was reviewed by 10audio). I will do a couple of mods to the Purifi and then change to the Voyager......this should be fun.

What do they say about things taking way longer than expected?.......At least 3 times longer.....at least. I thought I would have the stereo fired up last Thursday.......it does feel way more together in here.....had to clean a ton of stuff up. It is all good!

Patience? I’ve waited 2 years from when I was initially told I would have the Voyager. Of course it was out of my control, but the wait was well worth it.

Confucius say The reward for patience is PATIENCE

YYZ  Are you using XLR or RCA cables? My system is 100% true balanced. I don’t notice any less bass, but surely cleaner, faster bass. Now, having said that, improving on internal wiring can bring a touch more bass authority/weight. Be very interesting to get a report after Ric does his thing

Last night I played my absolute worst torture test cd Wilson Philips Greatest Hits, and for the first time I was able to listen without pain, but the music IMHO SUCKS

@tweak1 I was using Audience Au24 SE balanced XLR + Wywire Balanced XLR from my sources to my CODA and the 15 foot Benchmark XLR to my CODA #8 amp. I tried this setup with the CODA #8, Voyager, and AHB2. The CODA #8 had the most bass followed by the Voyager. The AHB2 was further behind. 

I now run Audience Au24 SE RCA from my DACs to the CODA 07x to see if it can be quieter (it is not). However, the bass sounded the same as the XLR with the CODA #8 and Voyager.

The KRELL K-300i seems to have the most bass of all the amps I have in the house.
