LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

OK, you can talk about love and so on,

Always the peace/love/dope/Woodstock card comes out when backed into a corner.

Changing the input impedance from 38k to 150k will do absolutely nothing if the source has a "normal low'ish" (say <150ohm) output impedance that will drive both, making the input 150kohm, could very well "only serve" to have higher measured noise in the end.

And willy/nilly changing the input of an amp to something 4x higher "can" create offset and other problems, there was a reason it was 38k to start with.

Love is not just in a corner but everywhere present......right this moment. It is in you, Woodstock. Me, I am sunshine. Actually, people used to call me that years ago......I really am Sunshine.....a beam of light......a Light Being.....and so are you.....so is everyone.

Blah, Blah Blah went the person who did not hear the difference between bad sounding 38K resistors and great sounding 148K resistors (the brand of resistor and the impedance both give a sonic improvement....my source was 50 ohms high current capability....class A output discrete stage). But of course, you had to be there and listen to know anything. Only listening to something gives real knowledge.....your opinion.....is based on nothing real....no listening tests.

Every improvement by every manufacturer is a mod/tweak of what they did before.

It’s called product development. Like when Bruno Putzkeys developed the UcD amp, then improved it through r&d into the Ncore, and now, after developing mathematical models to define the feedback behavior of his circuit, testing, analyzing, and measuring, it has been refined and the result is the Purifi amp. They don’t give patents to tweaks to someone else’s work. What product have you developed?

To try and frame your racing stripes as somehow on the same level as the development work Bruno has done to perfect his circuit is ludicrous. Like comparing a brain surgeon to a prison tatoo artist. Pathetic.

Bad sounding this, good sounding that...the Oracle has spoken...

Only listening to something gives real knowledge.....your opinion.....is based on nothing real

Indeed, your opinion is based on nothing real. It's all just a wave of the hands, a wink and a smile, send money.

“Perception is merely a lens or mindset from which we view people, events, and things.” In other words, we believe what we perceive to be accurate, and we create our own realities based on those perceptions. And although our perceptions feel very real, that doesn't mean they're necessarily factual."

Products developed:

Ultimate Attenuators......I invented the shunt attenuator in 1989......Ultimate Attenuators were class A rated in Stereophile for 7 years. Reviewed by Robert Harley in July 1990.

Hand Made DAC......this DAC using the UltraAnalog DAC chips and input receiver as well as the HDCD digital filter was one of the best DACs in the world in the late 90s.......only 15 of these incredible hand made things exist.

Millennium DAC.....these lower cost DACs are still prized by many.....see reviews at Audio Review......about 100 of these made......last version had fully custom discrete fet output stage that was my own design.

Lots of mods to SACD/DVD and Blue Ray players...many using a discrete fet stage of my own design......check out my website for pics of the latest hand made tweaky deaky thing.

Modified Nuforce class D amps.....made and sold amps using modified UCD modules and modified IcePower modules.

My list of accomplishments could go on forever.....but it will never convince someone who is set in his ways....that anything I do or say has any value.  My results speak for themselves and my customers.....speak for me.  I have a great reputation.  That says it all.  People are happy with the results of my products and mods......of course, not everyone......but rarely does anyone have anything negative to say about the sound of what i do.

No patents here.....but that does not mean I don’t have a ton of knowledge as to what makes good sound. You listen, you learn. You don’t listen....you don’t learn. What have you listened to and what did you learn? I am continuously learning.....I just learned that my binding post bypass system that I have been using is actually no better than a great binding post.......because......if you use a metal binding post as the clamp it sounds as bad as running the signal through it. You want to use Nylon, Teflon or wood as your clamp......nothing conductive. The mass of the metal conductor acts as a bad electron storage device. You really want to remove any connectors on your speaker wires.....it will BLOW your mind.....no spades, no bananas, no five way binding posts......you either solder or clamp using no metal.....for best sound. Just discovered this, this last week......there is always more.....and more.....into the infinity of love and joy......Blessings.

one of the best DACs in the world in the late 90s.......only 15 of these incredible hand made things exist.

Sounds like it really took the market by storm. And the other one sold 100...Wow, not much love it seems for these mind blowers...So much for building a better mousetrap.

But you did soldier together some resistors and "create" an attenuator. Bravo.

And this is why people should believe you can improve and optimize state of the art products like Purifi, Voyager, etc., to heights their designers were not capable of achieving? And you wonder why there are skeptics? It just keeps getting better.
