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.....

And ricevs, you always resort back to the "peace, love, dope" card every time you get caught out/called out. Do you think members don’t see this?

atmasphere,
Thanks for your input on the impedance question.  I use the Rane ME 60 equalizer as a small gain stage with EQ.  This SS source has a low output impedance, I forgot, maybe 100 ohms.  The ratio of input impedance to output impedance would be 380 for 38K input, or 1500 for 150K input.  Both ratios are very high, way over the minimum 10, so I wonder whether there would be any audible or technical difference between 38K or 150K.

Off topic, I read some reviews and comments of your amps.  Not being able to afford them, I won't get a chance to hear them, although the powerhouse MA-3 would be the ultimate, I would opine that your amps are the only tube amps without the typical warm, euphonic classic tube sound.  Almost 40 years ago, I briefly owned the Futterman H3aa OTL amps, bought from Julius after waiting almost a year.  They had a certain clarity, but I didn't like the typical tube fullness in the lower freq, so I soon switched to SS amps.
