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.....

ASR....Where people trash everything based solely on measurements without ever actually listening to the product itself. A Steve Huff Review has more integrity than anything Ive ever read on that forum. Where Bottom Feeders go to trash stuff they cant afford en masse to make themselves feel better.

Agreed! ASR reviews are of little use usually. However, in this particular ASR review the amp had real build quality issues. At least worth a read. One XLR output was not operating properly.

I wouldn't go by anything ASR says about anything.  They reviewed the Class D Audio mini GaN amp and found "I had trouble getting the amplifier to function initially. It would simply not output anything."  Then magically the amp worked later.  The case of the mini GaN amp is magnetic and perhaps interfered with his initial try or it was the cheap connectors (I have one and noted the cheap connectors and magnetic case in a review elsewhere - in the system where I currently have it, which is basically a guest bedroom, I don't think the connectors are of as good quality as a Marantz 5010 receiver I have in the system as I couldn't get the high level connectors to a sub and speaker connectors working on one channel - was fine when I connected the sub to the receiver pre-outs).

It is hysterical that people even follow that site.  I have a friend who bought the Apollon Audio IcePower amp in the narrow depth case they reviewed.  ASR mentioned the case - "The top and rear plates are to blame. I have no idea about the metal used, but it is clearly not rigid/solid enough."  Whatever he said about the case is BS.  Yes it is not a Bryston or Modwright or the case one would find in an expensive amp.  ASR seems to have issues that from personal experience just don't exist.  It is either the worst luck in the world or an agenda of some sort.

ASR review: what a crock! 93 people didn’t like it at all. When the hell did 93 people get one to report negatively? Down right slander

Measurements tell a lot, It does not look good to me.

If you have a 4ohm load then it’s going to sound rolled off in the highs, compared to if you have an 8ohm load, then it'll sound hot in the highs

 

 

 

And then there’s the terrible designed balanced input gain and noise difference, rca was fine.
