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.....

Just your opinion.  What is your last and final word?  You certainly are not going to change your mind, nor I.   Has this not gone on long enough...or do you want to keep blasting?  My last word to you objectivists is this:

Love

 

 

 

Only if you're a scammer that tweaks and asks for money without any tech info on what's being done to the owner's equipment, and how it effects in technical terms the sound and the specs.   Andy

A lot of competent designers say there is a difference in capacitors that measure the same, but are made from different materials.

 

Not just that, if you read a little more about them, caps of the same uF (capacitance) value, also have different inductance, resistance, and leakage current, and they are made as electrolytic’s, plastic’s, or even paper, this is why they sound different, because of all these specs which can be measured! Andy

Here is an interesting story.  My friend wanted to have some 1uf polystyrene 100 V caps custom made.  He got the aluminum foil from Dave Fletcher at Sumiko.....and sent that to 4 different cap making companies along with Mogami wire for the leads, and his own solder for attachment.  Since most polystyrene comes from Germany from the same plant.....there was practically nothing different in each custom cap.  When we got back all the samples I was the one that tested them for sound.  They all sounded different.....yup....that's right.....they all sounded different.  Maybe different tension or whatever.....who knows.  The "everything makes a difference" game is very very subtle.

All brands of polyprop or whatever caps sound different from each other....even if they are the same length.  If you orient the cap with the outside foil to the output of lower potential it sounds best.  None of this can be measured.  Even within brands there are various versions that have different sound.  Check out all the versions of Mundorf caps, for instance.  Read the reviews of these caps.....they all sound different.  If you use silver wire instead of copper wire it sounds different......no difference in measurements.  This game is not simple....it is infinite....just like our soul is.  If all caps made from the same material sound different....then there are a lot of things coming into play here.  Check out VH Audio (V-caps) and their detailed description of how they designed their expensive caps.

Measurements can tell you some things......but most things need to be listened to to get to the truth of the purity of the sound.....to really KNOW something.

The only things that are infinite are the universe and human stupidity, according to some German guy. We can see the latter proven here daily.
