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.....

The biggest problem is, even if you come up with some mods that result in a pleasant subjective experience, without the right tools for the job it's impossible to verify if you have an exact match channel to channel, or mod to mod. With high resolution audio gear even extra flux on one tiny component can add distortion. Just look at the difference 1 bad XLR solder job did on the amp Amir measured. The more mods to do, the higher the probability of inconsistencies. That's why a proper engineer verifies each and every job with the proper tools before going out the door. 

I have already stated several times that my mods to not change the measurements in any way. As I say.....over and over again.....most things that change and improve the sound CANNOT be measured.

Really!! then those types of mods to me then state, they are brewed up in the darkest recesses of Haiti, by certain tribes, with bone through their noses. Andy.

 

Perhaps we should reflect for a moment on the length of time that the Voyager was in "development". It was announced and then its release was repeatedly pushed back over a considerable period of time.

This is pure speculation, but it makes you wonder if the original idea was for something proprietary and unique to LSA, and that for whatever reason (technology, supply, cost) that eventually didn’t work out, at which point the more "off-the-shelf" items found inside were substituted.
