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.....

Has he tested any amp with -115 THD+N @ 100w output? After Amir repaired the amp it measured as good as the module manufacturer's claim. So not sure what more to expect. 

Maybe the Manufacturer doesnt know anything about that Freaks n Geeks site. Who wants to be a member of a forum where 100 people vote that an amp or speaker stinks regardless if they actually heard it or not?  Worthless

When a GaN based amp measures and sounds better than what I already have, maybe I'll take some interest. But when we get to the level of amplification I'm currently using, the amp is no longer the weak link in the chain. The speakers, crossover and room acoustics are 100x more important. The only real area for improvement over what I currently have for an amplifier is decreasing the size. And that will only happen with advancements in power supply technology.

When an amp has poor measured performance that doesn't meet the standards set at that price point, who would want it regardless? I don't think anyone intelligent needs to drive a $100,000 sports car with an engine that dynos at 100hp to known it can't compete with similarly priced cars with 700hp.

For all we know the channels could have a 10-20dB spread of THD+N between them. 

 

You are missing the point: the guru's followers simply don't care if there is a channel spread, if the amp is a safety hazard, or if there is absolutely no scientific basis for any of these nutty tweaks. They don't care if science, logic and reason dictate human hearing is incapable of hearing any differences. Why? Because it isn't science, it's religion. And rather than use their own brain and sensory faculties, they have found a guru to make all of their audio insecurities better by telling them what sounds good, or better, or best. They no longer have to obsess and fidget, they can just rely on their guru. Cha-ching.
