LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

What is the compliance of your springs? What frequency range are you attempting to attenuate? Are you overdamped? Underdamped? Critically damped? Do you know anything about damping harmonic motion? "it sounds better" is not evidence that you have done anything meaningful to reduce the vibrations in your components- heard of confirmation bias? It's how all these nut job tweaks and tweakers make a living fleecing people.

Machina Dynamica.
Obtain a roll of adhesive-backed copper tape, width 1/2 inch. It can be either conductive or non-conductive adhesive. Adhesive-backed copper tape is available at Amazon and eBay, Radio Shack might carry it, who knows. Cut the copper tape into 1" x 1/2" rectangles - one rectangle for every window pane or glass door in the house or apartment. Attach one copper rectangle to each glass window and glass door. The copper rectangle can be placed anywhere on the glass, upper corner or otherwise out of view is OK. Be sure and attach a copper rectangle to glass in all rooms of the house or apt."

This is the level of sophistication we are at with these tweakie scammers....

FWIW some of us are interested in actual listening experience, and especially when people mention how it sounds vs other amps they know.

Due to the variability of this amp’s frequency response with load, unless two people are using the same speakers, any listening impressions, putting aside subjective differences in taste, will be meaningless as the amp will be performing differently with different speakers. Thus, trying to draw any conclusions of this amp’s performance, objective or subjective, from other user’s experiences, is fundamentally futile. As is sharing one’s super tweaks- due to load dependency, they won’t translate.

This is yesterday’s tech. If you want a state of the art class d amp, you need to look elsewhere.

Pity they're out of stock till after Xmas.  https://orchardaudio.com/shop/ols/products/strkrmsn-str-ltr

Much better amp than the LSA.

This is all nonsense.......ramblings from someone who has never listened to this amp. The measurements are not proof that this amp will sound different with a 4 ohm or 8 ohm speaker. Please show me the double blind listening tests that prove that. This is all conjecture from someone who believes that measurements rule and that listening tests are not needed to "know" how something sounds. Does not matter how much spin you put on this.....this is just your belief system. And this belief system is believed by very very few people who read this thread.....and the people who believe their ears and not some words from someone who does not listen will NEVER believe your belief system......and that is because they have direct experience that tells them the opposite......that cables, tweaks, fuses, footers, cables off the floor, etc. all have a different sound and that most of these things CANNOT be measured.

I have never heard of a person who believes that cables sound different....eventually "evolving"????? ...he he... to a place where they now believe all cables sound the same. NEVER will happen. Once you hear cables make a difference you cannot go back. However, lots of people who did not believe cables sound different have become "converts".....once they actually listened with an open mind and heart.

Why don’t you go onto Jay’s thread?......and tell them that his latest $10K cables are all snake oil and that cables all sound the same?......and that the Synergistic fuses he heard are all snake oil.....and that his $5K speakers stands are all snake oil.....and that the footers he heard (and that he did not like)...are all snake oil (because you cannot hear a footer under a 100lb. amp sitting on a $5K stand). , and that more perfect measuring and cheaper gear are more accurate, etc..

The reason you will not go there is that they would laugh you right off....you would feel so low you would never come back. On these cheapo threads you feel less threatened and have your buddies to do the +1 thing. The bottom line is that what you say is just your opinion. Of course, this applies to all, including what I just said. It is just that my basic opinion.(that a lot of things in audio that make the sound better cannot be measured) is shared by most everyone here........and practically no one on ASR. Such is life. Life is beautiful.....and your stereo can be made to sound more beautiful by playing with infinite things. Its fun!

Have fun......we don’t need to be so serious. No one is getting hurt by buying this really good sounding amp or having mods done to it or whatever. Chill and bliss out......it is good for you.

So, you have sonically A/Bed the Orchard and the LSA in your system using the same cords, etc.....both burned in and you think one sounds better? Or are we still talking numbers and no listening tests to back up the numbers game?

I have some Orchard monos here right now that I am modding. I will hear how they sound for myself. No one can tell me what is best.....I will know for myself. Trust your ears.....do not trust words from me or anyone else. Trust yourself....you know what you want and what you like. The truth....is what you experience.....not what you are told.
