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 famous and insightful 1980's audiophile Ronald Reagan got it right:  Trust but verify.   Verifying is the tricky part.     You can take an already good sounding system, a prime candidate for some "tweak" to try and make it even better,  do nothing, and it will still sound good, probably even different to the user each time it is listened to.  Can be many factors at play including changes in weather and physiology day to day.   Not to mention mindset.  No mind, no sound.   Some will have more concrete standards to verify than others, like a clear explanation of how something works that makes sense.  Then the value proposition comes into play.  Hardcore audiophiles like Mr. TBV:   R. Reagan might perceive great value with very minor changes, and be inclined to spend more money for it.  YMMV.  It is what it is.   Where things head south is when one merely trusts.  Lots of folks out there who want your money.  Gotta be careful.  Verify!

LSA Voyager GAN 350 its problem is power wire (AC DC)only 16 AWG, that design was too little to good sound, 14 AWG or above is better .


 

 

That's the least of this amp's problems. The basic design is subpar.

 

Who are you to stand in judgment of anything?

You seem to have an AX to grind with Wally and LSA.

@kuribo Looking at your history of posts all you do is blast amplifier builders for not building their Class D amps with Purfi (and I think the NAD stuff sound atrocious and I have owned them) and you have blasted every GaN amplifier with the exception of Leo and his Orchard so if Bruno Putzeys or Leo are not the developer it is garbage?

Like I said looking through all 134 of your posts you are a polluter and just sling mud.

You truly are a troll and bring nothing to the table.

So what if someone likes certain amps or designers?  It's an opinion.   Just accept it and move on.  No need to demonize.  Some people come across a bit stronger than others.   SO what?  Speak your mind and move on.  No need to squabble.   Does not look good for anyone.

I am always on the lookout for new developments relating to Class D amps.   GaN is one, but more to an amp than only that.    Need to hear them to properly assess.   Have not heard yet, but on the lookout.   THe Class D amps I have had for a number of years now still bang my drum so not as motivated to jump as I might be.   With new technology, waiting a bit for new advancements to take hold usually pays dividends in terms of value.

Has anyone seen a photo of the Peachtre GAN400 with the cover off?  The componentry is supposed to be quite similar to the Voyager, and I'd be really interested to compare pics of the insides of both, side by side.
