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.....

Hp 8903B Old but it does the job.

Clearly some ’tube guys’ do have analyzers on hand...

That old junker maxes out at -80dB THD+N. Useless for modern audio gear engineering. Especially for class D design work. No wonder you didn’t know Johnson noise existed. With my analyzer cheap dummy loads have a -92dB noise floor. But your analyzer wouldn’t even pick that up.

So it looks like apmliferdude/Mike is back.

@twoleftears Yes sir I have and will probably at some point acquire the Benchmark unit it is an A/H unit. I keep looking for a used one in the $2K range.

The only double blind tests that were ever done showed that people cannot hear anything in a double blind test........so show me the results of phase shift of an amp....or .001 versus .1 percent distortion

If people can't hear a 3 dB difference in distortion when a controlled test is performed, then either your "everything matters" mantra is wrong or your tweakies produce a greater than 3 dB increase in distortion. Seems people can only hear these claimed "improvements" if they pay you for them. More "trust me" as the money changes hands.
