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.....

Think they are one and the same.

Live and let live.

This statement is false on two counts.

External crossovers don't contribute noise to any system nor do they add distortion. If either were to happen, it would point to a severe flaw in the amplifier driving the crossover.

Passive crossovers of themselves cannot cause noise or distortion. 
 

Well we will see next week. Do you own an audio analyzer?

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.

@kuribo So what do you recommend?

I prefer and recommend an amplifier designed and tested to add as little to the signal as possible

Still waiting for your recommendations.

Just curious who you think cuts the mustard.

Yes Jerry I read the thread and responded to the same concerns anyone with an ounce of knowledge would. And @amplifierdude did notify me of this thread, and the accusations made about me. But as far as I know he’s not banned and could post for himself at any time. So why would he make a new account?

Not sure and why would he be reaching out to you?

Think he would be more concerned about the accusations from you shuttering your business if he was a friend.

Really a big coincidence there.

But who cares you seem to be nicer as Mike than @amplifierdude

We will see.
