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.....

You know very well we are talking about electronics here......of course, certain measurements of speakers are very important. 

That isn't what your statement said. You said:

What is so funny is that these "science is truth" people have no truth.   There are no double blind linstening tests that confirm one measurement is better than another.

Saying that this applies only to amps and preamps after saying something like that is changing the argument- the first statement remains false.

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.

To be clear, the conclusion isn't supported by the opening statement. You don't know anything about me; the conclusion is not only unsupported but also false. And I made my statement in the context of crossover components in a loudspeaker. I would be really interested if you could show that they make even a 10th of a dB difference to the noise floor. In practice that seems difficult at best since you'd need an anechoic chamber to prove it. Regarding the analyzer, its proven itself very useful during the class D project as have differential probes, smart tweezers and a decent thermal camera plus a fair amount of simulation.

With my analyzer cheap dummy loads have a -92dB noise floor.
 

Lol! This statement suggests that your analyzer isn't being run properly or its broken. 

Would there  be harmonic distortion from a 15khz tone that humans could hear or a band limited amp would amplify? Anyway this Voyager amp uses 2 stereo modules bridged which doesn't make sense to me, I think one could find a better amp for less mony.

It’s not. And that’s what confuses people with no hands on experience. I read that thread over on ASR and the answers from the armchair engineers were to increase the bandwidth so harmonics out of the band of human hearing would tell us what was needed to know. Poor answer. That wouldn’t tell us any meaningful information.

What the 15khz test tone could potentially do is put strain on the amp, which in turn worsens the harmonics from the 1khz test tone. As well as increase the noise floor of the amp. Because performance within the audible band is what audiophiles care about. But some folks must only listen to music where all the tones are at 1khz. So this test would be meaningless for them.

Funny it runs properly when I use the Mundorf resistor based dummy load. I guess the analyzer must have a brand bias.
