GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?


Peachtree 400 and LSA Voyager GaN amps: Does anyone have direct experience with both of these amps? Can you comment on any differences that might exist in sound? I know the internals are supposed to be the same but even if that is true implementation can make a difference. Both are highly regarded by those who own them.

Might also be helpful if you listed the rest of your system (Pre and speakers).

My current system is: Bricasti M3 DAC; Rogue RP-7 (NOS) pre; Bel Canto Ref600M amps; Fyne F1-8 speakers.

Thanks in advance!

I bought the Benchmark AHB2 amplifier. Don't know yet when I will receive it. My thinking is there is a return period; it is well regarded so if I decide to sell after the return period I should have no trouble; I had their LA-4 pre for a while and it was a very good piece; I am hoping my tube preamp will keep the sound from being dry. 

Thanks everyone for your opinion.

It has nothing to do with ego, the amp is what it is and the load dependent frequency response is a simple fact.

When people come here asking for information I take them at their word that they are looking for factual data. Clearly some don't want that. That's fine.

I have no self interest in this choice. I am not trying to sell anything.

If you believe audio is a religion, you have found your savior. Perhaps he can perform a miracle and turn your poorly designed amp into something magnificent. Just remember: Jesus never charged for his miracles.

Best of luck.

nope.   You can find both for less than $2K

@mbolek , this sounds good. did you mean used, otherwise,  do you have an idea where? 

Over on the other selling site, there's someone unloading their LSA right now for $1700.  They can't have had it for very long, wonder why they're selling.

@markmuse , thanks for letting us know your choice. Please keep us posted on your first impressions on the Benchmark amp!

@kuribo , i didn't know that both of you are dealers/producers. I still did not take a final decision. I don't believe that audio is religion, and i don't care too much about religion since it is basically converted to a bureaucratic institution. Still,i think that  religion helps to people. I rather try to believe that  God is everywhere and that he has to do with everything.
