I think he meant this one , don't really understand what this may yield referring to sound quality, apparently highs are fine with this amp. I may also confirm that tomorrow
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!

It is pretty strange that in this day of measurements, that LSA would allow a product that measures this poorly to hit the market without a few tweaks that would drastically improve its sinaid and other measurements and maybe even the sound. But, what I really appreciate about ASR is their teardowns...lots of people measure and listen...but that doesn't tell the whole story about safety and reliability. It looks like the gan350 is a mixed bag:

In my opinion, reviewers are mostly just one person's opinion and do not really add more than that. A few of them think they are either golden ears or know a lot more than the average bear. You see a few of them post on A'gon too with that attitude. I get a lot more value from A'gon users posting their impressions of gear. More viewpoints and usually a bit humbler. A lot of opinions on the LSA Voyager on this site |
I have the Voyager (supposedly the amp used by the SF Audio Society) to use in warmer months instead of my Line Magnetic LM845 tube amp. I briefly hooked it up when I got it and was impressed, but only listened for a few hours. Maybe I'll hook it up again this weekend to spend some more time with it. However, I also have a condo in AZ and might ship it there to use with a Don Sachs tube pre that I'm not using right now. The speakers are Clearwave Duet 6 standmount speakers that I think will sound great with this combo. We just purchased the condo and will be there in a couple weeks to start setting it up. I picked up a used Cambridge EVO150 all in one to use at first, but I could just use it as a streamer/dac too. We'll see, I like having options.
@yyzsantabarbara I'm also impressed by the LS60 and I'm also thinking of selling all this stuff (the voyager, sachs pre, cambridge) and getting a pair of LS60's instead, but that's another subject. We'll see. |
