Been intrigued by this power amp since it was introduced. Yes, another " D " thread.


🙂I hope everyone hear ( here, lol ) is doing well in their life, considering the current state of our world. Some of you know me by my posts, and I have communicated thru email with many of you as well. The LSA Warp 1 has had 5 glowing professional reviews, but would like to hear from others who are using it, or who has used it, as the primary amp ( 2 channel or multi channel ), or who moved on from it. I believe I would enjoy the characteristics described by all of the reviewers. Thank you all. MrD.

So, I did have a Warp One here for a couple of months ( bought new from Wally ), and, I did not like it in my system. My best bud also bought one...and he loves it. The only " D " amp I have not tried, still, is a GAN. I am currently enjoying, immensely, my Edge M8 ( Original Black, before Maker Audio ), as it brings me so much enjoyment when listening. Happy Mother’s Day, to all. My best, MrD.

I bought an LSA product a while ago based on the reviews. Long story short, it did not work out. I don't trust those reviews, I contacted each and every one of them, even offered to pay (through their sponsoring link) and none responded. Which made me suspicious, but not enough to stay away from LSA.

I have owned quite a few class Ds over the last 2 decades. By far the best by far is my EVS 1200 a dual mono Icepower AS 1200 design with lots of Ric Schultz tweaks. Upgrading cables makes a HUGE difference

I also have a LSA Voyager GaN 350 which I much preferred over the EVS, but since then I have significantly upgraded all wiring, plus, replaced a Marantz HD CD-1 player used as a transport with a Audiolab CDT 6000 (fabulous bargain). Alas, I managed to take out one module in the Voyager, and have not been able to compare again
