| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) @viber6 Perhaps you've overlooked this... I remind anyone interested in this amp to read the Absolute Sounds Technics review in Jul 2021 issue. As I read it the other day, he nailed everything Im hearing, which should help you decipher my scribb... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) Last night I listened to Alison Krauss + Union Station New Favorite. Listened to it at least 50-100 times. It was always entertaining, but I simply wasn't prepared for how everything sounded so clear, so focused and natural. Not even thinking abou... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) "Blows away" in this case means the sound stage is bigger, wider, deeper , significantly more life-like (micro-details are much more evident) than the amp I had such high praises for, but compared to what? Certainly not to the Voyager, which, BTW ... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) I neglected to mention "power". My last 4 Class D amps were: Emerald Physics 100.2SEs (100wpc?), Audio Alchemy DPA 1 (125/200), PS Audio M700s (350/700) < none of these adequately coupled to my room; ~26 x 35 x 12, lots of glass and terr... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) @grannyring I know what you mean, I meant by comparison using the same PC, iso devices (Machina Dynamica Springs) and WW XLRs | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) In further assessing my stock Voyager, I finally got around to classical. First up was Yellowstone by Chip Davis. I have a connection to this as I visited Yellowstone and hiked around. On one hike along close by a river a small herd of Buffalo... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) "Switching Speed" that’s the term I was unable to pull from my brain lol When Ric asks " Can you describe the tonal balance difference, bass response, naturalness, soundstage, air, high frequency extension, detail, speed, dynamics, slam, decay, ... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) A few more discs under my belt, including Jennifer Nettles, which as I have mentioned is a mixed bag, and through the Voyager the well recorded cuts sound significantly better, as in more life like, smoother, more continuous, but the poorly record... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) @ricevs Why Walter is keen on them I do not know. When I bought my/his EP 100.2SE class D amps, I specifically told him no sorbo! He challenged me, and I basically said what you just said. Hopefully, the ones being shipped to customers don't have ... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) @jetter I'm sure you do. It's all good | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Hell Freezes Over, Willie Nelson Across the Border Line | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) I finally played something that I played yesterday, pre V: Hell Freezes Over. The music was slightly softened, which affected everything. The culprit is the sorbothane footers . I never understood why they were ever popular, IMO, they have no b... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) @jetter True enough, though in my defense, I ran through quite a few class Ds prior to the EVS1200 ($2300!), and as I recall, there were no GaN amps available 2 years ago that the average guy, like myself, could afford. At that time, Viber 6 (I a... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) @rsf507 I hear you! I've been racking my brain trying to recall what amp I had when the music was this pure. ~ 30 years ago I had Accoustat 2+2s with 4 of their servo amps/OTLs (somewhat modified). After I sold the whole system, a friend who built... | |
| Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200) A couple price corrections; the PS Audio M1200s are ’ONLY" $5998 LOL, while the Voyager is $3000.I haven’t yet relistened to the CDs from my initial redbooks, but will do so over the next couple days. I've been getting reacquainted with other CDs.... |
