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!

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.

First off ...how can you own a GAN amp from underwood for 18 months.....  When it's only been out a few months. As to reviews..you can't complain of negative reviews..when the positive ones are used by the company. Yes audio science review 

@nyaudio98 

You need to double check how long the Voyager has been available. Much like other of your comments, this too makes no sense

 

I don't know if they got a bad amp - quality control issue?  However, my Voyager GAN modded by @ricevs sounds freaking awesome across the frequency band.  Highs and mids are pristine and crystalline clear.  Lows are nice.  I don't give a sheet how it measures, it sounds fantastic.
