LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

To @ricevs point, your ears are the final qc in the chain. Even my video calibrator with all his expensive instrumentation, uses his eyes for final settings. It's no different with audio. There is more to audio than measuring equipment can show. For example, intensity, density or projection. Some amps with excellent specs have a capacity to project sound into the room than others with excellent specs. I found this out when I compared a Class A/AB to a Gan class D. Both measure well and the Gan costs almost twice the price. The a/b simply sounded better to my ears because of how it projected sound into the room. I found this to be crucial in order to get more involved in the music. The Gan amp had all the elements of an excellent amp, spec wise, but in the end it just wasn't projecting the music into the room in the same manner despite it being the more powerful of the two. The sum of the parts didn't add up in the end. There was almost no connection to the music, even though it was a clean sound. Test measurements simply don't measure this sort of thing. So in the end, my ears and my connection to the music took priority at  and the class A/B was the better of the two without question mainly due to intensity, density and projection.
