LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier


Just got mine last week.  After 24 hours of play all I can say is that this is not your father's class D amplifier.  There is not one thing about its sound that reminds me of the class D gremlins that I do not like.  The low end filled in and now has deep impact, the midrange is the love child of a beautiful tube and clean hybrid amp - just gorgeous.  Highs are very clean and extended. Spatial cues are top notch. My system has had some damn good tube and solid state amps in it before and it has never sounded this good.  I am blown away with the quality of sound coming from class D amplification at this price point.

This 300 wpc amplifier is a real winner.....

Since you love ASR so much why don't you head on over? Illogical, tin-eared and self-righteous, you will fit right in. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

You are of course correct. Literally. Sound literally cannot be measured. This is just a fact. But it is a fact many of us miss because we confuse and conflate sound with pressure waves.

Pressure waves we can measure. This is literally what we measure with dB, pressure waves. When pressure waves reach a human ear they can sometimes be perceived as sound. Sometimes, because frequency or amplitude may fall outside human perception. But this is the key to understanding, hearing sounds is a human psychological perception. Physical measurement of pressure waves is not.

 

People who fail to grasp this crucial point are perpetually puzzled and unable to answer the simplest question: If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it does it make a sound? This is not a trick question. The answer is NO! The tree falling vibrates the air. Vibrations in air are not sounds. Human beings hear sounds. Microphones do not. 

This is so obvious, it should be Audio 101. Instead, look how many pretend to be audiophiles while not even understanding this most basic concept. 

One thing I have learned in audio, whenever an audiophile says he can't hear, believe him. No matter what anyone else says abraxalito, I believe you.
