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.....

GaN is one, but more to an amp than only that.    Need to hear them to properly assess.   Have not heard yet, but on the lookout.   THe Class D amps I have had for a number of years now still bang my drum so not as motivated to jump as I might be.   With new technology, waiting a bit for new advancements to take hold usually pays dividends in terms of value.

I have similar sentiments, however I've not actually had any Class D.  I've been watching recent developments for perhaps a year or more and am in waiting mode.  I'm in no hurry at all, but will "jump" when I assess things (could be a tricky exercise) as stabilizing.

Forums such as this are valuable in the information discovery process.

I enjoy the quote by Mr Reagan.  Some common sense to hang on to.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, this thread was about the LSA Voyager.

I think some comments were being deleted regarding LSA Voyager.  Blink and you'd miss it.  Perhaps people just gave up - something fishy, to my mind..

Because performance within the audible band is what audiophiles care about. But some folks must only listen to music where all the tones are at 1khz. So this test would be meaningless for them.

1khz is within the audible band. I’m guessing 1 khz is chosen because its harmonics are within a reasonable range. Perhaps a sweet spot. Not sure.

Some people may actually wish to listen to a 1khz tone, but there are probably other meaningful therapeutic influences in play should they wish to do so..

You may wish to listen to a 15khz tone by what you have said. A most interesting anomaly.  I don't think it would be very pleasant.

As most amps have a much harder time as the frequency climbs above 1khz. And there’s meaningful content in music above 1khz.

Quite some time ago someone here was seeking a musical CD player.  They chose a Yamaha CDP, because Yamaha also make musical instruments.

Were you that person?
