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.....

I’ve built the best measuring and sounding amp in the world. 

 

 

Prove it

Share something that measures better. And this is through an input stage that drives the amp to full output power with 4v input. Not with the input stage bypass cheater switch enabled like Benchmark has. 
 

 

Here is an intelligent way to deal with them......when they,....or a group of them (there are only about one half dozen of the worse) of these guys says something not true then one person should counter with the truth.
 

 

You have no concept of "truth" , only your subjective opinion which you are constantly falsely marketing here as "truth". You are selling a religion, for which there is no truth, only unsupportable, unverifiable, "trust me" opinion you put in a glass and have your followers slurp down. You are the anti-truth.

You said it not only is the best measuring amp in the world, but also the best sounding amp in the world. Kind of like saying my dad can beat up your dad, my dad is the toughest dad in the world

Well hard to share how something sounds over a forum. But for those intelligent enough to understand what's in the picture, it's as much proof you'll ever see on a forum.

+1 And that's the truth. Andy

 

Certainly trying to make a point. He's smart, he can read a chart, along with 99.9 % of the other folks on AG.. We just aren't prone to show everyone how smart we are.. But I'm impressed for sure. What is it we're reading again, earthquakes in Japan at 5 different places? ;-)

 

Best to keep it inside then. Makes for better discourse when nobody knows what they're talking about

Thanks for taking the time to show these 2 for who/what they really are. Let's hope Tammi or the mods see this and strike these 2 and our needed responses so this thread can be sanitzed once again

just the facts

new names, same old loser(s), same old garbage

to established users, i would remind you, recognize the garbage so it can be thrown out, don’t respond to it, just makes it worse

mods please take note, thanks, have a good weekend all

 

I suppose he's suggesting that if the information you share is factual, it's forum policy to keep your posting to a minimum. 

I didn’t realize LSA made another amp with the TI TPA3255 chip just like Icepower uses in their 200AS1 and AS2 modules. 
 

It would be interesting to hear if they did a better job than Icepower with their implementation. Icepower’s 200AS2 stereo module can be had for $78. And is a turnkey amp. Built in supply and everything.

@amplifierdude You are just mudslinging. You have an agenda and should be sent back to the bridge you crawled out from under.

Are the connections soldered properly

How’s this mudslinging? What did I say bad about anything other than Ric’s mods and behaviour? Obviously LSA agrees with me that the TI TPA3255 class D chip can make an amazing cost/performance amp. In fact after hearing the TI demo amp, I almost made a custom implementation myself. But then Icepower came out with their modules, which are flawlessly implemented, with top quality parts. And dirt chip. Around $43 I believe in quantities of 100 units. So obviously I decided it wasn’t worth the expense and headaches making my own version. 

Why would anyone make this accusation? Someone signs up just to make 1 post and we should believe this? Wow you audiophiles are delusional. Provide some evidence, share a video taken of you with The location. Then I’ll share a video of me. Then we can meet up in person. If you don’t show up you’re a fraud.

@amplifierdude  

But I don’t make amps for audiophiles. Only music lovers.

I'm a music lover! Seriously, I post mostly in a few music related threads. Not equipment threads. What is the brand of the amplifier you make? I'm interested, you know, as a music lover.

I make amps for active speakers. Only music lovers like them because they don’t carry the biases of separates/passive speakers do

@amplifierdude  - I have some active speakers! What brand of active speakers do you make amps for? Maybe I have some of your amps.

@amplifierdude 

Nothing that anyone on here knows about

See, now you're just making $hit up. I get around. I know lots of stuff. I'm into both 2-channel audio reproduction and pro audio. These are the only 2 markets for audio amplifiers, so I would know your work. If you just shared it. Seriously, I would know it. I get around. Ask anyone. They know me.

Yipeee you’re a hero,! Now what are you trying to convince me or anyone intelligent about again? 

@amplifierdude 

Yipeee you’re a hero,! Now what are you trying to convince me or anyone intelligent about again? 

Let's see. Well, I've been around here for more than 20 years (you've been here for days) and I'm not currently selling anything (you are). Seems to me you need to be the one convincing people. You're just not doing a very good job of it. You haven't even told us the name of the product yet. How are we supposed to buy it if we don't know what it is?

I'm seriously interested in a great product at a great value. I mean, I have a Raspberry Pi based music server, and a Pioneer PLX-1000 turntable, both seriously High Value Products. My music server has software controlled volume, so I could connect it directly to a pair of active speakers and have a nice little affordable system. But I don't know what speakers your amps are in. So how am I to help your cause?

Anyone else spot the failure of logic in this statement?

@amplifierdude If I can offer a tip: If you want credibility you're going about it the wrong way. Apocryphal statements like 'I make the best measuring and sounding amplifier' won't get you anywhere- in fact they only serve to erode your credibility. If you really want street cred you need to do two things:

1) get out there and show us how its done

2) keep doing it for a really long time so people can see you really mean it and have dedication.

Put another way, a true shaman or medicine man never says he is any such thing- others say that instead. That is why there are universities and colleges that confer degrees- others have said that the recipient of the degree has demonstrated worthiness.

 

Another way is to use the amps in active speakers so they’re not wasted by passing the signal though crappy passive crossover parts. 

I don't think it is even a question that down the road  (maybe 10-20 years or possibly less) many speakers will have everything built in except for a source.  It is the likely the wave of the future.  My Vanatoo Audio Transparent One Encores I use on the desktop are like that with a 24/96 DAC,  That type of set-up with also eliminate much of the cabling between components as well.

In a couple days I’ll show you guys what that pristine signal coming from my amplifier looks like after passing though a passive crossover.  

No it will just add a bunch of noise and distortion. And that’s even with top quality copper foil inductors, Mundorf silver/gold in oil caps, and Dueland resistors. I can just imagine what the cheap Bennic crossovers used in most high end commercial speakers (B&W, Revel, Vivid etc) would do to the signal. Especially if it’s 4th order. 

Oh, that's right, you grade the sound of your amps using measurements instead of an actual listening experience. 

Added noise and distortion hasn’t ever improved my subjective listening experience. That being said not all good measuring gear sounds good. I’ve heard many great measuring DAC’s and amps that sound like crap. But when your electronics are amazing both objectively and subjectively, you don’t get improved sound by adding noise, distortion and phase shifts before the drivers.

You took it off topic Kenjit or Mike with your lies and your fake data.

 

Yes because the first 11 pages before I arrived were strictly on topic every post. 

I believe @cascadesphil is right about active speakers/systems being the future, Gayle Sanders' Eikon speakers are just sensational, all you need is a source. Kii and Dutch & Dutch are also making superb active speakers.
