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 will still contribute when the time it ripe. 

I think what's "ripe", is your claims, in my last post. Andy 

 

When you say I only have two clients it makes it sound like I have no history and therefore no value. I have had more than a thousand happy customers throughout the years (been modding since the 70s...professionaly selling finished products and mods since 1989)........just responding to your put down.

And yes, I looked at that photo and most of the mods I did and that were verified by two people were done because of what I saw in that picture.

Can you let go? I am sure you will want to have the last word.....so go ahead. I vote to stop this nonsense.....and since it takes two to tango.....I am out. However, I will still contribute when the time it ripe.

I have way more than 2 clients.......5 amps here right now being modded......3 more coming shortly....2 oppo 205s on the way....thank you, thank you, thank you.

This sounds very much like shilling to me.

Just like you say you can see many mods you can do to this amp to take it to another level just by looking at this photo, https://ibb.co/Dr86JY6

And what georgehifi said above, that you said you can miraculously do just by looking at a photo, and seeing many mods to be done to take it to another level.

Sorry but all this just doesn’t smell right to me. Andy

 

 

 

Gee, can anyone tell by his jargon what far end of the politcal spectrum he resides on? And you want to debate this guy? Good luck with that.

All the best,

Nonoise

Thank you great spirit for everything and everyone. And thank you for the 95% of audiophiles that KNOW that there are tons of things that improve stereo sound that cannot be measured. I have way more than 2 clients.......5 amps here right now being modded......3 more coming shortly....2 oppo 205s on the way....thank you, thank you, thank you. I am blessed.  We are all blessed.  Open your heart and feel it.....then share it with others.

And thank you for those that think otherwise. For drama is what makes life interesting.

@nonoise LOL you know I am right take this crap to Meta or Faceplant or Twitter or to your backyard. I am not nuteral I am old enough and wise enough to know there is a time an a place and this is not either of those.

We do need that Mute or Ignore button. Especially for you 4 

So I stated 2 absolute facts:

1: Biden’s been a politician for 50 years.

2: The shelves are bare at my local grocery store.

In which I proved with a photo

Tell me the misinformation that was spread that warrants this topic being escalated to inflamed levels?

Which is what you did after hearing my accurate assessments on Biden. Which has now been verified to be accurate.

So the only 2 appropriate actions now, are either to apologize, or explain why you shouldn’t. Step up to the plate.

Such an indignant response. Oh my! Are you always in the habit of stating two dissimilar and unrealted events, one right after the other in a sinlge post and leave others to think they're unrelated?

Maybe you're of the mind that your position is the correct one and to drop nasty asides is humorous since you assume the intended audience is of like mind.

So, no apology but my explanation does suffice. And if this is the way you try to argue your way out of a faux pas, then others here who are debating  amps will have a leg up on you.

All the best,

Nonoise

and yet, you throw this out

Well I think he only has 2 clients. So we can retain some faith in humanity.

So, you'll parden me if I don't believe a single word you say

Your arrogance comes across loud and clear, to me at least

"Oh well, but since you are so intent on showing Ric as a hack"

 

That's not my intention at all. If what you claim about the amp is true it will only vindicate all the claims being made. 

Well I think he only has 2 clients. So we can retain some faith in humanity. 

For all we know the channels could have a 10-20dB spread of THD+N between them. 

 

You are missing the point: the guru's followers simply don't care if there is a channel spread, if the amp is a safety hazard, or if there is absolutely no scientific basis for any of these nutty tweaks. They don't care if science, logic and reason dictate human hearing is incapable of hearing any differences. Why? Because it isn't science, it's religion. And rather than use their own brain and sensory faculties, they have found a guru to make all of their audio insecurities better by telling them what sounds good, or better, or best. They no longer have to obsess and fidget, they can just rely on their guru. Cha-ching.

Who wants to be a member of a forum where 100 people vote that an amp or speaker stinks regardless if they actually heard it or not?  Worthless

 

When an amp has poor measured performance that doesn't meet the standards set at that price point, who would want it regardless? I don't think anyone intelligent needs to drive a $100,000 sports car with an engine that dynos at 100hp to known it can't compete with similarly priced cars with 700hp.

When a GaN based amp measures and sounds better than what I already have, maybe I'll take some interest. But when we get to the level of amplification I'm currently using, the amp is no longer the weak link in the chain. The speakers, crossover and room acoustics are 100x more important. The only real area for improvement over what I currently have for an amplifier is decreasing the size. And that will only happen with advancements in power supply technology. 

Maybe the Manufacturer doesnt know anything about that Freaks n Geeks site. Who wants to be a member of a forum where 100 people vote that an amp or speaker stinks regardless if they actually heard it or not?  Worthless

Has he tested any amp with -115 THD+N @ 100w output? After Amir repaired the amp it measured as good as the module manufacturer's claim. So not sure what more to expect. 

"Amir's never measured anything that good." The ABH2 test well on ASR. Matched the manufacturer's specifications. Also someone in this channel said the ABH2 sounded good. There are people who like the ABH2 and those that do not. Everyone's entitled to like their sound. Someone should get another Voyager measured. You would think the manufacture would put up any counter to the measurements by ASR.
Wally would do "his" amp a service by sending ASR a properly functioning amp. In the end, I'll stay away from assemblers using off-the-shelf parts and stick with a real amp manufacturer. This amp designer dropped the ball using such a low switching frequency. What a waste of GaN's!

Oh well, but since you are so intent on showing Ric as a hack, Ill sell it to you for $3000 + shipping + paypal

So you can backup all of your claims of better performance you've been touting for 2 years. For all we know the channels could have a 10-20dB spread of THD+N between them. 

@amplifierdude

 

I don’t care for your tone... Rics’ #1 supporter? Why should I send my DUAL MONO EVS1200 to you... to accomplish what?

I’ll pass, but you can bring all your equipment here and play Mr Scientist

 

Here's how I like to see amps measure:

 

 

 

Amir's never measured anything that good. 

Tweak1, as the internet's #1 supporter of Ric's work, why don't you send me your modded amps to measure? I have a couple Icepower 1200AS2 modules I can measure size by side as a reference. 

I am amazed at some of the screeds here aimed at ASR. I'll take science and measurements over gross subjectivism any day. Craftsmanship also counts. Since somebody mentioned Biden and empty shelves there must be a correlation between the anti-science people who comment on the pandemic and audiophiles who disparage measurements. But in the end sensory perception is highly fallible and what is measurably most accurate may not sound best or to the taste of many listeners. Perfection is an abstraction. 

More religion from the tweaker Guru. Doesn't matter if it's "trust me" nonsense tweaks or "peace love", it's all the same faith based scam.

OMG, there are 30+ MORE OFF TOPIC comments since I said it’s gotten off topic; NONE of which have ANYTHING to do with Jay’s intention for starting this thread.

 

Chances are the mods will close this thread, which is a DISSERVICE to those of us who own a Voyager (and very happy), or others who were interested in getting one.

To those of you who never made a soldering mistake, or any other kind of mistake, oh, that would be none of you who are posting. The man in the mirror

Ric you are just as much to blame for subverting this thread as anyone, due to your insessant off topic contributions about love and oneness. How you don’t see that you do yourself a disservice as many who would have considered having you mod something for them are likely turned off


Isn’t this an audio forum? Your propaganda might be cute if you weren’t taking money from some, and making false claims about others. Save the frog licking experience for elsewhere.

Just careful with the tightness in the chest.  Nobody wants you to die. Just wake up. 

Reality is not a righteous ego (that is make believe).....but a loving heart (that is eternal and real......ask your mother). My sweet child.....I adore you....now....go to your room......he he.

Can you laugh at yourself? Can you smile? Who do you love? What is your highest excitement? The beauty of your soul is beyond words......incredible you are.

There is no they.....there is only us.....we are one. 

I love me, I love you, I love everyone, I love everything that exists, I love everything that happens (the stuff dancing) and I love every second.........this is the love of GOD.  Audio opinions are like a grain of sand on one beach in all the beaches of the universe.

Check out some NDE (near death experience) videos.....for people describing love and joy beyond their imagination......totally changes their life.

Wow you won the Guinness World book of records ultimate deflection from reality reward. Congrats.  Might want to stop with the "they's" and take some responsibility on your own. And I hope your followers are impressed

The righteous act that way to try to validate their worth.  It is because they do not feel worthy.  You CANNOT do anything to validate your worth.  You are already worthy.  When you hold a newborn baby......what does the baby have to do to prove its worth?.....you know it is worthy.....it has no ego....it is pure.....it is not righteous.....it is pure love and you adore it.  Same with pets....same with small children.  

Please treat yourself and everyone as your own newborn baby.  You are already loved....you are already adored....you are already worthy.  You don't need to prove anything....you don't need to fight people and act superior or inferior.  Every soul is pure.....no matter what they have done or not done.  It has always been so.

When you can see everyone is your child....everyone is your pet.....then you start to realize just how beautiful everyone and every moment is.  "Celebrate good times.....come on."

Offering $1000’s in services for free that could validate your worth, only made you run with your tail between your legs Ric. So that’s about all I can offer to you.

Thank you all for your egos.  May they rest in peace.....he he.  I do love your egos....but they are not necessary.   Only love is necessary.

Do you any anything positive to say?  Do you want to uplift someone?  It is possible to act with beauty and dignity.  Try it......you might find yourself smiling.

between Tweakie Ric the Scammer and the political nonsense, this site is a total dumpster fire.

So I stated 2 absolute facts:

1: Biden’s been a politician for 50 years.

2: The shelves are bare at my local grocery store.

In which I proved with a photo

Tell me the misinformation that was spread that warrants this topic being escalated to inflamed levels?

Which is what you did after hearing my accurate assessments on Biden. Which has now been verified to be accurate.

So the only 2 appropriate actions now, are either to apologize, or explain why you shouldn’t. Step up to the plate.

The distraction was started by you, lest anyone forget. Stick to what you know about amps.

The truth has a funny way of stopping the BS. Now that we’re past nonoise’s political distraction, let’s continue with comparing the modules in this amp with competitors. Such as the $68 Icepower modules. I’m here to help this community with my ears and measurement gear.

jerry, jerry, jerry, I see you're still at it, trying to play the role of Switzerland, and we all know where they stood. Like I've said countless times in other threads and even pointed it out just a few posts above, I asked him to stop with the political BS and countered it when he kept it up. So go take a cold shower.

All the best,

Nonoise

Why is it the same 4 people at the center of this political crap?

 

GO TO FACEBOOK YOU CLOWNS

I take it by the photo that you shop at Whole Foods, which has been experiencing shortages like the one you show since 2018 when Amazon bought them out. The empty shelves have been happening ever since. They prioritize Amazon home delivery over direct store sales and use Order-To-Shelf which doesn’t allow stocking of foods locally requiring deliveries to go straight from the truck to the shelf. Their employees hate it.

My local Ralph’s, Trader Joes and Gelson’s have had no problems since the early days of the Pandemic (that was over a year ago). Full shelves everywhere.

All the best,

Nonoise

All the best,

Nonoise

Has anyone out there actually heard this amp? I have, and it SOUNDS really GOOD. LISTEN to it.

I was referring to the shelves at my local grocery store. Not what's on the news. I took this picture today:

https://ibb.co/8r19zdT

 

Regardless I was just making a point  

I'd rather not give money to some dingdong for voiding my warranty. I don't know why anyone would want this thing for $3000. If you want a good class D amp there are plenty out there for less money. 

Biden’s been a politician for 50 years. And the shelves are bare at my local grocery store.

All the photos of bare shelves were from years ago and from different countries. That lie was debunked quite some time ago. Even the job numbers were cooked by a person imbedded by the previous guy to lie and make Biden look bad. Once exposed, they added over 600K jobs to the equation.

But by all means, keep up with the BS, or you can leave politics out of it and not look so dumb.

All the best,

Nonoise
