| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? First, since I wrote this I discovered a noise problem that might or might not have to do with the LSA, don't know yet. It could be the tubes in my preamp. I will follow up today and post the results. The LSA is second hand, not new. If it is the ... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? Hi Ric. I’ve been doing this comparison without the tweaks I bought. After I‘m sure I have a handle on the character of the LSA I will add them back. Then I will likely send to you for mod. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @rc22 @snapsc @yyzsantabarbara @niodari @lewinskih01 @ricevs First impressions, and a qualifier: My comments relate entirely to my system and my sensibilities. Both the AVA 225M and the LSA Voyager GaN 350 are superb amps in my opinion. These... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @snapsc When I had the Alma-Sphere monos I had not yet acquired the Fynes. The KEF Reference 1s that I was using at the time need a lot more grunt in an amp than the Fynes. I no longer have the Atma-Spheres here to compare to the LSA. Listening... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @pehare A dealer loaned me a pair of the Atma-Sphere GaN monos. They are indeed very nice. Interesting that they have a big toroidal transformer, the only D I have come across that does. I could eventually end ups with a pair. Just wish they had m... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @rc22 what are your new speakers? I bought a Pair of Fyne F1-8 a couple of months ago and I am loving them. They very easy to drive - 6 ohm minimum impedence. Every amp I have tried with them has done well, but of course some are more satisfying t... | |

| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? I bought the used LSA Voyager that was advertised in US Audiomart. It has not been modded. Should be here Saturday. This will be interesting. Stay tuned. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? Out of the box - i would say 90% of what i have owned over the last 30 years - sounded really good if you can say that you still like them in 30 days - then those amps are special I don't entirely disagree with you. It does take some ti... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? Received my Van Alstine 225M amps yesterday. First impression: If listening straight out of the box is any indication, these are going to be very musical amps. There is a little bit of an edge to dynamic peaks - if I am lucky this will fade as the... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @atmasphere Thanks for the explanation. They are due here tomorrow, so we shall see. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @atmasphere OK, Ralph, gonna put you on the spot. I wouldn't do this except that you sort of volunteered. The A/Bs I'm talking about are the Van Alstine DVA M225 monos. Surely you know Frank and his products. Care to comment on his matching GBP to... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @mrdecibel Thanks! Yes, looking for that lost chord. The Bel Cantos are close though. So many choices. I’m very curious what good A/B brings to the party. If this doesn’t work out it will be GaN of some flavor. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @niodari Just got a notice that they have shipped. Fingers crossed! @tweak1 I ordered a couple of add-ons from Ric. Other than that I will have to see how the amps perform. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @niodari I like what I’ve been reading about the M225 monos, so I’m going to see this one through. I will report back. Might be a couple of weeks before they ship. |
