New Class D amplifiers

I have had Walter's Voyager Amp in my system for a couple weeks.

The sample was eventually sold to another audiophile with a great system.

I compared it to my Pass Labs INT25. The extra power did improve the bass

response. I think overall it is a great value. I may get a class D Ganfet for 

bi-amping.

I have heard the Aavik, Orchard, Atmas, Bel Cantos, LSA Class D sound.

If the Borresen people find it palatable, I can't imagine we are far from

seeing it everywhere. 

But for now I will stay with my friend Nelson.

Can you explain the differences between all those class d amps you heard? Which was the most musical?​​​​​​

No I can not sorry. I was interested in knowing if any were better for my ears

than my Pass amp. Except for the Bass punch that was a no.

As I hear it Pass and Luxman Class A solid state amps

still hold the most magic. 

But Class D Ganfet is making the differences subtler.

I would like to hold a shoot out of Class D Ganfet amps

to include: Technics, Atmosphere, Orchard, AGD, Bel Canto, LSA,

and possibly others. In an A/B format. Audience voting preferences

would decide which moved up to go against the next.

Starting with the lowest MSRP seems most logical.

If Aavik agreed to provide one it could be last.

At 2-3 times the MSRP it should win. 

Refinements?? Suggestions?

I could hold this in either Seattle or the Bay Area. Or both.

I can't try anything as I had an accident when I was moving it with the lid off, but resting sideways on top (plugged in f course... the top fell in and it crashed into one module  creating BIG sparks. Fortunately, I was able to drop the EVS1200 in its place until I get it fixed. Im not in any hurry as the EVS sounds amazing

...and therein lies the problem.
