‘Don’t be in hurry in judging the Manley 500 monoblocks. They need a long and patient run-in of about one hundred hours, during which you will have all the time to appreciate the gradual sound improvement and learn how to live with them happily”

“The M500 ultimately paved the way to a better descriptive handle on the Theorem’s core essence: ballsy below the waist with a creamy-cool midrange and top end. Think: 500g rump steak smothered in mushroom sauce.”

“I ran my well-used set of Sennheiser HD650 ‘phones into the DAC-V1 with my Marantz SA8260 SACD player again connected to one of the optical inputs. It didn’t take long for me to grasp just how superb this headphone stage is – the clarity and detail levels are as good as anything I’ve ever heard from a dedicated headamp, while dynamics are delivered with an authority that needs to be heard. Interestingly enough, the sound quality from the DAC-V1’s headphone stage is much more like the traditional Naim sound I’m used to – slightly lean but oh so fast.”

“Its sound is best described as a warm with a bit of midbass emphasis. Lower treble is smooth and quite linear but where I hear in the upper regions in great detail out of the AKG K3003, I have to strain to make out and only faintly in the Fidue”

“Overall, the MF2550 SE has a very dynamic, extended sound. Those of you who remember the company’s early solid-state amplifiers and who did not experience the Premier 350 will be stunned at just how spectacular this new amplifier sounds, especially considering how well CJ is known for vacuum-tube amplifiers.”
