Elekit’s astounding TU-8300R Review
August 9, 2015 Comments Off on Elekit’s astounding TU-8300R Review
One thing really needs to be highlighted here: the Elekit is dead quiet. It’s so silent that some of my concepts have been turned on their heads as a result. The level of the noise floor (background noise) and self-noise that it does generate is so low that it’s less than most of the solid state amps I’ve used”

“All of this is also wrapped up in a very impressive spacious soundstage with above average width, depth, separation and imaging. Considering this is a 4 driver setup the soundstage is far superior to other equivalents such as the Westone 4R, tonally more engaging than the 3-way Minerva Mi-Pro and less shelved down than the W330AR from AAW using their stock cables.”

“I found no issues without having a gain switch on the ONE. The range of the volume control was very wide, so the ONE worked fine with both my Shure SE-425 IEMs and my Sennheiser HD-600s (I didn’t listen much with the 600s, but I wanted to be sure the ONE would drive them successfully). Battery life was very good. I did all my testing on a single set of batteries. While a rechargeable battery like all the other amps in this roundup is nice, good old-fashioned AAs have their advantages. If they’re flat, all you need to do is put in a new set. If one of the other amps is flat, you have no choice but to recharge, which isn’t much of an option if the plane is boarding right now”

“Remember when I said I’d never felt much need to upgrade my system? The QB-9DSD reinforced that notion while making a mockery of it. On the one hand, the rest of my system has never sounded better. On the other, without the QB-9DSD upgrade, I would never have known that I hadn’t reached the limits of what my system could do.”

” The essence of the Liquid Carbon was derived from design concepts originally implemented in Cavalli Audio’s larger Liquid Gold and Liquid Glass amps. In many ways, it is very much a true Cavalli amp. It’s just smaller, with lower power output, lower noise, and very reasonably priced. ”

“Also when it comes to comfort, the Cessaro Air one sets standards for the high-efficiency speaker world. If you ever tried to adjust a speaker-system with 106dB or more in the lower level ranges without using a resistor-based-20dB switch, you will appreciate our volume adjustment with 31 steps. This very one volume adjustment can be done directly at the device or by remote control.”

“Another myth that the Jadis helps to dispel, particularly remarkable in light of its fairly low power rating, is that tube amplifiers can’t properly reproduce bass. While the Jadis does not produce the very deepest notes, it excels at delivering prodigious and harmonically rich bass that has a propulsive quality. The sumptuousness of the Jadis, the drive, has to be heard to be believed—and frankly, until now I would have disbelieved anyone who claimed that a 60-watt integrated amplifier could output this kind of power in the nether regions.”

“In ultra-linear, the midrange was clear, transparent yet it still had beautiful tonal colors. Midrange notes did not stand out because the presentation was overly warm or romantic but stood out because of how well it was integrated within the musical spectrum. There was nothing over emphasized or over exemplified. There was no hint of roll off in the top-end. Cymbals, for example, had very nice shimmer without any hint of splatter.”

“The clarity of dialogue so drew me in that I sat down to re-watch a film that I honestly had no intention of watching again, much less so soon. By the second chapter, I was ready to proclaim Bryston’s Mini A and AC1 Micro amongst the best speakers of their size that I’ve heard in many a moon. Early in the scene, there’s a moment when a crazed anti-technology activist fires a pistol at Johnny Depp’s character. The night before, that moment hadn’t really resonated with me, sonically speaking. It was a bang. The sort of loud bang I’ve heard any number of speakers deliver perfectly ably in my years of listening. I might have jumped. I honestly don’t remember.”
