One performance characteristic is the dead quiet background. It provides a truly blank canvas to paint audio portraits on, capturing subtle nuance and detail. The other noteworthy area is the bass: dynamic and solid while simultaneously being exceptionally tight and detailed.
ZANDEN AUDIO SYSTEMS MODEL 8120 POWER AMPLIFIER
September 16, 2015 Comments Off on ZANDEN AUDIO SYSTEMS MODEL 8120 POWER AMPLIFIER
We are collectively so used to the ‘language’ of audio amplification, that if it’s absent then we miss its accent, just as if you habitually take sugar in your tea, you are instantly aware, almost before the drink reaches your lips, if that sweetened taste sensation isn’t there. This Zanden allows us – or more properly, invites us – to enjoy a paradigm shift. Instead of viewing the recording through the lens of the system playing it, this amp advances the perspective, revealing the music through the window of the recording.

BRICASTI DESIGN M28 MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIERS

Bricasti takes this one step further/better than the Seta Buffer: the M28 monoblock pair has matched user-configurable, fully analog, fixed-attenuation settings built-in. That is, each has a Buffer On Board, though Bricasti calls it “trim control”. From the manual:

Bass is this element of the presentation one will notice at once and appreciate it. It is a deviation from a perfect tonal balance but it was done on purpose and in such a way that it does not have any negative “side effect”. One doesn’t really feel like there is any emphasis in the sound. One plays any newly bought album knowing that one will be able to listen to the whole of it and not stop listening mid first piece to quickly sell the album on eBay.
Linn Majik DSM Integrated Amplifier-Network Music Player – Review
September 11, 2015 Comments Off on Linn Majik DSM Integrated Amplifier-Network Music Player – Review
” These should be the speakers’ “ideal” positions, according to Linn — that is, where they sound their absolute best. From there, the Linn has you place, and measure once more, the speakers in their “practical” positions — they assume that listeners will have to contend with furniture, television stands, equipment racks, and other space restrictions. The Majik DSM crunches some numbers, then spits out a profile for the lowest frequencies (10-200Hz) that adjusts the speakers’ frequency response to offset the various room modes. Linn promises that the Majik will then deliver, from your speakers’ “practical” positions, the sound you hear from them in their “ideal” positions. Cool, right?”
Mola mola kaluga class d monoblock amplifier Review

“Whilst a nice achievement, Bruno had just gotten started thinking outside the box. He realized that the negative attitude audiophiles hold about negative feedback had nothing to with feedback per se. It had to do with the amount of feedback applied and how linear or not it operated across the bandwidth. Classical negative feedback goes heavy on the low frequencies and decreases as frequencies rise to create distorted treble which caused the bad audiophile rep we’ve all heard about. Bruno’s next goal became a circuit that would exploit feedback in a new even more effective way and thus would apply it also equally across the audible range.”
MARK LEVINSON NO 585 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $21,595 REVIEW
September 5, 2015 Comments Off on MARK LEVINSON NO 585 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $21,595 REVIEW
” I had no qualms with spatial and imaging issues in our very soundfield-friendly testing room. The 585 behaved the way most excellent amplifiers do in this room, providing a soundstage with very good width and depth and with precise image placement that was unchanged by volume level. Easy report — excellent performance here too.”
Cyrus Audio Stereo 200 Stereo Amplifier -Review
September 5, 2015 Comments Off on Cyrus Audio Stereo 200 Stereo Amplifier -Review
“All of the amplifiers mentioned above had plenty of dynamics and bass control to spare. The larger, class-AB Parasound looked the part of a muscular solid-state amp, and had the fullest, most robust bass. It also seemed able to play a bit louder than the two class-D designs, though not by much — and all three could play louder than I could comfortably bear for any length of time.
Audio Tekne TFM-9412 stereo integrated amplifier review
September 3, 2015 Comments Off on Audio Tekne TFM-9412 stereo integrated amplifier review
” True high performing high-end amplifier should be in as much as possible in absence of distortions and odd harmonics being introduced. Imai San for a change talks and elaborate on something, that I’ve been repeating for many years and across of many of my reviews. When we’re talking about the true natural sound transients and dynamic impact there is on half way of doing thing. Audio reproduction must be of the highest grade”
MOLA MOLA MAKUA AND KALUGA review
September 2, 2015 Comments Off on MOLA MOLA MAKUA AND KALUGA review
” The combination was certainly able to produce high sound pressure levels, make no mistake. The frequency range they reproduced was wide and reasonably uniform.
Starting with the bass, it was quite extended but I have missed some control across the entire bass range and especially in the upper bass/kick drum area where the Kalugas sounded somewhat lean and anaemic..”
