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

“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..”
HEGEL H160 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $3500- REVIEW
August 30, 2015 Comments Off on HEGEL H160 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $3500- REVIEW
” Let me say clearly that I’m not suggesting that this beauty offers performance on par with the big boys at five or ten times its price. The Ypsilon SET 100 Ultimate amplifiers, particularly after extensive upgrades performed by Demetris Baklavas in March, ascend into the empyrean sphere of musical reproduction. The Boulder 2050 amplifiers, which clock in at close to $100,000, are also in a different sphere.”
CONSTELLATION AUDIO HERCULES II STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER £85,000 Review
August 29, 2015 Comments Off on CONSTELLATION AUDIO HERCULES II STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER £85,000 Review
“That speaker choice probably means big Magicos, or Wilsons, or YGs, or some equally top-of-the-tree transducer. Yes, you will get to hear what a pair of extremely good standmounts can do when fed the best possible signal, but if you have that best possible signal, you should put it to good use. Source wise, Constellation’s own ‘stellar’ contributions notwithstanding, you will be in the upper atmosphere of digital or analogue, at top dCS, Metronome, or Meitner levels to realise the potential of the Hercules II. Ultimately, the Hercules II is a world-class product and should be used in among its world-class peers.”
Audio Tekne TFM 2000 + TEA 2000 Integrated Amplifier and Phonostage Review

” divided my listening sessions into three groups. For the first one I used only the amplifier, for the second only the phonostage, and finally I listened to both devices together. I won’t give you three separate descriptions though, as I concluded that there was no doubt, that both devices were created by the same man, with his very distinct sound philosophy. Also the best results were obtained when I listened to both devices together.”
BALANCED AUDIO TECHNOLOGY VK-3000SE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
August 28, 2015 Comments Off on BALANCED AUDIO TECHNOLOGY VK-3000SE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
” BAT VK3000SE is a fine piece of integrated amplifier that will be best suited for vocal centric music pieces such as Jazz, Rock and Pop. The idea of getting the best of both world between tube and solidstate implementation make this a good deal in a single piece. I would highly recommend that both tube lovers or fans of natural organic sound to consider this. However if you are a speed enthusiast or have a taste for dimmed tonality, this may not apply.”
Rogue Audio Stereo 100 Tube Amplifier Review
August 26, 2015 Comments Off on Rogue Audio Stereo 100 Tube Amplifier Review
” With the Rogue 100 female vocals came off very well and I believe male vocals actually improved a bit from what I recall of the Medusa’s renderings. Recordings from Jack Johnson, Hugh Laurie, Sean Hayes, Greg Brown and the aforementioned Mose Allison all hit the mark for full and natural sounding vocal presence. This is a nice treat compared to what many other amps provide.”
Onkyo’s A-9010 amp Review
August 22, 2015 Comments Off on Onkyo’s A-9010 amp Review
“The A-9010 sounded clean and clear with music and movies, even when I pushed the volume way up. I played a few LPs on a Pioneer PL-30-K turntable, first with the turntable’s built-in phono preamp, which sounded fine. But when I turned that off and switched over to the A-9010’s phono preamp, the sound grew more dynamic and the bass filled out.”
