“Each product in the Sigma series is based on a small, standardized, and minimalist form factor. While Classé has shrunk the outer box, one look will tell you that these units have all the typical hallmarks and performance on paper that make them all Classé. Each component has exactly the same low-profile, custom-installer-friendly 2U chassis. ”

“The result of all this, on the specification front, is damn near biblical. The AHB2 generates 100Wpc into 8 ohms or 190Wpc into 4 ohms, is stable down to 2 ohms, and manages 380W when configured for bridged mono. It delivers up to 18A of current, and has a damping factor that tops out at 350. Its total harmonic distortion plus noise is a claimed <0.0003% at 1kHz. The signal/noise ratio is an absurd 132dB in stereo, 135dB in bridged mono. The AHB2’s crosstalk is better than -115dB at 1kHz, and its frequency response exceeds 0.1Hz-200kHz, +0/-3dB"

“Even during complex passages in the recording, all the instruments are placed precisely when within the space of the speakers, making it really easy to pin point different instruments used in the recording. This amplifier also has very good dynamics, making loud and soft passages easily distinguishable. When cracking up the speakers to a really high volume, the amplifier starts to show its limitations, making the Focal 1027Be hard sounding, losing out on its natural tonality when playing recording with instruments.”

” The first thing I noticed about the NuForce DDA120 was what a great all-around performer it was. It presented a large, convincing soundstage, excellent retrieval of detail, and precise imaging. There was deep, solid bass and good dynamics, especially considering that it’s a relatively small, inexpensive integrated.”

“The Munich show would be in May. This meant working overtime. At first we thought we could show final Swiss production units but that proved flatly unrealistic. By mid April however, we had built up our targeted five Brazilian pairs. My chassis fabricator was literally working night shifts and weekends to make it happen. Now it transpired that a very wealthy individual whom I know very well and who had sponsored this project from the very beginning had unexpected personal issues as things progressed. He had to pull out. Of course I understood perfectly. But now I was faced with how else to satisfy all the commitments I’d already undertaken. We quickly put our five pairs of amps in the car and visited audiophiles all over Brazil who were rich enough to afford anything in hifi that takes their fancy and who in general are deeply invested in and passionate about this hobby.”

” The M28’s sonic character perfectly complemented this recording, producing natural attacks, and rich, full-bodied sustain that created physical, three-dimensional images of the two violins, their textures and tonality intact. I think that the Soulution 710, whose sound has a bit less meat on its bones, would somewhat gloss over the textures that the M28 got just right. Even a diehard tube lover would be impressed.”

” This Quest review can hopefully be considered something of a precursor to a review of the almost mythical all-Audio Note system, providing I can persuade an extremely busy Mr. Qvortrup to send an AN CDT transport/AN DAC combination my way, but I believe the Myryad CD player used for the bulk of this review has at least demonstrated that it isn’t absolutely necessary to have an AN source to enjoy the delights of an AN system”

” The 032’s presentation is as refined as they come, and despite class leading resolution, doesn’t go out of its way to highlight shortcomings in the recording or partnering system”

” The Perla Audio Signature 50 has many superlative qualities to offer the music lover searching for an integrated amplifier. These would be its overall build quality, selection of internal components, materials used for its chassis, and innovative design strategies. When it comes to the Signature 50’s sonic performance, it offers one of the finest syntheses I have experienced in terms of offering both the transparency, speed, dynamics and control of great solid-state gear and the beauty of rich, dense tonality/timbres along with the air and three-dimensionality that tubes can produce.”
