” The DC-37 digital to analog converter is characterized by the same level of craftsmanship. The DAC manufactured by Accuphase works best with high-resolution files, especially transferred through the USB port. When the DC-37 is matched with a good-quality music player such as Arender X100L or Auralica Aries, they constitute an exceptionally pleasant system that can be further expanded in the future by adding Accuphase transport to play music from CDs and SACDs using the HS-LINK.”

” Such presentation of bass is quite characteristic and slightly different from the №383. With the №383 there was more content. Everything was deeper and more vivid. In the case of the №585 the beat is faster and, I would even say, clearer, but shorter and it decays faster. This is, however, what we pay so much money for.”

“The PMA-50 was ergonomically very good. It ran cool, even as it was left on 24/7, and was compact enough to make it easy to fit into any system. My only complaints are I wish the remote was a tad bigger, and that the display on the front panel could be enlarged. Other than that, the PMA-50 is really a very well designed product.”

” . For that you need to up your budget to something on the order of the much more expensive Vinnie Rossi LIO integrated amplifier. That one produced a more full-bodied sound, with greater soundstage depth with the SB-C700 speakers. The SU-C700 amp is decent, I just wish it could bring out more of the best in the SB-C700 speakers’ sound”

” First whispers of Telos 360 gravitas reached me from Rainer Weber and Jürgen Kaiser, designer and owner of Kaiser Acoustics respectively. They’d stopped by after having departed Goldmund’s Geneva facility for their trip back to Germany. Particularly Rainer was still giving off a veritable glow after having heard their top speaker on the new Swiss amps. Being scheduled to eventually review the very demonstrator pair of Kawero! Classics they’d left in Geneva, I was set to hear the same combo when Goldmund’s Rodolphe Boulanger announced joint car delivery of amps and speakers”

” Personally, I am firmly in the former camp. Some years ago I wrote that I was done with solid state – for me it was rather akin to the feeling one gets sitting under a fluorescent strip light – it’s illumination alright but it’s a long way from sunlight. It simply feels un-analogue. ”

” You may recall a reference, in Stereophile’s May 2014 issue, to the Raven Audio Spirit 300B Reference Mono amplifiers. Like the ghosts in Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw, the Monos hid in the margins of the story—the story, in this case, being my review of Raven’s Spirit 300B Reference Stereo amplifier—yet never came into the open. As it happened, during a very brief trial in my system, both Spirit Reference Monos produced distressing noises, and a wisp of smoke curled, ectoplasm-like, from at least one of them.”

“Since the IDA-16 plays DSD256 files, I had to try the unit with one of them. So I cued up the only DSD256 I had available, Howard Hanson/An American Romantic, from High Definition Tape Transfers (highdeftapetransfers.com). On the first selection, “Nymphs And Satyr Ballet Suite,” performed by the Rochester Chamber Orchestra with David Fetler conducting, the recording of this attractive tonal music showed very well developed instrumental harmonics and punchy dynamics. If the notion of 20th century American music sounds scary, fear not; this music is well-crafted and (to my ears) actually pretty.”

TRIODE TRV-88SER INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
May 3, 2015 Comments Off on TRIODE TRV-88SER INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
http://goo.gl/WoDLkd Read Here
“After quite a cross-section of musical genres, the Triode TRV-88SER is a real musical performer. If there were a weakness it may be in the upper frequency ranges, lacking a little detail and ‘sparkle’ for want of a better word, and only if I was being very critical. It more than makes up for this however with its performance across the whole frequency spectrum, particularly the tonality, presence and control of the lower frequency region.”
