” With 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms available, (500 watts into 4 ohms and 900 into 2 ohms) the M250i takes a slightly unique approach in that it features a massive power supply and dual mono construction, yet instead of a large bank of output transistors as many high powered amplifiers do, the M250i uses only two enormous MOSFET power transistors, each capable of passing over 500 amperes of peak current. Their approach to simplicity pays off in spades – this is a very non solid state sounding amplifier.”

“Input stage of the amplifier is a class A emitter repeater working on a transformer. Then there is a more powerful driver working on a transformer too; the output stage is another emitter repeater. The output transistors are Motorola MJ15025, tree in each shoulder.”

“Regardless, there I was, at midnight, ahem, enjoying Bolero. And Keith Johnson’s excellent recording certainly allowed the VTL gear to shine. My Maggie 1.7s performed a pretty impressive disappearing act, with a stage as wide as the room and a depth that seemingly stretched far outside its rear wall.”

“I was told that the chassis of the units were B-stock but that the internal build parts were A-stock. They were running low on stock and wanted to get review samples into my hands. I appreciated this effort! Having units with a B-stock chassis explained why the cosmetics weren’t 100% perfect.”

” The V12 does a truly special job with voices, particularly female voices. There is a focus to vocals, with a secure wholeness that is superb. The envelope of air around vocals is very convincing, bringing to mind the real thing. I noted an absence of stray phase distortion that yields ambiance where ambiance does not exist.”
PURE AUDIO REFERENCE AND CONTROL REVIEW
April 29, 2015 Comments Off on PURE AUDIO REFERENCE AND CONTROL REVIEW
” I still fondly remember my time with my Plinius gear — and this gear from Pure Audio has clear roots in that history. And then it takes a giant step forward. The Control Preamplifier is one of the best I’ve heard — its only drawback, functionally, is that’s it’s single-ended only. The Reference monoblocks are killer and while they’re not as massive as the Plinius SA-Reference they seem to recall, that’s a fantastic thing and not a drawback.”

” The Parasound surprised and impressed me, in a good way. When I went to remove the relatively small amplifier from its box, the 275 v.2’s weight and solidity caught me by surprise, due to its incongruity with its size.”

” The first thing that impressed me about the sound of the Thöress 300B was its exceptionally good sense of touch—a characteristic I noted with virtually every record I tried, not just those that have a lot of plucking and banging going on”

“The experience we have listening to music at that “intuitive level” is rooted in primitive limbic functions of awareness — deep in our lizard brain. McGill University scientists observed that consonance and dissonance will light up the limbic systems responsible for pleasurable and negative emotions appropriately. ”

“Blue Sapphire’s heart and most important part is unique output transformer produced by Mr. Syomin’s hands by using high quality iron from South Korea and especially for this project. Each channel transformer’s weight is 12 kg (24 kg in total). Designer has decided to utilize the newest Russian tetrode KT-150 (Saratov) as output tubes solely after finishing the work on output transformers.”
