” After that, on practically every recording tried, the VTL amplifier brought unexpected pleasures. It could bring out the best in a silky-smooth audiophile offering – like the Mozart Clarinet Concerto with Musical Fidelity boss Antony Michaelson as soloist, engineered by Tony Faulkner in the acoustically favourable Henry Wood Hall. Here the VTL was gorgeously light, airy, and spacious with a truly delightful string sound and a beautifully clean and open bass end.”

“But when you hear the sound of your favourite LPs, as reproduced by your favourite phono cartridge operating through the Allnic H-1201, you will instantly forget all about resistance and capacitance matching, because you will be so thrilled by the incredible purity of the sound you’re hearing, to the extent that it will likely be as if you’re hearing the music for the first time. The H-1201 retained everything I love about vinyl: the incredible realism of the stereo staging, the precision of the treble, and the organic, rich sound of the bass”

” Unfortunately, when it comes to performance the news is not so good. There’s a real lack of energy in the Technics’ performance, with poor rhythmic drive that often leaves it sounding confused and disorganised. Upbeat tracks lack punch and momentum and softer recordings sound dull and not engaging.”

” Audiophiles can be horridly anal about things like meters, and I’m sure the discovery of the needle on the amp hovering to the side of dead center would be a cause for alarm to some. All it takes to quell fears that the Pass Labs X600.5 is not in operational disease is to scan the images on the Internet, where the needle of the functioning amp is seen most often not centered. So, go ahead and lay that irrational demand for a perfectly vertical needle on the Pass Labs meter to rest.”

” The AV5000 was the first piece of electronics from Yamaha that I have ever had the pleasure of using. Yamaha has constructed a competent and highly flexible amp that is capable of adapting to event the most complex of set-ups.”
Benchmark Media AHB2 Achromatic Audio Amplifier Review

” Not only is the AHB2 tonally convincing, but it is quite dynamic as well. Depending on the recording, vocalists and instruments sometimes virtually leap out of the speakers and into the room. And, because of its extremely low noise floor it is very good at excavating previously undetected low-level details and nuances. I believe it is the purest sounding and lowest noise amplifier in my experience. Is the AHB2 the “perfect amplifier?” The truth is that it could be when paired synergistically with certain components and speakers.”

“The 200’s built-in DAC utilises a PCM1792 DAC chip which allows upsampling up to 24-bit/192kHz. DAC and amplification circuitries are in direct proximity for extremely short signal paths. Also onboard is Devialet AIR, a Wi-Fi streamer compatible with “all formats” and which accepts streams from music stored on a computer, tablet or mobile phone (via free Apps for iOS or Android). The system is also compatible with internet radio services such as Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn and many others.”

” Streaming a 24/96 FLAC of Mark Knopfler’s Privateering via this setup shows that it doesn’t feel the pressure when partnered with kit picked from a few rungs further up the audiophile ladder. While I can clearly hear the contribution of the MF amps as they drive my speakers with greater authority than the Sony’s inbuilt amp can muster, the quality of its hi-res DAC shines through”
