“With the arrival of the VAC Signature SE, that changed. I spent many weeks listening to it, trying to describe how this preamp presented a more realistic reproduction of live music than any other preamp I’d heard in my house, but found it difficult to put into words. True, with every recording I played, the Signature SE gave a flawless performance—I could find nothing even approaching a weakness shortcoming. It produced an illusion of live musicians playing in an actual space better than any preamp I’d heard.”

” when set at 100ohms for comparison with the original (using a Roksan Xerxes-RB1000-Benz ACE-L red combi), the little improvements noted mirrored those heard with the MM setting. From experience, I already knew the ACE to not be too sensitive to loading, but I noted a higher loading could give an impression of a little more airiness. The effect is slight and the honest truth is that, in the context of this set-up, if I left the room and someone turned the little pots on the Plus to all of its 550-ohm upper limit, I probably wouldn’t notice upon coming back in”

“The evaluation of any audio product tends to begin with an overly analytical period in which favorite demo and test tracks are played to figure out precisely what is going on. Though in most cases this is a necessity, there is nonetheless a disconnect between how one responds to such an artificial situation and how one responds to the music — of which the reproduction for pure enjoyment is the reason we do any of this at all. I’m an album listener, not a track hound.”

“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. ”

” I fell hard for the original Parasound Halo JC 3 when it hit the market here in Malaysia some years back. I made the stretch to buy one and have been enjoying it since. As I’ve never been one fortunate enough to have a handful of different moving coil cartridges sitting ready to be mounted and played at any one time, and could not afford the exotic ones which were reputed to be particularly demanding of how they were loaded to give their best, the lack of MC loading options on the original JC 3, limited to either 47k or 100 Ohms, never really bothered me.”

” The M-900u’s power output was more than sufficient for Doug’s system, and probably for most listeners’. But in those rare instances where an M-900u won’t be powerful enough — say, with very inefficient speakers that are also able to play extremely loud, and need hundreds of watts to do so — a pair of them can be configured as monoblocks claimed to each deliver 600W into 8 ohms.”

” ; the preamp does its work at extremely low levels that, by themselves, are nearly inaudible; any noise it contributes will be hugely magnified further down the chain. As you may have noticed from my summary, nearly all of the technical features highlighted in the 740P’s manual are claimed to reduce vibrations, distortions, and noise of all kinds. Perhaps this accounts for the 740P’s transparency.”

” 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. ”
