” This is a good time to discuss a sonic bias that affects my observations here. The ARC preamps mentioned in this review have a unique sonic or tonal character that is different than heard from the Mark Levinson preamps or the Ayre preamp, or from many other brands. ”

” You’ll notice I haven’t said much about Class D vs Class AB. Many writers talk about the character and nuances of Class D and how they differ from the AB topology that’s so common in receivers and power amps.”

” There was authoritative grip on the bass, and the amp showed itself to be capable of handling the demands placed by the Maggies. Further up, there was no masking of the mids or treble with any suggestion of warmth or valve-like attributes, yet, there an an organic wholeness to the presentation that’s pleasing to even fussy ears.”

” Best of all in over a decade now, PrimaLuna has not compromised a molecule on build quality. They are still making gear that feels bank vault solid, encased in a dark blue, high gloss metallic finish that would do an Aston Martin proud”

“If music is a pattern, then we should be able to plot it on a graph, time on the horizontal axis, amplitude on the vertical. Indeed, that’s exactly what happens when we measure a signal or look at it on a scope.”

“f you want to pick holes in their performance you can point to a lack of spatial separation and absolute intimacy, a warm but subtly collapsed tonal palette, and a lack of physical volume to individual images. But to hear (or rather, notice) that you’ll need to be comparing them directly to some pretty hefty kit.”

“There were only two things I didn’t like about the physical design of the XPS-1. One was having the inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the case. This required me to curve one set of interconnects for my particular setup. I also thought the power indicator was unnecessarily bright.”

“To test my theory about LPs sounding better than CDs or high-resolution digital I compared Bob Dylan’s “Oh Mercy” SACD (on my Oppo BDP-105 Blu-ray player) with my original, 25 year old LP on the Pioneer turntable.
