“The big brother in the Audionet amplifier line bears a strong cosmetic resemblance to the AMP. The footprint is shared in the length and narrow width, but the MAX stand half again as tall, and weight scales from 48 to 83 lbs.”

“The Alta-Audio FRM-2 speakers speak with a remarkably defined voice. I would be remiss if I do not mention that Ribbon tweeter and the very clear stage it can paint. The match between these two drivers determines success or failure. The difficult crossover between the drivers is virtually undetectable”

” There is more to the Kagura than unusual purity, transparency, and liquidity. The Kagura rendered large-scale symphonic works with seemingly limitless dynamic contrast along with a powerful and full bodied low-end. My reference Conspiracy loudspeakers has a nominal sensitivity rating of 92 dB and is relatively easy to drive, so they were an excellent match. ”

“Mids are more forward in the soundstage compared to the Earsonics Velvet. Like the Velvet, they are smooth, lush and inoffensive whilst at the same time offering a decent amount of clarity.”

“Listening started with the AudioQuest Diamond USB cable. This would turn out to be the best match, but before I reached that conclusion I tried various other cables. The Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 offered a more forward sound with a bolder character, but although I did like the Wireworld’s fuller bass, I found that it took away too much subtlety and refinement. ”

” While initially the dSP’s mid section felt quite tidy and immediate, sometimes that same immediacy felt a little to forward around the human voice. If vocals are your thing, than this subtly may not even peak your radar, but in my never-ending quest for balance, I found myself reverting back to pink noise tests to confirm that things weren’t being overcooked. The results were actually very reassuring”

“The speed and precision of solid-state plus the warm, textural feel of tubes. With products like the Virtuoso, I don’t feel the need to warm things up. The sound is controlled, but not so linear that it bores me. There’s excitability to the music, a lively-ness that’s engaging and fun – but also realistic”

” Regardless of how a signal will be delivered to Manhattan, it will deliver an orderly, well thought-through sound. Not to bright but selective and tuneful. Hi-res files, especially DSD ones, seem to offer slightly “softer” sound, more open, with more air. For me though, a classic CD transport still has some advantages, like coherence and liquidity of the sound.”

” The treble extension is much more natural and doesn’t sound coaxed or pushed thus creates a natural roll out rather than a forced impression. There is virtually no sibilance to presentation of the upper frequencies while there isn’t much in the way of harshness to the mid-range either. The Sovtec tubes still had a bit of hardness to the mid-range so the change in tubes is welcome addition rather than a subtraction.”

” Tied to this was superb tonal accuracy. The textures and harmonic colours of various instruments, piano in particular, were quite extraordinary. The instrument was always rendered with authentic scale whilst being extended, smooth and realistic”
