Review 3 of 4

Summary:
This amp is amplification for my second system which usually plays background when making food. Power source is pretty good, as always on Rotel's ampfliers but I miss remote control which is missing, but it's great that there are only one little red light, it's not for flashylovers, it's look like expensive than it is. 921 is basic amp but if you have good speakers which need more power this is not your choice.

Strengths:
Slim look, no flash lights

Weaknesses:
No remote control

Review 4 of 4

Summary:
Source: Technics Discman, 1 bit MASH DAC, Noise filter, 4 DSP ModesSpeakers: Cambrigde PC Works (planning to upgrade to Tannoy Mercury 2.5)
Phones: Sennheiser 435

I am new to hifi, this is the first amp I bought. I listen on headphones a lot.
Okay 25 wpc is very wimpy to the people in AudioPhiLand. I would described it as small but juicy. It packs enough current to drive music thru most bookshelf speakers. When I listen on my discman with headphones the DSP was not very significant, the music sounds in my head. But with the Rotel driving the phones, Natalia Merchant and the 10,000 Maniacs came to "live" around me as the DSP becomes more prominent giving an aura sensation. The midrange is also more detail and I love the crooning of the vocals and the strings. Jazz does well too with Louis Armstrong's "A Kiss to build a dream on". However the bass evidently is missing some punch, but don't worry, turn it up on the tone controls.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
