Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Best in the 10 k price range so far if pair with harbeth speakers and is in a treated room.

Strengths:
Sound stage, holographic is very good.I confirm evrything the previous review said, the performance is very live, matched with a turn table it sings ....
The bass is perfect, the mids are never borring and the highs are realistic.
Case is very high quality.

Weaknesses:
For some people this soud is too much realistic, whatever you listen with it will captivate you for its good rythm and dynamics, forget the clinical sound of expensive hifi gear : that can be a weakness or a strenght. The sound is sometimes harsh in the upper middle range and electronic sounding overall : i still never heared a transistor amp with no electronic sound. The only thing this amp lacks compaired to 8 k tubes ones is this.

Similar Products Used:
Lavardin, audio research, dared, jolida, many others.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $2100.00 from Quest For Sound - Br

Summary:
This amp is very seductive sounding - of course with the right speakers - Almost tubelike without the neurosis. Articulates well and can ride a rythm forever. I would say this is best naim nait 5i that naim never built.

This amp is a treasure - it revels all the illusion of a great hifi product - another bargain that reaches well out of its class

Again, only use with a easier load type of speaker - ok with 4 ohms as long as load is easy -

A giant step up from the 5350 se with loads more class and refinemen!!!!!

Strengths:
Liquidity - Articulation - Soundstage - Bass

Weaknesses:
Must use with load tolerant speker

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.
