I have been using my Cyrus One amp for 7 years and I am very satisfied with it. I listen every kind of music, but classical (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, etc) and New edge music (Yanni, Vollenweider) the most. My Cyrus One is ideal for that kind of music.
I have compared my Cyrus One amp with amps other manufacturers, but for me Cyrus One is the best.

Energy, drive

lacks subtlety compared to newer rivals

Exceptional performance given price paid. Lacks refinement, but makes mincemeat of most £500 intergrateds when it comes to sheer frills.

Well defined sound, simple straightforward no frills pure sound.

Headphone Socket at rear of amplifier.

For quality sound reproduction, without the gizmos and gadgets, then look for a second user Cyrus I or II. There are quite a few for sale as second user and extremely good value for money which just goes to prove you don't have to spend a fortune to bring real quality sound into your home. I have mine running with a Mission DAD7000 CD Player and Mission 770 Speakers and the sound quality is excellent in all respect, there is plenty of mid range, a crisp and visible high end coupled with a detailed and full bass. I'll never understand why Cyrus put the headphone socket at the rear of the unit, but I can live with that ! Undoubtedly the best £40 I ever spent !

Yamaha Natural Sound Amplifier

Powerfull and precise sound, exellent stereo image and sound quality, simple, relatively cheap.

Speaker connectors, RCA connectors, no headphone connector, sound could be a little softer.

An ordinary Bipolar-transistor stereo amplifier that gives 36W@8ohm (one chanel loaded) So it's 2x30W which is enough for most speakers. The best sounding amp i have had so far, very well worth the price.
