Published on 08/29/12 at 13:31How long have you been using?
- I have this amp for a little over a year
Did you try many other models before buying it?
I had more than twenty amps in my hands (for 30 years ..)
What is so special that you like most and least?
Advantages: impressive clarity, alertness, presence of instruments, ventilation.
Least, some taken its disjointed sound, the amp there is perhaps nothing.
At first listen this little machine, I stayed on the c ... and at the same time without knowing what to think. By placing myself near HP (JBL Control 1 Pro and sub amplified or Kef IQ 30) I had to after printing uen the tenor sax was actually in the room, feeling rare. There is also the speed, know well that concept live (and cause) and escapes some amps as if they were introducing a delay on certain notes. Hard to explain but two seconds of listening to it realizes.
It is this speed and precision that made me flash on him!
I think I know why: virtually zero distortion and astonishing performance make the power supply does not collapse! He has not the sweetness of some amps, but never bland either. For my part I like the neutral side, which does not peut_être please everyone ...
At the beginning, however, it seemed a little rough at times, but we can talk about hardness provided. Then, although I do not believe any of these stories breaking-electronics, I must say that I found that everything was in place. We listen closely or a little further, it is totally amazing times that box so that sound.
Of course, it is less than 35 W in standard stereo (8 ohms) and it will be a little hard to shake the KEF but considering the price, I'll probably take another. Not that I miss the feeling of power, but the clip can not be seen below the volume knob position ... With JBL, because the box has his amp and I listen to 1 meter, I never had cravings for power, against.
I weigh my words, this amp is amazing, but may need to be doubled (listening over 2.5 meters at a realistic (if you can, according to neighborhood ...) and gives me more pleasure than many amps I paid triple. You can go safely, considering its price. At worst, you resell no evil because I know I'm not the only one to love it even begins to be well experienced less fortunate music fans!
Once you get used to him and that he puts good sources (sound card EMU 404 USB, WAV or Flac sources only) give everything one would expect from an amp. Some old recordings going very well, even old mono remastered (with care!) But against certain music or ingestion have fiddled much emaciated sound effects.
For music I listen to, it's top general (jazz, classical, world quality, traditional music and so on, basically all music except commercial)
I leave the best for last: the highs are good but the bass is hell. Precision without dryness, it is so rare to have nice bass with small amps that I wanted to highlight. I do not know if this is the top, I know I bluffing for a ridiculous price compared to some.
I will one of these days I pay another, I feel.
