wow.
Thanks for sending me deep into yet another rabbit hole lol
Here's a few snippets from around the world on the 60 grand euro SPEC, their 100w is a mere $5999, neither the wpc nor the price work for me
2019
‘Amplifiers SPECa compared to my reference system, i.e.,
preamplifier Ayon Audio Spheris III and power amplifier Soulution
710. I also used my notes and memories of the other tests, the
range-topping amps:Kondo
OnGaku, Phasemation
MA-1000, AudioPax Maggiore l50 + m50and
Thöress Dual Function Preamplifier + 845
Mono’.
Become however together
with You, in front of a special challenge – that a company known for still of
high quality, expensive amplifiers produced amp cost more, model RPA-MG1000
– this is one
of the most expensive amplifiers on the
market. It cost 60 000 euros device regular power amplifier, but in
practice is an integral amplifier. We'll come back to
that.
Importantly, besides the price, is
that the
amplifiers are SPECIAL working in class D. In the materials that I received in may 2013
during the exhibition the High End, it's the first time I met with the owners of
Shirokazu Yazaki you and Tsutomu Banno – present chief engineer of the company –
we find an eloquent picture, which shows the progres from tube amplifiers, known
as "generation" 1.", through classic amps of the semiconductor, i.e. "generation
2.", to the new amplifiers in class D, which is
3. generation of
amplifiers in General.
And we are not talking
at all about what the Lord Yazaki-San and Banno-San does not like lamps, all
exactly the opposite-they are the experts on lamps develop wonderful amplifiers
of this type. It is just that I see the benefits that new technology
brings. So they can be used for making any of this made sense to
approach the project the right way and choose the right
methods. For them, the key to achieving top-end sound from
semiconductors is their work in class D.
In the tested
amplifier was both types of capacitors. And this is because the SPEC gives the user a choice of sound
character. For the first time this possibility was introduced in
przedwzmacniaczu gramofonowym REQ-S1EX in 2013, but here taken to extremes. On a separate Board, after the filter in the output, we have
two groups of capacitors and resistors. One of them is called "musicality", and the second
"neutrality". This is not EQ color because it does not change the
sensitivity characteristics (measurement frequency characteristics for both
systems are identical) and changed the layoutthe character of the
sound. Between these two modes selectable with a small switch on the
rear panel.If for a moment to
discard prejudices – because of bad amplifiers in class D is a lot – and we will
focus on the basics, it may be easier to understand what it's wrote in the part
dedicated to odsłuchom.
