| Kinki Studio EX-M1 So much high end gear sounds great with good recordings where most of the music I love simply doesn’t fall into the category. The Kinki has a unique gift of finding the best in these recordings. Of course they don’t sound as good but still remain ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Best of Sabbath, streaming from tidal M.I don’t have a MQA Dac but my Bryston BDA2 is doing ok with it. At 150 on the volume for the past hour and a half. Little heat, hearing no strain or congestion and on some tracks it’s the best Bass guitar ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Come on.....everyone should have tubes. Lol. Just looking for some of that voodoo magic that some tubes bring to the table. My wife likes my 300b so we did some side by side comparisons. My version of blind as she didn’t see me change things over.... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I haven’t had a lot of luck with the TEO cables in my system. Worked reasonably well with my 300b but really no screaming hell especially considering the money asked. I wouldn’t try another pair. I am playing the Kinki with Zu speakers which are ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 My understanding is the amp is class AB but runs in Class A for the first few watts. It is my understanding there is more heat running class A. My speakers being 100 dB the amp will only need a few watts to operate thus it should be running class ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I have the Teo cables running from my phono pre into the Kinki. No synergy whatsoever. The Kinki is otherwise becoming quite fluid after about 40 hours of run time and seems to like copper wiring in my system. My ZU’s are likely a big part in my b... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Doesn’t like my liquid cables. Very strident no bass. Back to copper and the world is good again. This breaking in thing can be strange at times. Everything seems to evolve and suddenly bass is muddy. 1 hour later everything is back on track. | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Now 15 hours in lots of changes. Everything has denser tone and things have become a little more relaxed. Space has developed a sense of 3D. This is a nice sounding amp. 300 hrs of break in.... 295 to go. Nonoise did yours keep evolving past 150. | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Still breaking in however. | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 One of the areas that is very obvious over the other integrateds I have owned is in the volume. With others I have always had an issue with the entire band coming up in volume in a balanced way. That is to say very quickly either the mids and treb... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 d2girlsBrothers of a Feather- Robinson Brothers of the Black CrowsLive at the Roxy-I have listened to this Album a lot but I embarrassed to say I don’t know the name of all the tracks. Two guitars, two vocalists, two back up female vocalists and t... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I just received my Kinki Amp purchased through the American distributor and all went without issue. He was great to deal with. The amp arrived well and all is good. This is a solid piece not a sheet metal box. Though the fit and finishes are very ... | |
| Natural sweet spot in your system. So here is my system. Zu Audio Def, Allnic 300b, Bryston Bda 2, Laptop. Zu speaker cable, Audioquest Water RCA. Core power 1200 on Dac only | |
| Natural sweet spot in your system. It is amazing how good the system sounds at certain volumes and how it turns to utter crap 15- 20 dB later. I have heard that many volume controls are at fault for this as well. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ben Harper , Charlie Musselwhite, No Mercy in this Land |
