| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Hey Mike,If you say the Jay's Audio CDT-2 Mk II sounds no better than your music server, that's quite the compliment. Conversely, can it be said that your music server sounds no better than the transport? If so, for those of us who stubbornly insi... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier It states over at vinshineaudio.com that Mike now handles No. American sales and servicing of equipment and to please buy from him as of 8/29/2018.

| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier I believe @teajay compared the EX-M1 to a $30K T+A and found the T+A to better it in air, separation and imaging but found it to be it's equal in the base. Not bad company to be in. He should have a review coming soon. All the best,Nonoise | |

| Deleted Threads by Admin?? @hifiman5 ,I completely understand, but since both of us noticed it, it's not hard to see how the mods picked up on it as well. Maybe going up the ladder of abstraction and using a more generalized term of reference instead of a talking point or m... | |

And, mrdecibel, the designer of my now, sadly gone, Tonian Labs TL-D1 speaker was of the same mind... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier No, mine doesn't have the high/low gain switch as it was the first version. After living with my Marantz, which I had to turn up at least a quarter of the way before I could hear it, it's nice to have it come on with great resolution at around tha... | |

| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier I didn't have to pay any duties. The EX-M1 doesn't appear to be on the tariff radar as of yet. 👍 | |

| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? Try Cabledyne. As much as I love the sound of Tempo Electric, the Cabledyne Silver Synergy SCs have the tightest focus regarding imaging I've heard in my system. Their a natural pairing with my new Kinki integrated and are very well made. They wer... | |
| Amp upgrades under $3K for bookshelf system Take a look at the Kinki Studio EX-M1. I recently got one and it's exceptional at low level listening, has wonderful soundstaging that's just as detailed and robust at the sides as the center, and has over 215 W per side. It's the most resolving a... | |
