| Kinki Studio EX-M1 All's quiet on the Western Front. Except for the EX-M1. 😄It's coming along just fine. Blossoming more here, going deeper there, opening more in the backstage. It's all good, if not great. It's taking longer to heat up to where it's hot to the touc... | |
| Plinius Hiato vs MA9000 vs Hegel H360 (powerful integrated amps under 10k with 200 watts) Check out the Kinki Studio EX-M1. It's rated at 215W/channel into 8 ohms and doubles into 4 ohms. The amp's designer modeled it after some of the best Swiss amps out there and you can have it for around $2200.00. I wrote a review of it here and th... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? What you want is bass control and not necessarily, bass extension. If your speaker is rated to "only" 44Hz, the in room response should be fairly good, if not great, in the mid 30s with satisfying results. All the best,Nonoise | |

| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I thought there was a standby mode and an operating mode. It states in the manual that it will take 20-40 minutes for it to sound it’s best.I used to leave my Marantz on all of the time for it to sound it’s best but with a draw of 30-40 watts whe... | |
| Cable Burn In Where did I put that can opener? | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Can we also add, The Walking Cable Dead Thread? 😄 | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Thanks Al for the reassuring insight. I just came back from getting a small fan to attach to the rear of my media stand and aimed it directly at the top/back of the amp so I can cool it off should it get too hot. There's 3/4 of an inch above the u... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Thanks @almarg ,I have a question for you about this integrated even though you're not thoroughly familiar with it. It states in the manual that it's optimum operating temperature is 40º C or about 104º F. Would that indicate a sizable bias into C... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 mboldda1,Sorry, but the manual that I downloaded doesn't state a 4 ohm rating.If you email Alvin at vinshineaudio.com he will respond with whatever info you need regarding the unit. If he reads this thread, he'll respond soon enough.All the best,N... | |
| Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018 Check out the Kinki Studio EX-M1. | |
| Aftermarket Fuses It would be so nice to have that political thread up and running. That way one could compare the logic and arguments used in defending one's position and see a correlation to how they're being used here.One side's view is based on what's right in ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I just wanted to note that the English version of the user manual is now available as a download at vinshineaudio.com. There's a touch of humor in it where what's mentioned that's in the box, along with the amp is an "el cheapo power cord" with th... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? So, maybe my solid, soft annealed, silver, single core speaker wire with no terminations in an oversized jacket (making air the primary dielectric) is a good way to go after all. It has higher conductivity than copper and a less granularly crystal... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Tim,I fully understand what you're saying. It's just that it's hard sometimes, to discern intention from behind a keyboard. Sorry if I seemed to overreact as I meant it to be open ended as best I could. 👍All the best,Nonoise |
