And don't forget prices on their site do not include VAT for EU countries, that is added extra on cart. So total real cost is almost 7,000 Euros and 7,500 for the monoblocks for EU customers
It is possible, as the 595A SE can easily drive the kantas, to push it higher than the 30W in pure class A you would really need to up the volume a lot, at a level that i dont think i ever did.
Well, since there has been a lot of posts in this thread and i actually got several private messages asking on what amplifier i ended up getting, it's best if i update it.
I ended up testing several more amps, since the high frequencies continued to be extremely fatiguing to my ears. I was...
For the 2K price tag they really should have put out a larger screen. I guess they're counting on the hype of the A6 to sell a lot of A8's without making much of an effort
Regarding DSP/EQ, unfortunately my TEAC UD-701N preamp/dac/streamer doesn't have the possibility to make those adjustments, and i think i cannot use a hardware EQ with it. (please do let me know if you guys think there is a way to connect it). If that's not the case, i think the only way...
If it ends up being option no. 1 when i'm talking about using an amp to emphasize the mids, there are several possibilities, like, for example using a tube preamp. Your suggestion is also another possibility.
And let's get something out of the way, i haven't ignored any suggestion. At this...
Well, i have yet to receive the Timekeeper's, so i still cannot give any new updates regarding that. At this moment and after doing a couple more testing i currently only believe in two possibilities:
1. The Kanta's need a amplifier that has emphasis on the mids to sound it's best (to my ears)...
I think i have already explained myself more than enough that it was definitely not the case. And me wanting to change to a new amp is because i do not like the sound of the teac with the Kanta's in my room. I already have the Kanta's for quite a few time, and know the room they are in very...
That was a typo, of course i meant the NC500. Did not know there were already implementations of the NCx500 for sale in europe, so that also might be an excelent option. Thanks.
Basically the first blind testing was using the TEAC and the Uniti Nova with the Kanta's on the same space with the same db's. It's actually important to note, that for them to be in the same db's the TEAC has to be cranked to 78-79, while the uniti nova only has to be in 60-61 volume. On...
Yeah, the thesis of me prefering some sort of distortion part, was specifically applied when i first received the teac ap-701 and being my first experience with class D.
As things stand, and with the different testing, i clearly believe the easier-difficult load to be what's at stake. But will...
