    Say "Hello!" to boXem Arthur series, Hypex and Purifi based power amplifiers

    Congratulations for a new product which push the limit into such a small candybox!!! I'm surprised today as I saw the new Arthur 4216/E2, but it seem the board specification still not corrected, is this the correct one "Purifi 1ET6525SA power stage"? And the power delivered in different load: In...

    BOXEM Audio | Arthur 4215/E2 Purifi Amplifier | Owners' Thread

    Quick update with the Arthur power amp experiment, my AliExpress C3850 preamp clone arrived today, it seem it sound a bit of bass hump with several gears matching in the process with best matching surprisingly is a MOTU M4, I don't know I feel this gear has very light sound based on my...

    Canton Reference 2023 - is it now Reference grade?

    Ahe interesting opinions, as there's always a summary for each of these famous brands, I try to not get obssessed with any of the models they produced, but clearly there's always a model worth invest in, either by accident or because of nothing is certain nature of how the world works. And...

    SMSL DO200 Pro arrived today: initial impressions review.

    Review your audio chain carefully, the thing mess up with the sound output are just few: speakers/headphones/amplifier, cable should not have any impact, while DAC I can agree slight difference with the amp matching taking into considerations. Also I confirmed that TV USB vs optical decoding...

    Canton Reference 2023 - is it now Reference grade?

    Ok lots of option, for the price I thought the March Audio Sointuva AWG seem not good enough in craftmanship, as for the above picture, I don't know, people are obssessed with glossy finish or what aha, I just shaking my head looking at it. Just need something like a piece of solid wood prefebly...

    Canton Reference 2023 - is it now Reference grade?

    Great suggestions, among the options, I actually like the look of Sierra LX, physically make sense to me, just traditional soft dome and wooden built. I can understand why speakers are designed in modern glossy finish square box not only because of cost, also less and less master in cabinet...

    Canton Reference 2023 - is it now Reference grade?

    Actually it's surprisingly hard for me to find an end game speakers which fit me now, moderate price, curve real wood veneer cabinet, must be standmount bookshelf...few other brands I recheck: ATC or Dynaudio, which is pretty darn power hungry, or perhaps a Spendor

    Canton Reference 2023 - is it now Reference grade?

    Thanks for your suggestions. I'm surprised that the Reference 9 is not flat neutral, ok the game can be played then, not that I'm looking for a dead accurate speakers to begin with, and I'm sure a lot of mess happen in audio industry, most indeed already lost in search and investigate for the...

    Canton Reference 2023 - is it now Reference grade?

    Following the discussions here, I believe the new Canton Reference 9 is a neutral flat speakers without any color at all? My next plan, most probably end game (well end the buy) speakers will be of 2 choices only: ProAc & Canton. The game will be played with some preamps coloring perhaps, assume...

    BOXEM Audio | Arthur 4215/E2 Purifi Amplifier | Owners' Thread

    Nope, I'm in Malaysia, I open aircond just slightly cool, not sure that's the reason, actually it's not hot until boiling egg like my Class D Audio SDS-470C, which I open the case and put few coins on the heat sink, the boXem amp just not cool, just a bit of heat, perhaps rougly less than 50...

    BOXEM Audio | Arthur 4215/E2 Purifi Amplifier | Owners' Thread

    Ok further impressions on the amp, after few weeks of critical listening I starting to like this amp, especially when pairing with the S.M.S.L SU-1 DAC the sound I hear is on another level of details, even my Wharefedale Denton 80 never sounded so crisp, I'm not going to complain just because it...

    Review and Measurements of Fostex HP-A3 DAC and Amp

    Yup that's what an entry level gear, surprisingly enough to satisfy me for years of listening.

    Review and Measurements of Fostex HP-A3 DAC and Amp

    Yeah I confirmed the distortion happened, but only if listening at very loud level, and most probably few songs noticeable if listen critically which we nomarlly wouldn't, we listen casually kinda, most music I prefer is of less than perfect mastering, and better mastering music tends to sound...

    Review and Measurements of Fostex HP-A3 DAC and Amp

    I confirmed almost 100% this device sounded not as accurate as SMSL SU-1, which is very revealing (well include noise or micro details), surprisingly the Fostex HP-A3 sounded smooth at higher volume, less aggressive compare to other gear like MOTU M4 which I thought a bit light punch but with...

    BOXEM Audio | Arthur 4215/E2 Purifi Amplifier | Owners' Thread

    Just got my boXem audio Arthur 4215/E2, first impression is clean detailed transparent neutral sound, thought that it lack of color might not everybody's cup of tea, nevertheless I do think that it perform well in scientific score.

    Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary Speaker Review

    Guess what, because "itchy" behaviour of human, I recently bought an boXem Audio Arthur 4215/E2 (Purifi Eigentakt), in the past I also owned an NAD M22 (Hypex Ncore), and in the long run I prefer the Class D Audio SDS-470C instead, this power amplifier has some unknown filter "magic", not to the...

    Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary Speaker Review

    To me, this Denton 80 surpass all new models whatever you call it, Denton 85/Linton/Super Denton, subjectively sound great if you able to find a great power amplifier that match it, most forgiving speakers for a wide range of music genre, not a distortion great figure beast, but it's really not...

    Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary Speaker Review

    I'm not sure what's wrong with your `scienctific` review, I'm with this only Wharfedale heritage model for years, 2 sets, older or newer models does not win me over and over again, always my cup of tea this model...and I bet 100% this is the only model that strike price, performance, and music...
