Musmy a75 clone (not a review)

[Yeth]

Im also considering getting this clone ...it has some of the looks I really love, and reminds me of my time with my late dad and the audio world we lived in. I find it gorgeous and will serve as a external fir my lesser serious 2 channel listening space. As you pointed out, to have some fun. Besides, if "all amplifiers sound the same" then its perfect for my needs. I have never purchased anything without a serious research of measurements, so I'm still debating....yeah, I could just get the purify class D from buckeye, but ... I'm leaning towards this one ATM. Thanks so much for sharing. Ket us know your impressions when you have tested it and pushed it a bit.

I just bought one, thanks to this forum. So many people laughing at the chinese amp saying they are soooo much better than those who buy copies xD I just couldn't stop myself from buying it. I will not post any sound measures because I don't care. I also don't care it looks similar to Accuphase amp, tbh I would prefer a black one instead of this 'golden' look on the front. I will only say it sounds better than my Akai AM-95 Reference Master (fully rebuilt with new capacitors matching original ones etc.) with my Dynaudio Emit M20 speakers. I'm extremely happy with this purchase. Just mind to research the shop you are buying from - there are fakes of this clone on the chinese market and I've seen people posting they received such a fake and that it sounds bad. I bought mine from a shop with multiple positive reviews of this amp (one even stating it's not pure A class due to low temps but still sounds great).
One more thing - they fixed the wording - it's PEAK now

Probably just in general, no one is really buying this because they think its a accuphase 1:1 clone, it has good specs, sounds good and looks cool. I've spent a lot on speakers r11 metas and mofi 888's but I dont think I could ever stomach spending $10k+ on a power amp lol I bought this because I was curious, all 3 products I have from Musmy have been very good quality so far.

imagine how crappy all these new mini TP3255 amps must sound too since they are sometimes less than $100.. cant possibly sound worth listening too!! how wrong many would say about that statement too.

I think its a little annoying to have people bashing these units when so far havnt seen a single negative said. the reviews say the parts are better than many many amps I have opened up and looked at. I myself pulled my Parasound P5 off the wrack within the 1st hour of listening to the 2860+ preamp. it was that good.

some of these peices are a year old now and still kicking so unless I hear of all of them dying I dont get the hate.

its my understanding the patents ran out on these amps/preamps so its ok to take the info and make a similar amp. Sure they are using the Acuphase name to draw attention to their amps/preamps but I dont really know what else they should do . Ive seen titles on other chinese made devices and its hard to draw my curiosity in without mentioning a name people associate with goodness. I dont think anyone thinks any of these are exact matches. with all the reviews it appears they have better than entry level capacitors and lots of capicitance to spare. I havnt seen a negative yet.

how does the single unit integrated sound compared to the pair next to it. I want to say the review I saw said the all in one sounded slightly better. could be wrong.

so much hate & bashing to these chinese "clone" amps... if you haven't actually tried one yet & don't care for these line of products, then I don't see any point to voice out your negative assumptions LOL. For those of us who are willing to give it a shot, I doubt there's anything any of you can say (opinions based on assumptions, without actually having tried these products yourself) to convince us otherwise. I've acquired 3 Musmys products already (2x E406 amps, 1x C2860+ preamp) and they have all worked flawlessly so far since May/June of last year... almost daily use.

I have not compared the amps to anything high-end, but I've done some A/B testing versus:
1.) Yamaha A-S701 integrated amp
2.) Emotiva BasX A1 monoblock amps
3.) a couple of Marantz & Yamaha Aventage AVRs

The Musmys gear sounded superior versus all of the products listed above (medium to high level listening)

I just wanted to chime in with my experience. I saw a lot about the musical fidelity A1 clone and i never tried a true class A amp. I was worried with only 20 watts of power while having 2 floorstanders > B&W matrix 804. Coming from a NAD 214 this 'clone' just is a lot better sounding to my ears and in my small living room it has way more then enough power. The internals also look fantastic especially compared to the internals of the NAD 214... And best part was it came in 3 days for a total of 185 euro's.

People mostly don't realise how little power is actually needed in most cases.... often what is more important is how the amp behaves into reactive loads, and the varying impedances that many real life speakers have...

In days of yore... the 1970's and 1980's most pundits recomendations were that for a high fidelity setup, you needed to have 25W or more (RMS, @8ohm)

I really don't believe that this has changed over the subsequent 40 to 50 years.... although nowadays, we have an enormous wealth of available power, at very very low prices....

But anyone that has done the sums (Speaker SPL sensitivity, distance from speaker, listening SPL at MLP) - will typically find that normal continuous power usage is around 1W, and peaks typically don't even get to 20W....
