SCIBER AMPLOI Amplifier Review

[shuppatsu]

I’m sure it can be drop-shipped without issues using a Shahed drone.

Range might be an issue, but I’m sure they can work something out for neighboring countries.

The rumor is it might be in the works.

 

[daniboun]

I searched the web and found absolutely no information on this manufacturer... if anyone has any information to give me, I'm interested....
@amirm. Any data to share about this ?

 

[amirm]

Sure. Here you go: https://amploi.ru/?lang=en

They have a nice white paper on the design that is pretty readable with machine translation.

Hi All! Thanks for your comments and attention!

Yes, it is high priced due to strictions and because it was our first project, which was made locally and not perfect in terms of economics.

But from an engineering point of view, we put a lot of effort, time and resources into the development! We used many of our own unique developments and tried to take into account all the little things. For example, the amplifier has all kinds of protection - from constant voltage at the output, from short circuits on the terminals, from overheating, from power supply problems and even from static discharges on the connectors.

Bytheway, this amp's production is going to end soon, making way clear for new devices. So, it may be discounts )

And Thanks a lot Who leave politics aside this thread!

We love to create, not ruine!

This 64 w is enough to use in typical east european flats. For big houses it is recommended to bridge amps to get 220w.



The amplifier has a fifth-order correction and other unique solutions. There are not bare chips.


If you listen on $50 speakers, you're right. But some people listen on more expensive speakers. And there is a big difference.


That's right! )

Keep going. This is a good design. You really just need to fix your supply chain and assembly process to make things cheaper. If you can find a way to keep this high quality but bring the price down, that would be great. Good luck to your whole team.

Remarkable amplifier in its own right. Only its reduced power, according to the usage criteria of our time with inefficient speakers, could raise eyebrows. But anyone who has speakers with an efficiency equal to or greater than 94 dB could consider purchasing such an amp. Which is nevertheless much too expensive. But on the manufacturer's website, we can read that a user compared it to a very expensive and even less powerful French Lavardin amplifier! It seems that the Moscow hi-fi market is geared towards ruinous audiophileism where so many products are expensive and mediocre... so in this context, this amp is in its place... In any case, I read the white paper and their explanation of linear power supplies versus SMPS: these people are serious and the performance achieved by this amp is exemplary... Proof that class AB still has room for improvement...

Can’t help but appreciating that a Russian product has been included into the group of reviewed models. I am pretty sure that not all Russians are evil persons.

Has the weight of that unit been mentioned before?

How about the optical material finish quality, @Amir? The look and feel?

I never said anything about evil. I'm just saying I take more than specs into my evaluation.

Some seem to still be catching on but please avoid politics here.

Thanks!

Would it be a fair comparison of this cyber Sciber amp to the 3e Audio A5 @amirm reviewed this January.

Interesting question. An often expressed view here on ASR is that all amps sound the same (assuming not defective and operating with their performance envelope). I, for example, hold this view. From this perspective the answer would be: yes, it's a fair comparison.

However, there are others who admire superior engineering and may be prepared to pay for it. There's some differences specific engineering people like. Some people are keen on high reliability, with all the design for MTBF that, I guess, allows for example Bryston to offer a 20 year warranty. Others like to see pristine electrical bench test results, for example those of Eigentact, Benchmark and this amp. In any case, from this perspective the answer would be: no, it's not a fair comparison.

What's your perspective?

Me? I prefer a Yamaha A-S801 because it's got loads of great features and costs less.

 

[Sal1950]

What's your perspective?

I take everything into consideration when looking at gear. Cost vs performance is one thing but reliability is a big consideration. Appearance can also mean a lot but that's a very personal bias, what I like others may hate. I also strongly believe in buying products that are made locally and supporting your home economy when ever possible. I will gladly pay 10 or 15% more to know my family will have jobs available in the future. I hope the powers don't see this as a political issue, it's not.

In this particular case (it's already been mentioned earlier in this thread) we have a cheaper and better and local option already available. From a respected engineer who provides excellent support for his products. And also, BTW, an excellent kit option for this type of multi-chip LM3886 design.

Modulus-686 Safe-n-Sane

The Modulus-686 is a 2-channel audio power amp for home stereo and home theatre. It provides 200W into 4Ω at extremely low distortion for the cleanest audiophile sound.

Modulus-686

Audiophile composite amplifier based on the LM3886. Just as the BPA200, it uses six LM3886 in bridge/parallel. It uses error correction to ensure the lowest distortion possible.

I’ve got one of Tom’s Modulus 686 Safe-n-Sane builds; great amp, with SOTA performance and no concerns about reliability given Tom’s high quality manufacturing focus.

 

[Marc v E]

Weird amp imo. I'd rather have an avr for 1/5th of the price.

 

[RalphB]

You can't beat Benchmark AHB2 approach. Beefy transistors with controlled bias to minimize crossover distortion.

If I was in the market for an amp today, I'd find it hard to ignore the Buckeye Class D amps at what amounts at 1/3 to 1/4 the cost.
The biggest negative is the very unattractive casework but at the price you might be able to overlook that.
