Reimyo Award Winners 19 December 2008      Some of the above images have larger
versions, please click over the images. The system as described is a purist; almost cost no object realization of designer Kazuo Kiuchi’s vision. Mr. Kiuchi is also largely responsible for the XRCD recording process that has received world-wide acclaim for bringing the traditional Red Book CD format much closer to its full potential. He is also an acknowledged master of audiophile “tweaking”, having produced for many years a range of seemingly expensive but extremely effective tuning dots, isolation bases, spike bases, cable elevators, signal cables and power cords. All of the components above have been reviewed individually, and are the subjects of extremely positive comments from various reviewers. This is however, the first time that all of them are reviewed together as a complete system. This is where the advantage of their system synergy can be heard in their full glory. This is truly a case where “the whole is greater than the sum of their parts”! High Fidelity - Best Product 2008 (pdf) Related Links: |

AMR's AM-77 25 November 2008       Some of the above images have larger
versions, please click over the images. If you think that all this is just wishful thinking, then think again! The AMR AM-77 is just such an amplifier and more. A truly sans pareil design, the exceptional 180W per channel AM-77 dual-mono amplifier offers pure, stable power with the ability to drive even the most difficult of loudspeakers with speed, precision, tuneful rhythm and utter musicality. Everything about this amplifier reflects the perfectionist approach of its designers. From the high quality brushed aluminum chassis that weighs 35 kgs, to the internal components that are chockfull of premium grade hand-matched and selected components, to the touch-screen remote control that is made of the same high grade aluminum as the main chassis. Even the packaging that it comes in consists of a beautiful metal flight case! No half measures anywhere, to be sure. The sound quality and overall performance of the AM-77 is already fully documented in numerous reviews by major audio magazines, so there is no need for me to go into more detail here. Just read the articles and come down for an audition if you still need convincing that it is half as good as they say! The units that we are receiving now are the latest 77.1 version with the following upgrades that makes a great amplifier even better! * Output Coupling Capacitors upgraded to highest performance German-made tinfoil & film type * High-tech GOSS Cores for the Mains Transformers * Higher tensile strength magnesium-aluminum alloy used for the chassis to reduce resonance further * Acoustic System tuned organic glass windows * AMR's own Gold Fuse used for all mains fuses. * Hardwired (not push on connector) mains inlet and several other mains connections * Silver Solder for all internal connections including mains connections * Upgraded PC-77 Power Cable * Upgraded AMR aluminum flight case design Related Links: |

The Raven Phono 10 November 2008      Some of the above images have larger
versions, please click over the images. When it debuted at this year’s Munich High End Show, Thomas Woschnick took me near the pair of horn speakers that he was using for demo and cranked up the volume knob, when no music was playing. The eerie silence that came out of those speakers was indeed impressive, to say the least! This would have been a great achievement for ANY phono stage, much less a fully tube design! Featuring 3 phono inputs and selection for 6 impedance settings (exact loading can be specified to optimize any cartridge), high quality point-to-point wiring throughout and using various proprietary components within the unique circuit, this phono stage is certainly not typical of the myriad offerings in the market at present. As for the all-important sound quality, it certainly doesn’t disappoint either. After our demo unit fully settled down, the Raven Phono was able to pull out some of the best sounds that I have ever heard from our analogue front end. So good, it very nearly rivals the built-in phono stage of the SGD 30,000 Air Tight ATE-2001 reference preamp! Anyway, I am not a reviewer and will not go into any further details of the sound quality, which is highly subjective anyway. Suffice to say, if you’re looking for your own reference phono stage and you’re prepared to pay a pretty decent sum for it, then you need to put the Raven Phono at the top of your list! It is currently on demo. Related Links: |
