I have been hunting this audio note for years, but usually when it appeared on the market in good money, I simply did not have a budget. It’s hard to find any negative opinions about it. Initially, I was only worried about 10W because I was afraid of how it would handle my speakers at the time, but we’ll get to that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

And the class, EL84 – probably the most musical lamps I know, topology se – and it turns out that, just like in life – the simpler the better.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Here it is available in the LINE and PHONO MM versions. The phono amplifier is very good. Not sensational, but better than most devices on the market for 3-4k PLN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In combination with SUT, we can also use MC inserts and then even with a 5-6K budget on the secondary market, it may be difficult to break this connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is, of course, not an ideal amplifier. 10W theoretically limits the selection of speakers quite strongly, it is also not the most transparent and precise device I know …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

But what if it’s an extremely musical amplifier.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

First of all, with a mega vein to play, with a nice springy bass, secondly, with a very nice full color in the midrange. Thirdly, it is open, the game is spatially, but not glamorous, it is a bit warmed, but not drenched.

In fact, from the very first moments, I liked him terribly, even though there were triodes in my house earlier845, 805, 300B, 211, or devils<\/strong>inSingle Ended<\/em>, so the constructions are much more respected in the audiophile world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The midrange has a lot of this sophistication, mal\u015bnie\u0144, and flavors on vocals and instruments, but it does not sound rachitic, thin, light. It is full, fleshy, but at the same time natural and pleasant to the ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The double bass works like a spring, the plates are heard well, the space is good. Great vocals – women’s shine and life, and men’s seriousness, hoarseness and mass.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For fans of listening sessions from YT, I link a few videos from these combinations, and for skeptics, short descriptions of these sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
