You can't judge anything going through a Mic then into your own speakers. A is KEF because B is bright and spitty in comparison but I know that tweeter. I'm using $250,000 speakers and $600,000 in amps, pre, and DAC to hear this.

Hi enjoy your reviews a lot. Which one performs better for holographic sound at low volume between the KIN PLay and the Technics SB-C700. I can get a pair at almost the same price of these and i wonder which one i would pick up

@DigitalPhilosophers 5 күн бұрын

@@ThierryG01210 Thanks! The first thing that came to my mind is the difference in bass. The Technics needs an amp that is either quite powerful (Unico Primo) or emphasizes bass (SU-GX70). In terms of holographic imaging you can surpass the KinPlay by using a great chain before the SB-C700. The only thing you can fine tune with the KinPlay is the source and the room (assuming nobody would buy two passive slave speakers of the KinPlay). If you can get your hands on a Totem Sky grab them without blinking. They are as small as the two options mentioned above and excel in every aspect. The last amp I would recommend the 700 with is the SU-G700MK1 since that amp sounds very thin at low volumes. In contrast I recommend Arcam for listening at low volumes. In class A mode at low volumes the SA20 and the Solo Music MK2 are very enjoyable at low vol. Satisfying bass and treble without sacrificing the voice of the singer which is still beautifully present

Hallo! Habe die Chance einen wenige Monate alten Vincent SV 500 für 570€ zu kaufen. Als Lautsprecher habe ich die Elac DBR62. Kannst du zufällig etwas zu dieser Kombination sagen. Alternativ käme ichfür 200€ an einen Rotel A8, aber ich habe ein wenig Bedenken, dass dieser zu wenig Leistung hat, da die Elacs nicht grade die effizientesten Lautsprecher sind.

Im trying to pair the best amp i can for my newly refurbished Epos Es11's. It took me a month of weekends but i finally finished them. I have $600 for the amp. Its going to replace an Anthem Integrated 225 that does NOT pair well with the Epos. I have the options of an amazing preamp with a huge Class A 80 watt power amp. I can get a Chinese clone Naim 250 with the preamp. I can get a Densen beat b-300 with that preamp. Or a Vincent Sv500. All options are same price. Dont know what way to go. I just need it to have amazing synergy with my ES11'S. I cant choose lol

@gerlachsieders4578 Ай бұрын

Digital Philosopher, I think you are right about this DAC. It has an excessive emphasis on the midrange, I guess more than how Vincent tunes the analogue part of their amps. And indeed, at the same time parts of the music spectrum is lost, like the midrange is emphasized but at the same time flattened. I can illustrate this with a cd, ‘The Very Best of the The Eagles’, it’s an digitally remastered album released by Elektra. On my neutral Hegel H95 this album sounds just the way I love it, with a lush, creamy and rich midrange. Especially the song One of these Nights sounds to die for. To make this clear, this is not to the credit of the (neutral sounding) Hegel, but how the album is tuned. However, through the DAC of the SV-500, exactly this creamy and rich midrange is almost gone, it sounds utterly recessed, hollow and flat. All that goodness that I love gone, yikes! It’s about time I upgrade my CD-transport so I am considering the CD S1.2 by Vincent. This is actually a tube-based digital hub, with digital inputs for say a streamer, a Sanyo cd mechanism etc. Plus the burr brown 1796 DAC and circuitry from their original separate component DAC 1. Digital Philosopher, do you have any thoughts and input about pairing the analogue part of the SV-500 with the digital S1.2-hub? Any thoughts what its synergy may sound like? Anyways, all the best DP, kind regards Gerlach Sven.

@@DigitalPhilosophers DP, I bought the amp thru Sowell Audio, a registered Vincent-dealer here in the Netherlands. I am truly flabbergasted. I have had my eyes on this amp for a while, but because it’s an outdated model, I explicitly asked him - face to face in his studio - if there was an upgrade on the horizon: he wasn’t aware of any…. Anyways, thank you kindly for your support and sound advice, I’ll contact Sowell this week to make deal on the new MK model. In case a deal falls thru, can you recommend me a separate DAC that pairs well with my present SV-500? All the best, Gerlach Sven.
