50+ is when your hearing starts deteroriating rapidly but you finally have the money to buy stuff made for a teenager with perfect hearing.

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

About time. They were stuck in the 80's for a while...

[@enigmatwist6548]

Wish they’d stop putting DACs in everything, you just end up paying for something you don’t end up needing and the money would be better spent on upgraded components. Still looks very nice.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

Yep mostly agreed on that one

[@markjohnathanappleton8642]

Well said,so true

[@marcus1970]

I remember way back when I was 14 when Cyrus' first amp was launched.... 40 years on and they products look and ARE better than ever before... Even though there are plenty of options at these price points I think the range will sell well. Congrats on the Premier review.

[@gdwlaw5549]

great new designs! I thought for many years that the Cyrus products looked awful. I hope this will all trickle down to more affordable models too.

[@esaulungu6968]

I really miss your sound demos. They were the best.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

I did them for as long as I could, but there are so many issues doing them that it was too time consuming for no benefit to me really. I was the only independent reviewer doing them so it was even more work for me

[@middleman9183]

I hate touch screens. I'm perfectly happy with my existing Cyrus amps and will be for many years to come...........👍

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

These are not touch screen which proves that is the assumption or the general audiophile expectation for a product like this. It’s great because I have just been making a video about it :)

Cyrus, a true stalwart of the hi-if industry. This new range is sure to take grip and gain momentum. Impressive Cyrus! Great review Terry, thank you.

just a ES9039Q2M?? surely they can put in the pro chip for charging that price

[@jondu-sud274]

Looks sharp, well done Cyrus

[@malcatron]

I got a Mission Cyrus One in the late 80's then replaced it with a Cyrus 3i around 1990, later added a Power to biamp. 24 years or so later it's still going strong - good to see Cyrus entering a new era, I think they have once again managed to move forward without losing their unique design DNA. Hope it sounds as good as it looks!

[@Unicorn-ST]

Nice look. Waiting for review. They remember me my Musical fidelity hybrid integrated amplifier X-T100; CD Player X-Ray V8; and PSU Triple-X concept, that I complement with the headphones amplifier X-Can V8P that has the same vibe.

[@albinoewok]

Glad to see the amp has eArc connectivity 👍

[@zjzozn]

Very Nice 💫 Its a winning look. Time to buy a lottery ticket....... Just waiting for the 40PRE, 40PAMP (power amps) & the 40CP (cassette player).

[@Studioincar]

Great short vid, Terry. It's super bizarre that the Oasis Time Flies CD is the first disc I put in the 40 CD, I recognised it immediately and I had to rewind the video to double check!!

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

I bought the CD just for this, I don't really like the music at all, sorry about that

[@adsph]

Thanks for sharing Terry. Cheers.

[@jas.oncroft]

They have definitely upped their game, love the new looks. Didn't care much for the old styling. Great camera work as always. :) I hope you do more of this type of video as I find them as useful as a review.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

My channel has been slow for videos as I have been deep into testing and reviewing 4 Cyrus 40 products at once which might not seem it but its 4x the work. I created this video right at the start to offset the downtime I knew my channel would have and because this is such a change for long historied brand like Cyrus its a cool story. Hope that makes sense

[@jas.oncroft]

@@PursuitPerfectSystem I get it. I loved the video. I wish more KZbinrs would do this type of video. It was like a promo video. I liked it

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

Its because I am trying to do fancy video work ,the downside is a video looks like a promo video, but all my videos are the same, or hopefully they are getting better all the time. I could just sit there and read a script from an autocue on my phone but how boring is that, its boring to make that video well. Trying to create different cool visuals excites me these days and there is so much more I could do. My skills are not quite there yet but they are getting better I think.

[@jas.oncroft]

@@PursuitPerfectSystem well I think it's awesome. I get what you mean but I love the quality. New record day is also very high quality. Apologies if my use of words sounded negative. I meant it as a compliment.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

Not at all your right to question my motive, I don't take it personally because it was not written in a rude fashion that is so typical of comments left by people. People can say what they want but there is no need to be rude about it . Your good and thank you

Really enjoyed that, thank you 👍

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

Welcome thanks for watching and leaving the comment

[@Phil_f8andbethere]

Love my CD XT Signature, XP Signature Pre-amp and Stereo 200 Power amp. CD's just sound so natural - I can listen for hours and not get fatigued like some digital systems do. I can't believe they've brought this out to replace the XR series already? If so, there's going to be a lot of unhappy XR owners who've just dropped a load of cash on their system.

[@olavblom3024]

It's claimed very clearly in the video that the XR range is being replaced by these. During the summer in the Netherlands at least, the XR series were cut in price, or dumped, it makes sense now.

[@funkyhiccup]

@@olavblom3024AFAIK you can still get new xr components here in Poland, you can even buy new cd-i and cd-t players introed years ago. Evem new 8.2 DAc AMPS are available for 990EUR

[@hamidrezahabibi8111]

Finally they did the gorgeous new face. The last quote is from Carl Yung.

[@dougal445]

interesting the AMP specs appear similar to the XR series. I wonder if they will bring out a pre / mono power option in this series, seems Cyrus are opting to stay out of the middle to high wattage market these days.

[@nwpsys]

Terry, do you have any information on the headphone circuitry ? Is it pulled from the XR or an upgrade ok that ?

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

I don't I am sorry, I don't review the headphone outputs built into hifi out of principle. I know its not ideal but just being honest

[@P0_01A]

[@TechStuff365]

Nice stuff, having made in Britain flash up every switch on could get tiresome, it's also a bit needy. Minimalist and subtle used to be the style.

[@thestr8jacket1]

Can't really see what £4k gets you in that tiny amp

[@olavblom3024]

@@4879daniel not so much for their cd players, i 've sold several of their cd players ( i work in a hifi shop) and when they came in for repair we found out that the cd transport was not available anymore. For a 6 year old cd player that it quite shameful.

[@ptg01]

Wow... not too familiar beyond coverage by UK based reviewers... but will check it out when available.

[@dougal445]

much as I love the classic cyrus design, a face lift was required, if nothing else than to accommodate a modern user interface.

[@middleman9183]

Disagree. I hate 'modern user interfaces' whatever they are................

[@roa5359]

Holy crap, £4k for the little integrated! Get a ONE cast for a fifth of the cost.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

Its small in footprint but not in sound, it can hang with the bigger boys dont worry

[@roa5359]

@@PursuitPerfectSystem I’d like to see one open. I had a full Cyrus system with PSX-R’s. We are going back almost 20 years. It was an 8s2, with Cyrus tuner and CD player. I very much liked it but the problem was thermal shut down at prolonged higher volume. When the amplifier eventually failed I sold the rest off. There is only so much passive cooling a tiny case can do even with the casing acting as sink. Obviously not an issue with class D and for example the ONE Cast, one of my amplifiers. It positively thunders along in comparison. Other than that I love the Cyrus sound of their legacy products. Thanks for the review Terry.

[@agaskew]

As much as I love the new look and Cyrus products in general, there's too much touchscreen activity, I prefer knobs and buttons. If there is a decent remote control then that's great.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

Same I don’t like touchscreen these are not touchscreen so keep an eye on my reviews coming soon as I show all this

Where was the NAD made? Cyrus is small scale manufacturing in a high wage country so will always cost more.

@@4879daniel High wage country? what, the UK, most people are taking home less than 20K, spend 1/4th of that on one hifi component🤣 I bet Cyrus would rub their hands in glee if the sold 10 of these in the UK.😂
