Why bought 2 PM6005 int amp ?

actually what is the price range of the emotiva? i always see ppl using it's product as power amp

it is a fantastic amp. But too bad local distributor and seller purposely mark up unreasonable margins due to greed.

In HK, Singapore etc, it is only about RM3.5k (as Malaysia ringgit dropping), but local shops want to sell more than RM5k. Something like Rm5.5k.

They are practising UXXX style. Suka you beli, tak suka go away. IMO, I will never support these greedy business culture and will insist to say no.

While there are many people who loves the Emotiva, my personal opinion is I just won't compare it against Marantz; Marantz is just on different level, but again that is my personal opinion.

Totally agreed with chanhin, local distributor marking up price too much.

wow, really so nice price?  

It seems CD6000 series always get 5 stars review from UK what's hifi

maybe warm up (temperature) is not the correct term

Then again from his statement, it seems like each time use will have to wait for 30 mins or more before the sound is good.

Hahaha... I only know the outcome, but do not know why.

For most people, as soon as it power up is ok. It was also 'okay' to my ears... until you compare to the PM8005 (keep switching amp) and you can find the PM8005 low freq is very power (dunno what is the right words for it, but really love it). As comparison, the PM6005 clearly lost the low freq part to PM8005. But after a while (maybe 40 minutes), the PM6005 actually perform much better when it started and the minor flaws that I notice disappeared. I replay the same sound track again and again to confirm it.

Anyway, as I mention, most people cannot tell the very minor imperfection at low freq part when it is power up. The sound is fine... But over time (less than an hour), it will improve the mid to low freq with much better correct response. I admit it is not that easy to notice any issue until I actually have other amp (keep swithing) for some critical comparison (flaw findings purposes) before I put my hard earn $$$ on it.

Again, I love the PM6005 until bought 2 units. So far the only imperfection is lack of USB input    USB wil be really useful. As of now for USB purposes, I am using another DAC that come with USB. But still, personally I do not like having too many devices, too many cables as well as more AC plugs.

I did check, it seems the PM7005 (more power + USB input) yet to arrive in Malaysia. Anyone know when it arrive?

100% agreed here.
Comparison across chipset only valid when all parties are designing based on top notch quality circuit.

Btw, do you guys feel that Saber 9018 sound a bit fake with too much 'details'? I mean not natural and might be an issue for pro-long listening experiences.

All Cirrus Logic CS4398 based chip or any particular model?
I personally think chip is only part of associated component before the final product, in which a good implementation of the chip will make a difference.

try not using the highest rate like 192khz. too balance and flat tone, no emotion.
it will makes some changes to overall natural tone

What you mean is audio track like 5.1/7.1 right?

want to change my avr to 6007 or 6008 but i think i'll stick with my LX 56 at the moment...

Emerald physics

I think I have a problem with the Phono connection on my Marantz 1250. These seems to be a crackling and humming on the right set of speakers. Any ideas on how to eliminate this issue lads?
