had the chance to have sifu anfieldude calibrate my projector.....learned alot of tips from him
flat black ceiling was recommended by sifu as my original white ceiling has bad reflections back to my screen which affects my overall contrast.

after calibration

had the chance to audit a good integrated amp today....

thanks to sonerin for taking the trouble to bring the amp over....

first off....the amp is really heavy....needs 2 person to carry....single person can be dangerous

the amp can be used as integrated or power amp....which is a good flexibility to have should someone wants to add a good preamp in between

since this amp only accepts single ended interconnects.....i had to dig some rcas out.....managed to find some old Audioquest Topaz.....

after power on.....decided to let it warm up before i do any listening....

after 30 mins on decent volume....time to sit down and enjoy

first impressions of the music.....
the KT150s are fast and doesn't sound lay back....
its full of energy and music body is quite well balance

this amp is only rated probably 55watts or 60watts per channel....but it sounded like a 150watt amplifier....

it had good grip on my Cremonas......the only difference between this vs the ARC Ref110 and LS27 combo....

1. micro details
2. upper tail end extension
3. low bass extension and control

overall....this is still a very good amp as the comparison was against a much higher league amplifier

highly recommended for serious budget players.....it had no issue filling up my room with its power....

Today decided to try making ur amp as power amp and connect d LS27 as pre....


Sweet....

This makes ur amp a direct comparison with the d Ref110...

All i can say is the difference in headroom and very fine details

But this amp is a good in all angles as a budget good tube amp

For less than half the price of ref 110, is really something to praise

Yes unfortunately like all hi-fi but the price would depend on what you aspire to.
