As you might know, the internal wiring of this amp is made of Echole cabling. I can assure you that using external Echole cabling in combination with this amp gives amazing results. I think for the price of an Helix version cable you can also buy an Omnia Echole speaker cable.
I also think the Passion model is used. The combination of this version with the limited edition cables is odd. This realy does not feels as an revieuw.
I am however very curious about the type of tubes that Robert received from Australia. I am stil happy with my Signature integrated with de...
Have also tested the Sylvania 12AU7. I find them not so different from the RT tubes. However, these are not the tubes used in Munch. In munch the 12BH7a from Sylvania were used. These are much better than the RT tubes. There is also some difference in one or the other tube from the same type...
I have heard the Absolare / Rockport combo as well in Munch. Planned to go again this year to Munch. Again special for the Absolare stand. I might pick up some idea's there.
I got the integrated Signature. I am very happy with it. It is realy making music.
As far as finance is concerned. A Devialet 1000 Pro cost more than an Absolare integrated Passion.
I suspect that Kerim and his team might have tuned the amp on RT tubes, and even designed the amps with RT tubes in mind.
The Telefunken i bought were Telefunken ECC82. You must go for balanced ones, so volume left and right are equal.
At ebay you find them easy, like...
I have owned D-Premiers for a few years. I never bothered to upgrade, since I was happy with their performance.
The question is, what you are missing at this moment, and will the upgrade bring you that.
In stead of upgrading, I saved my money and invested in an Absolare amp. This after many...
I have no experiance with these cables. I did understand that Fono Acustica is very similar to Echole in its technique. They both use the same materials and unit halfway the cable I see Echole winning all kind of awards for its qualities on shows. Echole might be less reasonable priced. If you...
Continued with the testing. I did combine Brimar with the Telefunken, and it did give best of both. It gave louder low of the Brimar. It gave more push and detail of the Telefunken. I just missed the blacknes and quietnes in the sound. It was more hifi than high-end, if you understand what i...
I did test again the Telefunken. This tube gives more detail in high, but also gives more low then the RT tubes. With the DC rings on the tubes low is reduced, and fine. Low frequencies are now so low, you can't hear them, but already feel them.
I think because of the more detail, the sound is...
I have some single tubes, that were ordered balanced. I did some quick testing with one tube, and leaving one RT tube that came with the amp from Kerim. This because the RT tubes are very neutral, and perhaps the most true.
Combinations:
RT with RT gives a neutral nice result without...
Changing tubes results.
I heard the integrated in Munch in 2016. I knew already that this amp was something special.
Now I have my Absolare Integrated now for about 5 months. To be complete, mine is honey with brown stitches. It replaced my Devialet D-premier monoblocks. I can only agree to...
