    A quality LPS is the biggest single upgrade to my sound( having already spent thousands on the rest) but I would recommend against American products for two reasons 1.£50-60 of your money goes on import tax not in the product. 2. We in the UK not to mention Europe have amongst the most respected manufacturers on Earth. Although I don't have the Chord myself almost all LP come with interchangeable connectors or supply Qutest specific models . PS I chose the Sbooster mk 2 and it is wonderful and runs utterly cold to the touch.

    • @SmallRoomAudio
      @SmallRoomAudio หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the message and thumbs up! Unfortunately personal circumstances have meant the channel is paused at the moment - but hopefully back when things calm down! My advice for the Nilai is that nothing touches it at the price (assuming you need that much power). Purifi is better if you want to go the home theatre route simply because the bass has more punch. The M23 is the refined version of purifi and I’d take that over the base Nilai, but only if they were the same price! The Nilai is more natural sounding to my ears, dead quiet and undoubtedly the future of class D. I would use a nice preamplifier to tweak the sound to taste. I’ve tried it with a few, and do like a chunkier meatier tube pre like a Prima Luna, audio note - however - it also sounds fabulous with a passive pre such as my Kosmo, then it’s utterly pure and clean. A great bit of kit and I highly recommend it.

    • @SmallRoomAudio
      @SmallRoomAudio หลายเดือนก่อน

      The preamps for this review (from memory) using my Luxman 595 pre-outs, Kosmo passive, Schiit freya+, various dacs and streamers direct into it, including bluesound etc. I really liked the two extreme ends of the scale - either passive for purity, or tube for meat on the bones and lushness. Your speakers and taste will dictate which way to go. Hope that helps!

      @@SmallRoomAudio again, thank you for sharing this. I’m in fact seeking a solution for audio only. If going down the power amplification lane I will start by using it with a passive pre or direct into Eversolo A6 Master Edition. In the future I think tubes pre will be my way to go as I lean towards a more “romantic” sound instead of the analytical path, hence my questions on the class D sound signature. Enjoy your time off.

    I’ve had Eaton’s for a while now. The ‘slightly metallic twang’ to vocals as pointed out in this vid is more than slight to my ears, it’s a problem. Looking on the net others have noticed this and have sold them on for this reason. A lot of old favourite albums have become a little or very painful to listen to, Bowie’s vocals on Hunky Dory, Ziggy, Diamond Dogs now make me wince for example. Iggy Pop’s vocals on Lust For Life sound really bad and early Queen is unbearable. This is not on all albums I should add, there must be a certain frequency or frequencies that sets this off. Or possibly some distortion that sets this off. I have a McIntosh MA5300 amp driving them with vinyl and digital sources. I wish I could do something about this uncomfortable treble as I love everything else about the Tannoys and this vid describes them really well (apart from the smoothing over poor recordings comment I can’t personally agree with that). I wonder if it’s the design of the Tannoys or if my system is now highlighting flaws in recordings.. too much ? Or if the Tannoys are highlighting the etchy grainy sound some say is a quality of all solid state amps ? The treble controls have been up and down countless times. The speakers have been moved around my room endlessly, the grills have been on and off.. and that metallic treble will not go away.
