I agree with you - it was a difficult test because it jumped between the four options so quickly but I liked Nobsound silver best as it was clearer and it turned out to be closest to the direct from CD.
Thanks for the effort for making this video, it goes almost 10 minutes and then you say „this one is the winner“. But the gist of the matter is why(!) you come to that conclusion, what sonic characteristics is that made one to be the winner? What were the traits you were comparing them on and how were they weighted by you (f.i. Treble/Mids/Bass, Holographic Soundstage, Detail separation, natural voice reproduction, Sybilance control, Noise floor, etc)
Cheers! Best sound, stereo separation and frequency response - as I wrote. If in one hand I get what you mean, on another I tried to keep it simple and do not influence the viewers opinion too much. This will be heard in different systems and everyone thinks and hear different. I did a blind test and opened my eyes on my favourite. The video reflects that. Again, I tried to keep it simple. Also don´t forget YT sound quality has never been the best and the 2 chinese are not very different if you listen on a cheap system. Cheers.
@@ourafilmes Let's face it....they are ALL good! Love Portugal btw...was there a few years back...mmm...the food...making my stomach growl right now. Great atmosphere...great people. Take care.
The only difference I could hear was the black Nobsound in the center, but it was not that obvious. It may be either my headphones or that I don't like the techno type music. I'm on the fence either way because I was hoping there would be a bigger difference between the 4.
too bad you didn't spend more time on the conclusion! I would have liked to hear why and what tubes you used! What is the difference between the 2? I see one used one less tube. what tube is eliminated over the other? thanks
@@ourafilmes I did not realize that you used the same tube s on all. I thought you were rolling tubes... But I'm still not sure which one won? is it the Marantz 7 or the Shigura Wada version? thank you
The black one for me, bit less top on the tp and bit less low on the silver. just enough to give me the very slight smiley face response effect on the ns over the other two. But I did like it.
Hi. You can find some music here in the playlists - for example: Speaker Blower Records catalogue. My website as a musician is down... I forgot to renew the domain... You can find stuff in sbrecs.net but I closed the online store due to lack of sales. Not many people interested it seems... I stopped making music as I was going crazy with little rest but I am slowly coming back! Cheers from Portugal!
It is a very interesting theory with the different brain waves, but the sound tracks are absolutely not suitable for HiFi listening. It made my brainwaves edgy and my back end itch 🙂

Cheers! It sounds great indeed! Thanks for watching.

analog can give you goosebumps
yes!
First off...props for video quality and effort...well done. To me...I'd have to give it up for the Nob NS...just had a little bit more air and punch.
Thanks for your nice words. Yes, both Nob sound very good! Cheers from Portugal!

I will choose tubes over ANYTHING !
Circuit is also very important!
Sounds like a hawkwinnd track at the beginning
Love this Video, really good made - greetings from Germany 🙂
Thank you very much! Cheers from Portugal!

What do you mean? All tubes used were the same type for amplification but the preamps use different type of tubes for cathode follower.

@@kululv Grey one is the winner.

I like both but prefer the gray because of stereo separation - much better in my opinion!
Interesting. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Ok, bro
Ok ok
What ALPS potentiometer was used in the Shigeru Wada
I am not in town right now, I do not know from memory.
Excellent! Where can I get your music?

Which sounds better in marantz7 vs Shigeru Wada?
The graininess of the sound.
Good one. Thanks for watching!
Yes noob was warmest
I really enjoy that one!

What a trashy sound to test vacuum tubes.
Vacuum tube is not a source
Thanks for watching!
