    Just a little bit of feedback. The Kinki's are really very good and punch way above their price point, they are definitely keepers, but they are also the most noisy. There is a persistant hiss presumably from the power supply or some other source. Kinki themselves have got involved and have...

    They are tiny and run very cool, hardly above room temperature, which tells me they are very efficient. Sound has improved dramatically over the last 24 hours and i am very impressed. Just as all the reviews state, they have no place sounding this good at the price point. They are definitely...

    So tonight i was feeling really naughty, a bit like a school boy and and wanted to be very Kinki, infact EX-B7 Kinki to be exact. The Mono Blocks that have had the Hi Fi world in almost total disbelief finally arrived on our shores and what i believe are the first pair in the country are now...

    About a month ago Craig came over and brought me the JC1+ power amps and also a rather beautiful Rockna WaveLight DAC We never got the chance to connect it properly as the best connection for this DAC is Via the I2S input, unfortunately my very old,but trusty Squeeze Box Touch does not support...

    I had a very interesting Sunday afternoon, Basil and Craig from NXgen audio came over with some rather gorgeous sounding digital equipment. I will give more info a bit later as time allows. I can say that  I was mesmerized.

    Looks like they have been sold to a European buyer. Probably just as well!

    Thanks Tony, It has been a most rewarding time. All that have heard the difference an amplifier can make in my system are in general consensus about what has performed best so far. It has been mighty interesting!

    Well, the Mola Mola's and EC 600 go back tomorrow. While the Kalugas are really fantastic amplifiers and really have an incredible sound signature, The JC1+ just do it for me. In some respects i should not have heard them first as it set the bar rather high :facepalm: It is what it is and i...

    Friends creating problems.

    Ahh Good luck with the hunt my dear friend, sometimes opening a can of worms can be a lot of fun, I would love to someday hear one of these FM Acoustics amplifiers. I have looked on line and they are pricey items. Have fun :mates:

    In reading some of the comments above, i understand both sides of the coin here. The best Digital amps will always come across as super clean and yes give that "extreme detail retrieval and neutrality" as mentioned by Drifter. These kind of amplifiers will always have that initial WOW factor and...

    Mola Mola part 2 I want to start off by saying what an incredibly interesting little pair of amplifiers these are. very unique indeed! From the get go There was something inherently and immediately ?right? about what these amps brought to "My find the right power amp party". I suppose in some...
