The effervescent sound of the South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim is incredible on his album Sotho Blue. Moving to Bob Marley’s Exodus vocals soar, supported with rich & solid base. You can have a listen to the music we demoed on the Audio-T Bristol Qobuz Playlist - here.įabio Biondi Vivaldi Four Seasons has an openness of sound stage, exquisite timing, layer upon layer of detail with an amazing sense of timing. We found that positioning the speakers wider apart, nearer the wall and corners provided the best listening experience. The Audition room measures 7m x 4.5 x 3m high. Also, on occasion we hooked up the Linn Akurate LP12 with a Rega Aria phono stage. ![]() We fed the Tonmeister from an Audio Note DAC 0.1x, though the DAC 2.1x signature would be even better, and, using an Innuos Zen Mini MkIII in Roon mode. But, also experimented with Audio Note An-Ks and Spendor Classic 3/1. Highly efficient speakers, anything above 90dB, are an absolute must with a low wattage valve system. The circuitry is elegant - a pure Class A design with zero feedback and a single-ended output stage, using one directly-heated 300B triode valve per channel to produce a power output of 8W per channel into 4 or 8ohm loads.
