AudioQuest’s 42-year history of designing and refining analog interconnects has been a long, steady climb up a mountain, the summit of which can never be reached…For over 40 years, AudioQuest’s interconnects have been Double-Balanced (RCA) or Triple-Balanced (XLR) to prevent the shield from being used as an inferior ground-reference conductor.With their two- and three-cable configurations, the Mythical Series Interconnects make the multiple discrete signal and ground-reference paths externally visible for the first time — but that is not new technology. We did it because the more complicated a..

Treble octaves were smooth and non-fatiguing. Transient behavior was natural, rather than overly etched and prickly. Brass ensembles fared well with sharp assertive attacks that were not overly metallic and with a nice trailing openness on decays. The spark and intensity of aggressively bowed violins were revealed, but never to the point of upstaging the resonant wooden bodies of the instruments. Imaging was unclouded, and localization of players could be observed seemingly at a glance, as if you were actually seated comfortably in the audience about mid-hall.VERDICTIn today’s high-end amplifi..

Copland’s new CSA70 is a solid-state amplifier delivering a claimed 70W per channel into 8 ohms and 130W into 4 ohms. It sports three unbalanced analogue line inputs, MM phono stage, coaxial, optical, and USB digital inputs via a built-in DAC, plus a headphone socket. Unlike the company’s other integrated amps, the entry-level CSA70 is not a tube/transistor hybrid. If you want a valve line stage, you’ll need to look at the pricier 100W CSA100 or 150W CSA150 models.THE VERDICTCopland’s new CSA70 came as something of a nice surprise to me. It’s an ‘entry level high end’ product from a highly reg..

CSA 70 je senzacionalni ojačevalec; uravnotežen s celovito specifikacijo in odlično izdelavo ter izjemno zmogljivostjo v vseh svojih funkcijah. Copland je zgradil mojstrovino.Ocena 10 od 10ZaključekPojdimo naravnost k stvari. Obstaja veliko odličnih ojačevalnikov, ki smo si jih ogledali v cenovnem razredu, kjer se postavlja CSA 70, in nekateri od njih delajo bolj obsežne in izjemne stvari glede specifikacij kot ta subtilni, skoraj neopazen Danc. Vendar noben od njih ne uravnoteži funkcionalnosti, izdelave in zmogljivosti na način, kot to počne ta. Copland je morda najbolj brezhibno sposobna na..
