Monoblocks Vs. Stereo Amps: Why It's Not about the Power
I would not have mention the concert only because of his far left views. Just sayin!.........Peace Out........
How does it stack up against the SV226MKII? It looks very similar to my old work horse. No dac in mine with the three 12AX7 but it sounds great with the Klipsch Forte IV.
NO SOUND TEST AGAIN IN A RUclips CHANNEL. WHY CABASSE NEVER MAKES A SOUND CHECK. ANY OTHER SPEAKER HAS A SOUND TEST ON RUclips BUT CABASSE NEVER
What cables did you use for this system?
Tannoy Westminster GR is 99 dB. Fyne Audio super tweeter here supposedly good with speakers up to 98 db. So does this 1 dB difference make them incompatible w Tannoy Westminster?
They say the human ear can only REALLY hear differences in decibles groups of 3. I think it would be ok since a whisper is like 20 - 30 DB :)
Man this guy is all over the place I've never had a problem setting up subs with the main full range speakers by ear but I have to have two subs in stereo for music or it will ever sound good enough to my ears
oh my God...this company is the new upcoming rival to many vintage speakers...it seem? I may get a vintage 12
They sound amazing!
get me a pair of Tannoy Arden MK1 or 2❓
The Alfa Romeo would be in the top 10 worst cars ever built...
Why only 80 watts? isn't this self limiting?
❤❤❤❤
❤️
Where's the headphone support?
Omnidirectional tweeters are wild, and definitely something worth playing around with. They don't have to cost more than your car either; for many years I had a pair of ~$20 tweeters up-firing into 4" wooden balls from Hobby Lobby mounted on adjustable microphone arms sat on my main speakers, and it was ludicrous how much of a difference they made to the soundstage. Getting the crossover point just right is of course tricky, but it's wild how high even cheap tweeters can extend when it's ALL they are asked to do.
Fyne will be coming out withother models that are smaller and less expensive. The black ones coming will cost less. These are the flagship in every way, shape and form, and can be used with a lot of different brands of speakers.
at least in London, Glasgow = glars-go, not glass-g-ow / glass gau
Dude....I torch everything. I called Hermes Her-Meez and my wife smacked me.
It’s curious they are not making one of these to pair with their F1 range. You’d think that would be where people would most likely be spending $5k on a super tweeter. Or maybe that range already has enough extension to not need one of these?
Great question! They are coming out in black soon, and we will definitely see what speakers we can pair it with for fun!
So how will this Fyne Audio super tweeter improve my Focal Electra 1008be”s?
1008BE are a fabulous speaker with a Beryllium dome as you know. It depends on you and your system. If your room is highly reflective and you have tile floors, you may be getting all the top end that you can stand. If not, buy them in a way that you can return them. Unless you intend to return them anyway...it's expensive for dealers to take returns. Or a local Fyne dealer could let you borrow a pair. Thanks for asking!
@@upscaleaudio Thank you for the response. I actually purchased my Electra’s from you guys. I’m about to move into a house that is all tile, but will have large rugs in a lot places. I don’t know of any Fyne dealers in the Houston area. Thank you again
Fyne are Tannoy, it's no mistake that the Vintage series look so much like the old Tannoy designs, it's from the people who designed those classic tannoys. Fyne are Tannoy but they're improving what came before. I'm so excited to see how they continue!
The heads of Fyne do come from Tannoy and you can definitely see the influence in their DNA, but these speakers are definitely on a whole other level. The technology they have patented and implemented is groundbreaking and sounds amazing!
I rarely add any comments but this one deserves five stars. The first and second harmonics that we feel are in the 50K plus range.
Thank you so much for your comment! You are exactly correct!
Hey Kev, Neil Young blows
Which artists do you like?
The concert was a disaster..... for me. We were fifth row, off to the side a little, right next to a huge driver array. I left my earplugs at home. I forgot how loud Crazy Horse can be. I was shoving everything in my ears to save them.
@@upscaleaudioI bring my earplugs to every concert now. Just saw Dave Mason and also Tower of Power.
Hi, thanks for a great review! I have a pair and love these headphones, especially using with the bass ported ear pads which improve the bass and the headband pads which improve comfort. Very detailed and dynamic headphones, but overall retain a very pleasing musical presentation. Kudos on your videos! Great job! 👍 😊
We love these headphones! I will let Grover know you dug the review!
I have known Charlie since he was in high school and he knows his stuff. I miss his dad very much. LEGENDS. ❤
Charlie is the best!
Great video guys, like another viewer already noted they have the style of build as the 560 , I don’t think the price point is a bit high for that style of build, I think should be around £249- 269 , if it had the same build style as the rest for 600 range then yes £300 is a good price, at the moment in the Uk some the outlets selling hd650 for £229, and hd660s2 to £359, so at that prices better off getting those that these, it be good if reviewer do hd 560 v these ones . Regards mark
Thank you so much for the kind words and the feedback!
What is name of this TUBE wall lamp? :)
I've heard that one of the best Tannoy Speakers is the vintage Tannoy Arden Mkl❓
Most people miss the amazing ability of A6 HDMI output for multichannel DSD / DSF (SACD) and PCM 7.1 file playback. Try listening to Billy Joel's The Stranger in multichannel DSD in a high quality audiophile surround setup. You will be entranced.
I will definitely take it home soon and test that out!
Great review guys! I’ve got a couple of questions if you don’t mind. 1. Does the HDMI ARC input work with digital coax out? Does the volume control work in this mode? 2. Is there a difference in SQ between these devices when used with coax out to a dedicated DAC? Thanks!
Yes! It is a subtle difference between units when using a DAC but there is still a difference! The HDMI Arc should still work when using a DAC but I haven’t tested it myself!
You guys are full of useful energy and downright happiness at your evolving listening skills and differential abilities. It was a pleasure watching you play off of each other and you present a great video. I personally don’t care about aesthetics. What I wanna know is the sound and is it hard and precise and everything‘s where it should be or is it soft and gentle and possibly muddy together. Overall a great video and I hope you continue to produce them.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We love music and we love that we get to make videos talking about fun gear! I know we both don’t know all the terminology yet but we are definitely training our ears!
I subscribed
Thank you so much!
Cambridge Audio CXN100 vs Eversolo A8?
Great video idea topic!
You talk to much about nothing..get to the point
Please do a video or comment Eversolo A8 using it as a preamp only.
That’s a great idea!
I’m waiting on them doing a firmware upgrade which should add balance control to the DSP before I think of trying the 8.
That’s fair!
Thanks guys, great video. I have a DMP-A8. I think it is an amazing product. I was wondering what DAC you would suggest as a significant upgrade to the A8's internal dac at the sub $5k price point. I have shifted entirely to digital listening. My system is B&W 802D3, mcintosh c2700 pre, mc462 amp. Thanks
Hey you could get some great stuff! Two of my mind would be the Primaluna EVO 100 DAC if you want tubes or the Ferrum WANDLA! If you wanted more in depth advice we can definitely get you with one of our experts!
Eversolo A6 Master vs Cambridge CNX100?
Great idea!
Newb question: If I play a concert DVD through a cheap player, but have a great DAC is it not going to sound good? If not how do you watch concert DVD's and get reference or at least midfi sound? Thanks.
Nothing is going to be better then your source (the dvd) you should look at blu ray concerts and I think Amazon has a streaming service for concerts some are even in atmos!
If i'm using an external DAC, will there going to be a difference between the A6 versions? Thanks for beautiful review ❤
That is a great question it will be more of a subtle difference
I'll wait for the A6 mk2 with HDMI thanks.
HDMI ARC? Because HDMI audio out is already present on A6’s, but not ARC like on A8
@@IvanITpro yes I meant arc. Then it would be perfect.
Please put a list of the components in the system you created to compare these units.
The system at the store was the Fyne Audio 704 with a Primaluna EVO 400
I would do a video on the A8 VS under $5000 units.
Great idea!
I got an A8 back in March and am extremely happy with it. As you said, vocals sound natural and there is impressive soundstage. It even makes older poor recordings bearable to listen to, something my old streamer, an Eweat (MyMei) DMP-50 (I believe is made by the Eversolo/Zidoo OEM), could never do. I have paired the Eversolo to a Hypex Nilai500DIY 250W stereo power amplifier, a class d amp that sounds extremely detailed yet silky smooth with no top end harshness.
What a great way to put it! It really is such an impressive unit!
Another hit gentlemen. I have watched all of videos from the major RUclipsrs on each of these 3 units over the past few months. Honestly, you brought quite a bit to the table with your review, and even a few things that were left out of those other reviews. For example, this was the first time seeing the touch screen in action to this extent. Also, your description of the sound, instrument separation, as well as the depth and width of the soundstage stood out and was unique...essential information for any enthusiast. Keep up the great work and hope to see you at the upcoming event this week in Laverne.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are both going to be there on Thursday, make sure to say hi!
I like how you described the sound without using audiophile nonsense terms like chocolaty or velvety. Depth, width, natural voices and bass are concepts we can understand.
Thanks! We are definitely both newer audiophiles and don’t know all the fancy words so we use the words that make sense!
Did you use these as preamps?
We did after the video with a T+A power amp!
Opinion after using as preamp
I've been using the DMP A6 Master Edition w/ an internal linear power supply unit, 2TB Samsung 990 SSD and a Pioneer USB disc drive for ripping/playing CDs. I'm very happy with the Eversolo if I'm being honest. I don't have a ton of experience with streamers, but I really like this one. Granted, the $$$ I've invested into my DMP A6 M.E. at this point is pretty ridiculous. At any rate, I use my Eversolo DMP A6 M.E. for Tidal streaming and as a "hub" for my digital audio files. The Eversolo connects to a Black Ice Audio FusionF360 stereo preamp via XLR and then to an Emotiva XPA-TWO power amp via XLR. I have a pair of the Arendal 1723 THX floor standing speakers and a pair of Emotiva's XS12 12" powered subwoofers. I'm real happy with my "digital chain". Not gonna lie...
So excited that you are happy with yours! That sounds like a rad set up!
@@upscaleaudio I feel like I'm on a good path with my HiFi "journey". lol I'm only 13 months into this, but I'm really happy with the sound I'm getting. I need "better" subs next. I think I may do something custom. Stereo Integrity have a humongous subwoofer right now that looks and sounds incredible. I don't hate the idea of doing a pair of the 18" version of that Stereo Integrity sub in sealed boxes. I definitely need something that's loud/big...but sealed. Custom is my only option as I can't afford the really expensive HiFi stuff.
