Unison Unico P
The UNICO P is the "little brother" of the blazoned UNICO.
It supplies a declared power of 50W per channel, but laboratory tests
has always verified a power of about 70W per channel.
It employs a preamplification tube (ECC82).
Assistance can be carried out very easily and fast thanks to the modulated
realization of the power amplifiers.
Each one of the two amplifiers on its inside uses a 520gr. heatsink,
and the power transformer has been created in order to allow power supply
without problems durinq musical transitories.
As the UNICO, the UNICO P uses ALPS rotary potentiometer (RK27 series),
and the control of volume is via infrared; it uses the same transmission
and reception codes of all other units of UNICO series, and so it is
possible to control the volume also with the remote controls of others
apparatuses of the UNICO series.
Inside the apparatus there is a particular circuit that checks continuously
the functions of the main internal parts, and the leds on the front panel
indicate any anomaly found.

Ayre Acoustics C-5xe
Universal Disk Player Stereophile Extract: "It ought
to be fairly obvious that I found the Ayre C-5xe more than satisfactory.
I didn't expect it to disappoint, but I was unprepared for just
how much it delighted me. I've heard a lot of impressive audio
components over the years, but I've heard very few that afforded
me greater musical pleasure or sent me on as many voyages of
musical discovery through discs I thought I knew well." - Wes

Gryphon
Diablo The ultimate reference integrated amplifier at £6100.
The Gryphon sonic magic in a reasonable sized and georgeous case,
you must hear this as it puts most pre power combo's to shame,
pure music at its best. |
Brinkmann
LaGrange turntableThe Brinkmann LaGrange turntable is without
a doubt the best source component I have ever had the chance
to enjoy over an extended period of time. It represents a level
of perfection and emotional connection to music that I have never
heard before. - Danny Kaey extract from Positive Feedback |
Teac Esoteric DV-50SThe
Esoteric DV-50 is the most fun you can have with digital music
playback short of the dCS trio reviewed
by Michael Fremer in April 2003 (Vol.26 No.4). Given that the
dCS gear costs about six times as much as the DV-50, the Esoteric
is a screaming bargain, especially considering its hyper-advanced
technology, bulletproof build, and exceptional sound. You can even
play movies on it. - Stereophile Extract |
