This is exactly what I want to know! I'm thinking of getting the Centrance Hi-Fi M8, but this could hold me over and it's a LOT cheaper.

Final offer


I think that Panda needs medication and Anger Management Therapy.
I recommend 3 hours a day listening to Classical music via a FiiO e12.

Get hold of a copy of the Solti Ring. Just re mastered on dvd and I believe BluRay. This is the opera recording that actually knocked several name brand pop singers off the charts. It is of historical interest as it was done at the inception of Stereo and produced by a man determined to create a sound stage for listeners to immerse themselves in. Just about every recording since owes a great debt to John Culshaw and the pioneering methods he developed for this recording. The detail and effects here make this about the best test disk you could imagine. From Incredible high vocal to the very depths of the sound spectrum there is music here to stress even the best systems out there. It is this recording more than any other that woke the world up to the possibilities multi channel audio presented.

It is, and if you can get hold of Culshaws Ring Resounding, It gives an amazing view into how recordings happen and the grief silliness and rewards that go with it. It was actually reading that book that turned me on to opera. Amazon has it as an Ebook.

You get it that Mont Blanc is also a mountain, right? Really big one, on the border of France and Switzerland? I've been there, but not all the way to the summit.

I'm also a fan of Hayden. Bach is of course impressive.

And you get it that K2 is the second highest peak on earth,right? In the Karakoram mountian range.

On that note...

Spectacular usage of the human voice, conducted by the composer. What could possibly be better than that?

 

Perhaps..

 

Almost autobiograhical in its composition, and conducted by Harnoncourt, makes for a very intense performance.

 

And to take the sting out of the heavies there.

Kuniko Kato working on Steve Reich's music. Modern Classical and completely mesmerizing. (trance aint got nuthin on this:)). Do not play this on a loop, you may not get out alive.

Actually, I didn't know that, thought you were talking about some other amp, heh. An E15 K2 or something like that would be kind of an unweildy name, don't you think? Doesn't really matter tho smily_headphones1.gif Where is the Karakoram?

Are they going to be importing more of the new E12's?
I can't find them anywhere for purchase.

Great Review, I have one, sound is very neutral, very powerful,  I wish Bass booster was more noticeable.
