Sorry about the title....but I am in quite a chirpy mood...
I'm posting a really short, first impressions, review, right now. The amp is a Cmoy Apheared "47", in a Penguin Caffeinated (!) Mint tin, assembled by JMT.
First, I really must say - it was a pleasure dealing with JMT. He is a true gentleman. I am extremely pleased to enter the world of audiophiles, formally, with help from someone of his caliber. JMT - do you any more compliments?
Anyway, so far, the amp fixes the mids on the KSC-35. I have always felt the mids were a little distant on them, and for that reason, i prefered my 888s to them.
The 888s, quite frankly, have a phenomenal mid-range...
And the KSC-35s beat them now. Powered well with a decent (I hope!) source, the Sony D-121's line out, they come alive. The presentation is pleasantly recessed - i don't feel i'm on the stage, but I sure don't miss that. Lively, yet not fatiguing.
So....
I think the amp gives body to the sound, provides power (lol!), and sounds airy.......at least, makes my KSC-35s seem "airy"...
