Hi Sonyes
Congratulations!
Are you enjoying the Phonitor?
How does it compare to your Luxman with the HD 800?
Thank you very much Moochibond
One I can say with certainty that'
,
My life has changed from TODAY to end with the new SPL amp.
And this is in several stages
And a little long and maybe a bit confusing
But the combination of P-1U + SPL + Z1R + HD800
That I bought the Z1R was shocked by its sound -
I did not understand the sound
I was really angry at Sony and I'm still angry but really less-just the sharpness of the high field
so
I ordered a UPOCC / NEOTECH cable
Maybe it will make a difference
Anyway
Z1R is simply superior and even on this problem
There are lots and lots of cases
I sucked into music and hear- WOW
So many details that Z1R HAVE .TO my surprise HD800 sounds but is not so obvious
And those who said they have no resolution................on z1r?
I can attest that the
Z1R with amazing level of detail
I hear all the details that take place at the bottom of the stage behind the scenes.
3d sound .
And all that was missing!!!!!!!! until he arrived
PHONITOR 2
I'm really happy every minute of the amplifier
And hardly connects the P-1U
Because I hear more details in less volume and the bass is so true and accurate. TO ME IT IS SUPERB.
And not as inflated as the P1U which is so specifically suited for the HD800.
Here
With SPL + Z1R + SA11 and I hope that I will soon get my cable
NEO TECH
A special for me
All the details I'll get with them and show it
There is still a metallic sound in the very high that is reflected in the recordings
Many
But some do not and do not hear it
There is a certain frequency that is probably interfering with 10K
but
That's why I bought the kimber CABEL
Sony's still did not reduce the phenomenon but different and better than the original cable
Next with Z1R
I hooked up the BCL with good results but with the P1U there was more control and tremendous power
In fact today I understand that these amplifiers are suitable for the special HD800.
SPL The result is different with everything you connect to it
I just sold 2 pairs HD800
In the comparisons I made with the same cable +source
Once with HD800 + P-1U the sound to the same disc was good++++
What I've heard for years
but
Still the original cable of the Z1R
In the same breath I connected the ZIR here everything changed to to superb big sound ...full
The only thing that is similar to HD800
The stage width and depth are very similar
The rest
Apples in front of oranges
the z1r is the one to almost all music for me now.
I'm still considering maybe returning the HD800 because with the SPL there's something special about this amplifier
What did not exist in the P1U.
even though it surprised me from the end to which I connected him
ZIR
spl is superb amp .
The treble still in the Z1R is very sharp and really metallic high. in HD800 less
But you still hear him
The domain is amazing with SPL + Z1R
Suddenly I have more . air/mids/bass/3d sound everting more then i was in p1u+hd800 combo
And an amazingly deep, amazingly accurate bass all in place
I'm just sucked into the music
a list of the cd's well be om my next post.
rca/sony/emi/decca/ and more .
I prefer the sound of the SPL + Z1R to be superb .
to
the almost analog TUBE sound
Of the P-1U+z1r
Here I have two types of sound
Each with its own advantages and disadvantages
The P-1U + Z1R is definitely the most enjoyable but it does not have Diynmc Rang and openness
The amazing thing about SPL has .
Now I have no doubt SONY has produced something quite unique to the market
In closed cans.
SPL have so many of its options and drowns it's professional amplifier
Monitors for studios.
The Z1R needs a a very strong open amplifier .with a lot of control over the bass
Highs clear and super-open immediately for mids and full as well
p-1u is good in it but bass is bery big . very good to hd800. for z1e less.
And balanced connection
Will probably be my set for the next decade
spl+z1r
