Hi Plakat, hi All
My V281 has left warehouse today....it will spend weekend somewhere with UPS and should be with me mid next week.
With it, in same package, will be lot of Switchcraft and Neutrik connectors and some quad star cable to play with DIY cables
As I am experienced, read old, gadget lower, so, I bought Tannoy Reveal 402 to replace my old crappy yogurt can like computer speaker to have busy weekend...
Now I am rearranging cables around desktop....Tannoy connected to balanced out on my ASUS E1 with bunch of MUSES01 and 02 in it.
When Fried's little power-plant comes, it will get the signal from balanced OUT on ASUS E1 and Tannoy will get it from balanced out on V281.
For volume control on Tannoy I got
bundled controller with Tannoy.
It will be connected between V281 bal out and Tannoy bal in.
Short first impression with Tannoy...too much bass...very nice, warm mids and higs. I have even dump the bass ports to lower basses.
Very good monitors, nice sound, not up to Sonus Faber Concertino, my main stereo rig, but close enough for everyday listening.
Now, for headphones, I have 4 to play with.
My more than 10 years old AKG 240 Studio
Old good,...... super good, K702.bass mode done.(will try to re-cable it for balanced use at some point in next 2-3 weeks
Beyer T51P, my outdoor cans, hard to belive, but very close pair to my last and best headphones...
LCD-X, 1 month old, which are main reason I ordered this mighty amp.
Source is my super silent, almost passively cooled computer with de-lided processor for better thermal transfer and Foobar.
Source for testing CD-s is Marantz 4200.
Fiio X5 for test is ready as well.
So far, testing LCD-X with Asus E1 and Meier Corda, they shine with both amps so good that I can not belive anything can make them shine even more.
Will see. Will hear actually.
As for Mr. Fried Reim I can say only superlatives. He did answer all my questions and fast!!
I can point one, very important fact, where he said that this amp, Violectric V281, is covered with 5 years warranty transferable to following user!!
This is very logical, but nowadays very gentleman move as you will hardly find any company to offer transferable warranty in electronic business.
Hat down Fried.
