Since I was content with the sound in the Main Setup, it was time to accommodate the video section to the new situation. As it would turn out, beamer issues would lead to the start of a new Secondary Audio Setup / Cinema Room.

Ayon Scorpio and S-3 Junior

The Scorpio has a pleasant ripeness but without sounding warm. In fact, it sounds purer and more lifelike than various other tube amps that I tried. It is my new reference in its price class, and considerably beyond.

When I first learned of the Line Magnetic brand, I got excited right away. These are amps with attitude, proud of what they are. Then, when I discovered that the brand employs a wide range of tube configurations, I got even more excited. So, in order to make a nice showcase of the Line Magnetic brand and a good cross-section of their lineup, I set out to review a representative range of amplifiers using various tube types.

I had started a quest to find the perfect amplifier, for my Diva situation at least. By now I knew that there were amplifiers that are more expressive and lively than my precious Rowlands, but so far none of them was a match in terms of treble refinement and low-level resolution.

Gustavson Audio LS-One

When hearing the Gustavson LS-One at the X-fi show in Veldhoven 2017, I noticed how easy it was to relax into the music and not worry about traditional audiophile technicalities.

By always allowing the listener to focus on the emotional message, not the technical details, the Accordo's encourage to stop the upgrade process and just enjoy the music.

Used in the DiaLogue Premium, KT150’s are super-powerful tubes that really have incredible tube-untypical bass and a very different perspective than EL34's.

Remarkably dynamic and communicative performer with lots more power than its humble rating would suggest.

Shapely and compact, the latest Wilsons are a visual treat and sound way bigger than their small dimensions would suggest.
