Pros

The PT1 includes Bluetooth AptX HD that supports 24-bit quality.

Cons

no

Review

I like that the PT1 includes a tuner for FM radio, configurable for US or Europe and provides Autotune. Autotune rapidly scans the spectrum and assigns stations to presets. The display on the PT1 has three things I really like. First the blue display color is pleasant, second it is dimmable, and I especially like that the display automatically shuts off after about 5 seconds. From a user’s perspective I have no hesitation recommending the Emotiva equipment.

Pros

The great sound

Cons

There is no a headphone jack

Review

Bought for a home system with powered subwoofer and couple passive speakers. It is controlled by the Bluesound app. On the front panel there are minimal controls. It looks very stylish, convenient and easy fog using. A compact device for media streaming and amplifier are combined and Powernod is very powerful! I'm a big music lover and often listen to eclectic bands. I tried to listen to the new M83 album. Likewise, I was impressed with the great sound. The sound of them synthesizer and percussion is distinct and clear. Then I listen to U2. Strings, light percussion are sounding, I can hear them as if musicians are playing the music rightly in my room. I wish there was a headphone jack, but Bluetooth works well too.

Pros

Good balance between the price and its

The balance between the price of the Parasound NewClassic 200 and its option set is amazing. Moreower, sound quality is outstanding. I like precision, detail and neutrality, and this was a brilliant choice. NewClassic 200 delivers an extended and captivating soundstage, notable 3D stereo sound effects, and extraordinarily detailed and nuanced presentation. I have been using Parasound for almost 30 years. And all its components are great. I have used NewClassic 200 with Acarian Systems Alon 1 speakers and with Magnepan MMG speakers. The reliability of this Parasound is amazing. The 200 Pre amplifier has many inputs. There's USB, optical and coaxial, as well as a DAC section. There are three analog line stage inputs. INPUT 1 can be changed from the line stage to the input of a moving magnet phono stage or to the input of a moving coil phono stage. The gain in MM mode is 40 dB (impedance of 47 K ohms), in MC mode is 50 dB ( impedance of 100 ohms.) It has a 3.5mm headphone jack, a set of bypass inputs for home theater. Also there is the input-multifunction control on the front panel. It allows me to control Bass, balance and treble. Also i can regulate the subwoofer output level. Also located here connectors for the 12-volt trigger, RS-232, IR port. The graphic display on the front panel includes a large volume indicator and information about the input selector. I can clearly see the volume settings and I like that because I can adjust the volume for only my taste. I would like to say that the remote control is very simple and easy to use. I don't even have to look at it when i regulate smth because my fingers just have to know the buttons. And i can listen to my favorite music even close my eyes.

Pros

Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE is compact and sleek form factor, installation versatility, wide ranging functionality and great sound. Thanks to its impressively sleek, wall-mountable chassis it can be installed practically anywhere, and the compact form factor is complemented by wide ranging functionality. It can be controlled via Bluesound’s intuitive BluOS app. Its sound, delivered by onboard amplifications and with hi-res audio support, packs a punch. Use the POWERNODE EDGE as a discrete amp in a music system. I just added speakers.

Pros

the sound is very punchy and dynamic

Cons

no

Review

I have owned an SV237 MK amplifier for 3 years now. At first I had a problem with random static and noise from the 6N1P-EV tubes. After 2 years, I found out that the issue was that the tubes had almost hardly corroded pins which caused intermittent contact. I replaced the 6N1P-EVs with 6N1Ps with gold plated pins and the problem was solved. As for the sound of the amp, it is very punchy and dynamic. I like it, as I listen to classic rock all the time, and the Vincent suits it like a million dollars)) The amplifier set up with a pair of Elac Carina floorstanders and an Elac SUB1010 subwoofer. Together they create a sound that I'm very satisfied with. I was also glad to see that there are multiple inputs for sources. The built-in DAC is also quite good. Vincent SV237 MK has the advantages of tubes on the front end and a powerful semiconductor on the output. It's the perfect mix for lovers of fine detail in music and powerful punch in those moments when it's needed. I haven't regretted for a moment that I bought the SV237 MK. I think it will be with me for many years to come.
