Let’s listen!
100 Kg Sushi power versus 13.5 Kg Kiwi power! My Sony E1-N1 pre-and end combination has
to make room for an opponent from New Zealand. The necessary cables are connected and
soon the first sounds enter the listening room.
What does this little body builder sound like? Often an amplifier has the tendency to tend to
either the ‘warm’ musical side, or the ‘cold’ analytical side. Only a few white ravens, for
example Spectral or the top of the digital amplifiers like the Lyngdorf Millennium, are blessed
with absolute neutrality, complete transparency and no trace of coloring in the entire frequency
spectrum whatsoever. The R200i can definitely join this elite! This member of the Perreaux
family seems to combine the best of both worlds in one compact casing. Not only is the R200i
very quick and open, it is also completely transparent and has natural, musical, light feet.
