Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier

Hey nonoise,

Congrats!  I still have my demo in-house and think this piece is a killer because of it's performance+build quality, and then you add in the cost factor it's off the charts.

I'll be giving a five star rating when I finally write the review in the next couple of weeks for hometheatrreview.com.

This amp looks a bit like the Norma ipa-140 !
anyone knows if the sonic is in the same ball park ?
Is this a true balance amp ?
and is there a difference in sound quality between the balance input and the line input ?

Just took a  look at some screen shots of a Norma and I don't see the resemblance but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Norma looks more like a cross between a Schiit product and something from Musical Fidelity to me.

As for it's having a true balanced input, one reviewer stated that it's only a "simple" XLR input, meaning it's not. I can't say for sure. If it is, then it's there to add in another type of input, widening it's appeal.

All the best,
Nonoise

I’ll be placing my order for this amp in a few weeks. I will be interested in reading your review teajay.
