| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Hey Mike, it's good to hear you'll be doing a review of the Kinki DAC and the Jay's Transport. Alvin told me the DAC is very similar to the sound the EX-M1 since they're both made by Liu and he voiced them to compliment each other. It should make ... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? CDPs aren't going anywhere, soon. Check out this thread from A'gon:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/if-you-still-spin-cd-s-their-is-a-reference-level-transport-for-reasona Right now, for the price of a decent server (which will be obsoleted ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 That confirms what Srajan, of 6moons, said about the Kinki ES-M1. I think he still has a Crayon in his inventory and in his closing comments of the unit, he mentioned how much one could save over the cost of the Crayon and still get comparable so... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Sorry about that. It'll all be good when you get it.👍😄 | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Just thought I'd update with some impressions that've come to my attention. Actually it's just one. At first I thought I was hearing things as I've been trying out some new ICs and after a while I went back to my regular set. That'll teach me to d... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Hey Mike,If you say the Jay's Audio CDT-2 Mk II sounds no better than your music server, that's quite the compliment. Conversely, can it be said that your music server sounds no better than the transport? If so, for those of us who stubbornly insi... | |

It's about $89 more than if you bought it from Alex but you're getting the service from someone cl... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier I believe @teajay compared the EX-M1 to a $30K T+A and found the T+A to better it in air, separation and imaging but found it to be it's equal in the base. Not bad company to be in. He should have a review coming soon. All the best,Nonoise | |

| Deleted Threads by Admin?? @hifiman5 ,I completely understand, but since both of us noticed it, it's not hard to see how the mods picked up on it as well. Maybe going up the ladder of abstraction and using a more generalized term of reference instead of a talking point or m... | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? onhwy61 +1,I was almost finished composing a response pointing that very thing out when I checked to see if someone had posted and what edits to make when I saw that the thread was deleted.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier Thanks for the clarification, Al. I was under the impression that some watts were wasted if one had to crank up the volume before hearing something. And, mrdecibel, the designer of my now, sadly gone, Tonian Labs TL-D1 speaker was of the same mind... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier No, mine doesn't have the high/low gain switch as it was the first version. After living with my Marantz, which I had to turn up at least a quarter of the way before I could hear it, it's nice to have it come on with great resolution at around tha... | |
