Zobaczmy zatem, co ludzie piszą o tej "tragedii". To końcówka mocy X150.5, tak przy okazji. Cytuję:
This is an EXTREMELY impressive amplifier, and overall it bests the Alephs in almost every way imaginable. MOST noticeable in terms of improvement is the utter transparency. I now hear all kinds of low-level information that was muffled by the warmth of the Alephs. For example, listening to the MoFi Beatles White Album side 1, I was startled by the soundstage prominence of the tamborine in the mix - and for the first time could hear the tamborine jingles clearly as small metallic disks (rather than some kind of blurring jingling). Album after album: Radiohead, Rush, Sarah McLachlan, Dave Brubeck, Vaughn Williams, Emerson Lake & Palmer, the effect was the same - this is THE most transparent amplifier I have yet owned (see list above).
A second dominant, noticeable attribute is the power and extension at the frequency extremes. Bass is prodigious, and completely redefines what my Forests are capable of. And to think I was pondering a sub - HAH!! Plugging in PJ Harvey "To Bring You My Love," the bass literally rattled shelves throughout the house. Yet at the same time, it's tuneful and balanced. The highs seem to extend forever, without a hint of brightness or edge.
The final characteristic of this amp that merits mention is the naturalness of tone. It is an EXTREMELY realistic and natural sounding amp - warm, clean, clear, and transparent. But it is NOT high on the liquidity scale. For those seeking that "drip from the walls" sound, this amp will strike you as comparatively sterile. However, I find it the closest sound to "the real thing" I've yet experienced, and it is the PERFECT mate for the Forests, which perform SO far beyond the envelope now it's frightening.
All in all, I can't say enough good things about the X150.5. An incredible sonic accomplishment. Well done Nelson!! For the first time in ten years, I've had an amp/speaker combination remain stable for six months, with NO desire for "upgrade," and each time I listen all I can think is "how can it sound this great!!??"
O moim HPA-1 napisałeś, że to gniot. Nie dość, że wzmacniacz pracuje w czystej klasie A, to nieliniowe zniekształcenia harmoniczne i szum w syngle wynoszą < 0,005 przy 1V na wyjściu. Pasmo przenoszenia: 10hz – 100k. Sprzęt zebrał wiele nagród na całym świecie za jakość dźwięku i wiele pochlebnych recenzji. Pamiętam, jak stwierdzano tutaj, że recenzenci są nieuczciwi, ale chyba wszystkich Nelson nie przekupił. 😉
