Cyrus 8vs2 is keeping me awake
This amplifier is part of a rebuild of my hi-fi that has got me listening to music into the small hours. I'd previously been listening to a well-regarded budget amp. At first I wondered if I could really detect a difference, but it soon became apparent that I was hearing a lot more detail than I had before. My listening tastes vary: Hubbard, Dolphy, Coltrane, Britten, Bach, Lully, Strauss, Eric Badu, Jill Scott and lots besides from large scale orchestral to close-up acoustic duets. Music hangs together better since I've been listening to the Cyrus. I notice that on the one hand I can hear different elements more clearly, there is separation between instruments, and better clarity, but also that everything remains coherent, part of an ensemble. Listening is more comfortable at higher volumes as well. With a sweet spot about one-third the way round the volume dial, there is more than enough juice for my needs in this amp. It suits me perfectly too that this unit is very compact, with a footprint that is roughly A4-sized. My source is a Logitech Duet streaming flac files from a server, and I'm listening through a pair of Kef IQ5SE speakers. The setup (helped, in my opinion, by some investment in connectors and speaker cables) has calmed speakers which can be a bit bright in places, and overall I'm very happy.
