Post Subject: It´s about electricityPosted by el`Ol on: 4/26/2008
I had my visit in Munich yesterday and the Cessaro´s performance was totally different. Tonally without any compromize, so it was a pleasure to stay in the room this time 
Unfortunately very much on the muddy side. I think I start to understand that talk about "electricity". A sufficiently good compression driver seems to be mainly a device that gives out what you put in. In contrast Jean Hiraga´s Melody 845 amps (with probably some feedback?) exhibited a more stable sonic image, but tonally not in that league. Fortunately the colorations were very pleasing for the human ear, so it was an emotionally striking performance.
My personal opinion about Martion (no, I have no relations to that company whatever), is that this year the performance of the little "Bullfrog" was only exceeded by its bigger brother. On my request I was told that compared to last year there were only changes done in the power amp. Strangely this 800W class AB amp now sounded closer to the Orgon´s little class A amps than to its own performance last year.
