Xindak V60 (805)
Cyber-845
I know hearing is believing...but still requesting educated comments/comparison of the architecture/specs of these two similarly priced Chinese SET monoblocks. Xindak is in early stages of USA distribution but it's a big engineering firm w/ a long track record in China.
The Xindak V60 (805, just released, none in USA yet):
http://www.xindak.com/english/showtopic.asp?Catalog=4&id=559Vs. the Cyber-845; scroll down 1/2 way to "Specification for 845 output Tube Version":
http://norvinz.com/opera.html A journalist races vintage Ferrari & owned the $100k Japanese Audio Note; never heard the AN but it has a mythical reputation for pure musical magic by multiple sources such as Martin G. DeWulf. Reviewer/Ferrari racer said the Cyber was the equal of the AN (or thereabouts). Apparently totally unique transformer architecture employs steel recycled from very old pre-existing transformers.
Hard to ignore the Xindak's preferred appearance even though it should be a distant second priority vs. performance. Don't you love the wittle parasol thingy on the tube? What the heck is that? The more familiar I become w/ the Cyber's robotic look the less I like it. (Excuse my purely subjective mumbling to myself...)
Thanks!
