Amplifier Cyrus 6 XPSince 1977, close to Cambridge is the headquarters and manufactory of Cyrus, which he had directed its founders - Henry and Farad Azima. Policy of the company all these years is a very high ratio of quality and price, custom design cast housings, flexibility in the design and the possibility of a gradual upgrade of the system. Very serious allegations, is not it? Let's take a closer look at this party, it is no secret that the British school of sound contribute to the production of the finest audio equipment in the world. Housing Cyrus 6 XP in width refers to the format of midi and is made by injection molding of non-magnetic aluminum alloy - it is completely minimizes any resonances and resists overheating. In the center of the facade is a large informative LCD display with pleasant greenish lights, on the right - the volume knob, and below, on the exposed and slightly sloped surface, five keys: control input selector, mute, headphone switching and activation of zone 2 plus button Setup.
Since the front panel has a width of 215 mm, we can not say that it is very ascetic, but the back wall of the body is simply amazing abundant switching management. Even though the six ports are plugged and partially involved only in the older model 6 XPd, and fully - 8 XPd, space is almost there. Then there are, firstly, two pairs of speaker terminals are inserted in special adapters, pistols, and these in turn are embedded bare stranded wires of speaker cables, fixed by screws. Not too convenient, though twice the number of terminals facilitates the implementation of the scheme bi-wiring. Secondly, six stereo inputs, two pairs of preamp outputs, the output of the second zone and two RCA connectors for a bunch more modules Cyrus XP on firm control bus MC-BUS. On nest mini-jack headphone output arranged c variable power - a key to turn it on is located on the front, as mentioned above. A model 8 XPd active four digital inputs (coaxial/optical) with optional DAC Cyrus Qx DAC, mini-USB port for connection to a computer and a staff connector for external power supply Cyrus PSK-R. For the same energy of our amplifier requires two toroidal transformers - one for 130 V*A with five separate secondary windings, and the second provides power to the control board system. Block pre-amplification circuit is constructed on the basis of Cyrus XP, and is engaged in the protection component microprocessor.
Immediately recommend readers to be careful while selecting speakers for Cyrus 6 XP, then the machine freely rocking it and manifest itself in all its glory; good choice - the speakers of British brands. In the sound of this participant clearly felt the breed and has charm. Complex material, both classic and calm, soft popular compositions submitted them delicately, with a soul free. The same was true for jazz. Although where dominated, say, trumpet great Miles Davis, power transformed, and the sound became harsh, violent, like a stretched nerve, and the listener was passed the dramatic performance of the virtuoso. Acoustic trio, on the contrary, lulling, and we will gladly listen to the revelation transmitted bass, or a bit stingy, but deep passages Count Basie. With popular music any direction component coped easily effortlessly and comfortably. And finally, we believe it is possible to advise not to get involved in "black", "fatal" and other satanic styles - believe me, they Cyrus 6 XP too thoroughbred. ![]() |
