Testbericht STEREO 5/2009

The Lyric Ti 120 got what it takes: The integrated amplifier managed to get honoured by the award “outstanding” by the German Hi-Fi magazine “stereoplay” and has been  classified for the magazines top class amplifier category.

But this did not prevent us from upgrading it with the intense knowledge of our in house valve specialist Stefan Noll. Still preserving the extremely good value for money relation, he enhanced four important points. Instead of four EL-34 valves he took the even more sophisticated KT88 from JJ Electronics. This ensures higher resolution of delicate sound. More precision in the bass range is archived by filter capacitors made by the British company BHC. Additionally the legendary M-Cap capacitors in the input and the driver stages ensure fine and spacious high range reproduction. Last but not least we apply quicker rectifiers to improve the impulse range of this superb valve amp.

Still the Signature M features the same remote control and the convenient user external bias fine adjustment of the original Ti120.
