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.
