*Phonitor x in The Absolute Sound

“I can’t imagine a situation where the Phonitor x could run out of power and not be capable of optimally driving any pair of headphones.”

American high-end audio magazine ‘the absolute sound’ did a review about our Phonitor x in their current issue (#275 – September 2017):

My first and last impression of the Phonitor x was one of unfettered power and control.”

“… the matrix and crossfeed offered a wider, deeper, and more spatially precise sound stage.”

“… the Phonitor x delivered unrestricted dynamic contrasts that pushed whatever headphones were attached to it to greater sonic heights.”

Bass extension and control through the Phonitor x were exemplary.”

“… the Phonitor x exerted a level of finesse that put it on par with the top echelon of headphone amplifiers, tube or solid-state, designed to handle difficult-to-drive headphones.”

When used as a preamplifier the Phonitor x proved quiet and capable of driving longer line-level connections with ease. I used the Phonitor x with a variety of amplifiers…. In every case the Phonitor had an abundance of additional gain. I rarely turned the volume control past ¼ turn. Also the Phonitor x was dead quiet with all the amplifiers I connected it to. Its sonic character was clean, clear and dynamic.”

Final thoughts:

With a $2800 budget you have a plethora of headphone amplifier/preamplifier options. Of course, I have not heard them all, but among those I have heard the Phonitor x offers a unique set of features coupled with outstanding performance.”

Sonically the Phonitor x offers a suave delivery with extremely good bass and extension. When you add its well-laid-out controls and options, you have a product whose ergonomics are as good as its technical abilities.”

If you’re in the market for a headphone amplifier and preamplifier that can serve as a reference in either a dedicated headphone or nearfield audio system, the Phonitor x should be among your options. It is solid and well designed, and you can get it in red. What’s not to like?”
