Schiit Jotunheim, den amerikanske produsentens nyeste stasjonære og fullbalanserte hodetelefonforsterker, har blitt testet av Chris Martens for bladet Hifi +. Han er mildt sagt begeistret over forsterkeren som også kan fås med innebygd DAC eller RIAA-trinn.
Her er noe av det han har å si om den svært vellydende og fornuftig prisede forsterkeren:
"How does the Jotunheim sound? The answer is that the amp sounds powerful, refined, and accomplished—almost absurdly so in light of its price."
"You enjoy the punch and authority for which well-designed solid state amps are known, ample detail and resolution, plus the quiet backgrounds and precise control over the leading and trailing edges of notes that are the hallmarks of first-rate fully balanced designs."
"The Jotunheim sounds muscular, energetic, agile, and fleet-footed, meaning it not only handles music’s bigger moments well but also gets all the evanescent transient sounds and smaller textural and harmonic details right."
"First, the timbres of the instruments involved—piano, harp, double bass, and vibraphones—sounded at once incredibly pure, yet rich, full-bodied, and chock-full of vibrant tonal colours."
"Second, I was floored by the stunning dynamic contrasts the Jotunheim was able to capture. On some of Thomas Schindl’s more expressive vibraphone runs, for instance, the notes burst forth with extraordinary speed and energy, yet without any overhang, blurring, or smearing."
"Finally, I was struck by the Jotunheim’s ability to convey natural warmth and, where warranted, gravitas in the music."
"If all of the foregoing makes it sound as if I am describing an extremely expensive top-tier headphone amplifier giving of its best that’s because the Jotunheim comes tantalizingly close to providing that level of performance"
Norsk pris er kr. 4.990, eller kr. 5.990 hvis du ønsker enten innebygd DAC eller RIAA-trinn
