Ive owned the Kinki EX-M7 for two months now. My initial interest in it is that it had Exicon MOSFETs which Ive known to be stellar for audio. I wasnt so sure about the DC coupled design, but was intrigued.
After an initial evaluation period, I ended up selling a Pass Labs X150.8, First Watt F8 and and Audion Super Sterling KT120 tube amp. The Kinki turned out to be an excellent match for my system that I felt I no longer needed my stable of amps. It gives me amazing imaging, sound stage, an excellent midrange and outstandingly controlled, refined, tonally correct bass. I absolutely adore this amp.
its currently matched to Devore Fidelity Gibbons Xs, Allnic L3000 preamp, Allnic H1202 phono pre, SS Zephyr MkIII cartridge, rebuilt Thorens TD-124 TT, Denafrip Ares II DAC and Bluesound Node 2i.
i enjoy the M7 a lot.
