Το 6moons εξετάζει την αποτελεσματικότητα των μετατροπών που προσφέρει η Underwood HiFi για τους κορυφαίους μονομπλόκ τελικούς της Βel Canto, e.One Reference 1000.
Υπάρχουν δύο επίπεδα μετατροπών (Level-1, Level-2) και καλύπτονται από εγγύηση ενός έτους. Σε περίπτωση αγοράς έτοιμου βελτιωμένου ενισχυτή η εγγύηση είναι δύο έτη.
Αναλυτικά οι μετατροπές:
Level-1
"a) Johnson installs eight Japanese Riken ½ and 1-watt 'signal path' carbon resistors w/gold-plated leads
b) Six feet of DH LABS 18 AWG 'Revelation series' pure 99.999% silver solid core input signal wire with Teflon tape-wrap dielectric
c) Four premium WBT-0763 single output binding posts to replace the stock terminals
d) Four Black Gate ultra-premium electrolytic capacitors
e) One sheet of Soundcoat chassis damping material cut and applied where applicable
f) One sheet of ERS EMI/RFI suppression paper in critical locations
g) Ten feet of TRT WonderSolder throughout
h) 4 hours labor
The Level-1 modification costs $990.00 per pair plus shipping or you many purchase a new modified pair for $4,490.00/pr plush shipping."
Level-2
"All of above plus:
a) One pair of WBT next Gen 0210-cu copper RCA jacks
b) WBT Next Gen Copper 0710-Cu speaker terminals
c) Replacement of the inexpensive ribbon cable connection between the input and ICE PCBs two entirely new ribbon connectors using 12 feet of DH LABS 23 AWG 'Revelation Series' pure 99.999% silver solid core umbilical signal wire with Teflon tape-wrap dielectric. These cables are custom fabricated and hand soldered into the circuit.
d) Two additional hours of labor for a total of 6 hours.
The price of a Level-2 modification to your pair of amps is $1390.00 (excluding shipping) or $4890.00/pr plus freight for a new modified pair."
Η δοκιμή περιελάμβανε, ως όφειλε, τη σύγκριση των stock ενισχυτών με ένα αντίστοιχο ζευγάρι που έφερε τις Level-2 βελτιώσεις.
Το αποτέλεσμα:
"Without question, the modified Level 2s just sound livelier in some systems than the stock amps. Why that is should be obvious by now. Brighter and more forward always does. When bass is projected with greater snap and microdynamic impact, the music's pace seems to pick up as well. These are things that the Level 2 modification unquestionably brings to the Bel Canto's already bountiful table."
...αλλά:
"The two versions of the amps don't sound so different that you'll hear one pair in one shop and the other across town and be blown away by the difference. But side by side there are differences and important ones at that. They make choosing between the two amps a matter of deciding which one best suits your system."
