Kinki Studio hifi components

The Vision THR-1 headphone amplifier is designed to literally power any headphone. The RMS output power is 2.2 Watt at 300Ω and 1.3 Watt at 600Ω. It has 3 headphone outputs, two Neutrik 6.3-mm jack plugs (one for low and one for high impedance headphones), and one balanced Neutrik 4-pin connector for use with balanced headphones.

The Vision THR-1 is equipped with genuine premium components from the best manufacturers, such as AMPLIMO, Mouser, DigiKey and Farnel. These components not only guaranteed the durability of the product, but also ensured the consistency of the sound quality in the long term.

Neutral sound, balance over all frequencies with little or no coloration and extremely low distortion were the targets for the THR-1. That is certainly succeeded. The extra large EXICON MOSFET output transistors offer a strong control and excellent drive. The smallest details and the largest dynamic jumps are easily heard. Even on the difficult to drive AKG K1000, the music reproduction is exceptionally good.

The THR-1 can be used as a Preamp, by means of a rocker switch next to the volume knob. The headphone output is switched off in preamplifier mode. The volume of the preamplifier output can be controlled with the volume knob, as a passive preamplifier.

The Kinki EX series is tuned to reproduce sound with a balanced mid and a smooth high and low.

The EX-M1 is completely modular, a dual mono design in a single chassis. This integrated amplifier is rich in sound quality, details, dynamics and high resolution.

The EX-M1 is equipped with 0.2 micrometer gold-plated printed circuit boards (PCB). The designer is well aware of the limitations of PCBs and their fine contact area, therefore he specifically enlarged each soldered connection and as much shielding as possible is added. The amplifier has two 400VA encapsulated transformers. One for the left and right channels each, to improve the channel separation, to prevent that the channels interfere with each other.

The EX-M1 is a rare powerful integrated amplifier in its price range. It can deliver 215Watt (8Ω), both channels driven, and can literally handle any speaker.

Neutrality and musicality were the goals that had to be achieved, as well as rich tonal quality, vivid imagery of sound, details, high resolution and dynamics. The choice of components, the design and fine tuning do exactly that.

It is the sound signature of the Kinki Studio products.

The Kinki EX series is tuned to reproduce sound with a balanced mid and a smooth high and low.

The EX-M1+ is, on almost all points, equal to the fantastic EX-M1. All the good things have remained and so they sound equally good, but by popular demand a preamp output and a home theater input (bypass) have been added. The preamp output can be switched on and off with the redesigned remote control. The EX-M1+ can therefore be used as a preamplifier, integrated amplifier and in addition, a power amplifier can also be connected for bi-amping, for example. A subwoofer can now also be connected and integrated more easily into the set.
The home theater bypass input can also be switched on/off with the new remote control. When this is switched on, the preamplifier stage is bypassed and the EX-M1+ can be used as a power amplifier.

The EX-M1+ is completely modular, a dual mono design in a single chassis. This integrated amplifier is rich in sound quality, details, dynamics and high resolution.

The EX-M1+ is equipped with 0.2 micrometer gold-plated printed circuit boards (PCB).

The Kinki EX series is tuned to reproduce sound with a balanced mid and a smooth high and low.

The EX-P7 is a class A preamplifier with completely discrete input and output stages. This preamplifier is rich in sound quality, details, dynamics and high resolution.

The EX-P7 is equipped with 0.2 micrometer gold-plated printed circuit boards (PCB). The designer is well aware of the limitations of PCBs and their fine contact area, therefore he specifically enlarged each soldered connection and as much shielding as possible is added. The amplifier has two AMPLIMO transformers. One for the left and right channels each, to improve the channel separation, to prevent that the channels interfere with each other. The EX-P7 is actually a dual mono preamplifier.

These transformers are each encapsulated in a CNC-milled aluminum block. Together with the aluminum housing, EMI / EMC (Electro Magnetic Pollution) has no influence.

Neutrality and musicality were the goals that had to be achieved, as well as rich tonal quality, vivid imagery of sound, details, high resolution and dynamics. The choice of components, the design and fine tuning do exactly that.

The EX-P27 is a class A preamplifier with completely discrete input and output stages. This preamplifier is rich in sound quality, details, dynamics and high resolution.

The EX-P27 is equipped with 0.2 micrometer gold-plated printed circuit boards (PCB). The designer is well aware of the limitations of PCBs and their fine contact area, therefore he specifically enlarged each soldered connection and as much shielding as possible is added. The PCB has been improved compared to the P7 for an even better sound quality.

The amplifier has three encapsulated transformers. One for the left and right channels each, to improve the channel separation, to prevent that the channels interfere with each other. The EX-P27 is actually a dual mono preamplifier. The last transformer is used to power the screen, volume control (relay based R2R 95 stepped attenuator). These transformers are each encapsulated in a CNC-milled aluminum block. Together with the aluminum housing, EMI / EMC (Electro Magnetic Pollution) has no influence.

De Kinki EX-series is tuned  to reproduce sound with a balanced mid and a smooth high and low.

De Kinki Studio EX-M7 stereo power amplifier is a beefed-up version of the great power amp stages of the EX-M1 integrated amplifiers. In the EX-M7 two double encapsulated 400VA torodial transformers, 2 pairs of EXICON MOSFETs and huge power reservoir capacitor banks are used. This results in a even more powerful power amplifier. What remained are the rich tonality, details, transparency, high resolution and high speed.

The amplifier is direct DC-coupled amplifier, without a capacitor in the signal path. This yields in less coloration. Tube based pre-amplifiers (with a possible DC-offset) are therefore not recommended to be used with this amplifier.

Technical details:

• Frequencyrange: 0-2.5MHkHz (±3dB)
• Total Harmonic Distortion: ≤0,07%
• Signal Noise Ratio: >103dB
• Output Power: 225W (8Ω), 310W (4Ω) both channels driven
• Short term peak power: 400W (8Ω)
• Max  Output Voltage: 70VAC
• Input sensitivity: 1,45Vrms
• Input impedance: 51kΩ
• Inputs: 1 x RCA, 1 x XLR (balanced)
• Outputs: 4mm Loudspeaker output
• 12V trigger (for HT integration)
• Size (H*W*D): 430mm * 110mm * 375mm
