    Re: Enleum AMP-23R integrated amplifier

    It’s a gift, what can I say.

    Hopefully I find gear that everyone can love at not crazy prices.

    Mine is wonderful, especially on my Fleetwood Deville speakers. Even the headphone part is supposed to be great, I’m not a headphone guy.

    While I love the super expensive gear, it’s difficult for me to justify these days. I love finding the undiscovered jems.

    Joe, is this a Class D amp?

    BTW, as you have an AkitikA amp, do you know of any good preamplifier kits? I feel like building something again.

    As far as I know it's Class AB, but definitely NOT Class D.

    Akitika does make a preamp kit that's supposed to be really good.

    Bakoon aka Enleum are the brainchild of Akira Nagai. Soo Chae was a customer turned partner in that he licensed the technology and built his version in Korea in a sexier chassis.

    Nagai-san's amps are class A/B, his claim to fame is the exclusive use of transimpedance circuit topology which he perfected for audio amplification. To get the most out of his gear he recommends staying with his DAC, phono preamps, etc otherwise the signal will go through an unnecessary voltage to impedance conversion depending on inputs used, which is why he has BNC for linking his gear and RCA for connecting traditional voltage gain components.

    Re: Enleum AMP-23R integrated amplifier

    These Bakoons sound extremely good….demoing the bigger Korean one. And in short, things are lit up, even at first volume. The pace is so much more to my liking and what I’m used to.

    Re: Enleum AMP-23R integrated amplifier

    Fwiw, I replaced the fuse with a HiFi Tuning Supreme and I like the change. Highs a bit more extended and smoother, a bit more resolution/transients, and a bit more control on lower registers.

    I know a lot of people debate the value of fuse changes, and I'm sure no expert on the electrical engineering of it (it doesn't make sense to me frankly that all that power that we spend so much cleaning up, passes through this tiny wire). But my brain tells me there's some difference. Then again, my g/f regularly asks me if I'm brain-damaged.

    Re: Enleum AMP-23R integrated amplifier

    Thanks Joe for bringing my attention to this amp. I just brought it home for the weekend.

    It is a very good amp. Very good tone and microdynamics. This thing certainly is fast, without beeing bright or etched. It doesn't have the bass slam of bigger amps (even on easy to drive speakers) and lacks some openess on top, but is a fun amp to listen to.

    I only wish it didn't get so hot (it gets all Krell FBP or Pass XA hot at idle - you can hold your hand on it for longer than a few seconds).

    Anyone know when they will come out with a matching dac or phono? I love the small size, design and sound.
