smsl sp200 vs thx 789
Being 100% focused for a very long time is tiresome so I took few coffee breaks but in the end I have formed a very clear picture for all 3 units. Soundstage again took a hit and I need extra effort focusing on everything that is happening around me. There’s a new THX 888 Amp on the market now, SMSL SP200 Price wise it’s pretty competitive at $290 in the US with either Apos Audio who I got mine from and more recently Amazon. THX-789: Guitar is clear is very defined, the clocks on the left are also very clear and outlined. Bass is linear, extended and controlled but doesn’t kick in an instant, like it pulls the brakes a bit. January 20, 2020, 10:59pm #151. The background I would say it is just a hint greyer and not as black. This review is posted here in partnership with, . Carries impressive dynamics with an impressive impact into my eardrums.

Catchy, huh? An amazing performance. Very groovy and very pleasing, my ears are having an orgasm right now and I started head-banging. I'm also very curious if anyone has done sonic testing with sp200 vs the other brands of THX. Posted by just now. Soundstage size also took a small hit and everything just happens closer to me, it is a bit harder focusing on everything in a crowded track and the air bubbles are smaller in size. In terms of the noise floor, SP200 is indeed playing with the big boys like HPA4 and THX-789 and may put to shame some more expensive designs. The air moving on the right is also present and I hear somebody moving around there. All the imperfections are easily spotted, Roger voice is deep into the mix and seems really guttural. In terms of energy delivery, I am quite shocked how close this one is to HPA4. The raw mix between lots of drums, beats, jams, guitars and that groovy voice just moves me and lifts me up every time, HPA4 does this so impressively well and so easily, its like having the band in front of you, just for you. The drums kicks are harder sounding and are pushing forward more air. Carries a bit more weight with every note compared to THX-789, seems a bit more powerful to me. Being 100% focused for a very long time is tiresome so I took few coffee breaks but in the end I have formed a very clear picture for all 3 units. So alive, so hard kicking and so full of energy.

THX AAA-based amps have a reputation for their excellent measurements and fantastic clarity, so with SMSL releasing a cheaper competitor to the Drop THX AAA 789, and Schiit having just updated their Asgard 3, it made for an interesting review experience. As promised my 3-way comparison review between 3 THX-AAA headphone amps is ready and here are my findings. This comparison was was much harder to do, since all 3 units excel at transparency, detail retrieval and transient response and I needed to re-listen multiple times majority of those songs. The mix again is not crowded but decompressed and it’s quite easy focusing on anything I want. Overall, the energy is on a high level and this is an enjoyable moment. The raw mix between lots of drums, beats, jams, guitars and that groovy voice just moves me and lifts me up every time, HPA4 does this so impressively well and so easily, its like having the band in front of you, just for you. is a very good example of that. Background is not the blackest, this is where SP200 is losing a bit of terrain that it gained in the dynamics department. So take care when you plug or unplug the cables. report. Glass smashing sounds fake and weird. Sounds are closer to me and some of them are not so scary real. I’m sorry to disappoint the THX-789 crowd but for this type of music I enjoy SP200 just a bit more with its energetic and hard kicking approach. The Drop 789 amplifier has since been joined by newcomers to the market also packing THX amplification technology, namely Monoprice’s Monolith Desktop amplifier, and the subject of today’s review – the SP200 from SMSL. Archived. HPA4: From the first seconds it is impressive how deep the big tambour can sound; it moves a lot of air and goes impressively low in bass regions.
