RKV MARK 3 ultra highend headphone tube amplifier
___________________
The new RKV MARK 3 headphone tube amplifier is a beauty. It's ability to render fully
believable, 3D images, replete with harmonic richness is unparalleled. That's what it
comes back to, again - music. Amid all the subjective observations and objective
measurements that one can muster, the ineffable, emotional feel of the music is what
many of us are seeking. And it will be so easy you'll wonder how you ever survived
without it. The RKV MARk 3 is simply such a stellar performer it doesn't leave much
left to be desired.
AudioValve puts most of our budget towards the sound quality of our design and
components rather than all of the audio jewellery and marketable designs featured by
some of the comparable sounding amplifiers on the market. We would say on sound
alone it outclasses its price point, for design and fit and finish it fulfils our
expectations of an established company in this price range. Sound wise this amplifier
ticks all the boxes, great tonality, world class 3D sound stage, a noise floor on par
with all but the very best valve based amplifiers, and macro and micro dynamics in
spades. The sound quality of the RKV MARK 3 is of absolute top reference level for
an OTL based headphone tube amplifier. The pros to this are rock very low noise
floor, low distortions, high frequency range, high damping, very natural and musical
tonality, wide impedance matching, perfect open sound stage and so on. This amp
isn't for the weak of heart - this is an audioholic's . Highly recommended is an
understatement, we can't tell you how impressed we have been with the development
of this headphone tube amplifier.
