Match 4, Superphon verses Lyngdorf Superphon (amp N) By this round most people were not checking off specifics about the amps with the provided grading system. So we'll move straight to comments noted. Comments: More dynamic, more emotional, sounds "Big", more life, dynamic, fast, pleasing top end, ballsy, more life like, better imaging, very nice sounding over all, excellent dynamics and life, best so far, more information, sound comes out of speaker, vocals generally good on both but slightly different, better grip and attack perhaps better imaging on "N" (need to listen again). Lyngdorf (amp F) Comments: I didn't like it the first time, a little on the soft side, very pleasing, delicate but full sound, warm side of neutral, seams "flat" compared to "N", Not as much "life", still sounds better with female vocals than in round 1, choice of music has a big effect on the sound comparisons, smoother. Choices to circle for "Favored Amp" were: Barely, Slightly Favored, Favored, or Clearly Favored Choices to circle for "Differences" were: Very Subtle, Subtle, Slight but Clear, Clear, Clear in Areas, or Very Clear Amp Favored: 5 voted for "N". 2 circled "Favored", 1 circled "Clearly Favored" Differences: 2 circled "Clear", 1 circled "Vary Clear" 2 people did not pick a winner. With a complete majority the Superphon amp moved to the next round.
Foot note: We had a dry run of the comparing process the Saturday before the event. Amps present were Art, Lyngdorf, Superphon, Edge, Exodus, and the Sonic T-amp. The T-amp was not compared. There was a small group of three people here. The top two were: The Lyngdorf and the Superphon with an edge being given to the Lyngdorf for being a smoother sounding amp. The smoothly balanced sound of the Lyngdorf made it easy to listen to for extended periods.
