Sir Roberto,
 
After having changed the power supply connector (here we have not the same then you in Italy) I have been able to listen to the system. Superb, all is here, the music is into the house. Fabulous ! I don't regret the 300B I had. I just have to play with tone control to maybe be a little better.
 
Thank you for the devices that you have developped and thank you for ... the Music !
 
My best regards.
 
Pierre

Hello Roberto,
I have waited for some days before sending my impressions to you in order to clear the ideas to me on what to say.
The new Blu Eyes amp goes very well, regarding the previous version it has been an impressive improvement: the sound turns out more natural and it surprises you for the pleasure that communicates to you. The voices, above all the feminine ones, give goose bumps and a lot is the pathos that they transmit, the sound of the various instruments is very distinct and obviously it turns out the intensity and/or the variation of sonorous pressure during the executions.  For sure the LS3/5a monitor helps in all this but I have the impression  that is the simplification of the circuit that has performed the miracle - the reproduction of the voices remembers me the same that I obtained time ago from the FI 2A3 Single End amp.  What else to say? I propose you to change the name of your amp from Blue Eyes to Blue Heaven, and to think to a model to the state of the art, without compromises.


 thanks again
 Roberto,

Francesco

Hello Roberto,


How does it sound your creature? Magically well. All the parameters audio are improved of one full “spanna” in respect to my previuos MKI BLU EYES amp .. you were right: I stay for several hours in listening music like I hadn’t ever did  before: fantastic focalization of the sonorous stage (on this parameter regarding the previous model the change is monstrous), better impact of the base (now much more present, but perfectly controlled) and the high and medium range of absolute beauty. I did not believe that with one spold of the sort you could obtain so much.

 

The following impressions have been obtained listening to several sacd Pentatone (concerts for violin of Mozart, rimasterization of the Tosca) and other Mercury Living Presence (Starker to violoncello the Bach, Ancient airs of Respighi, Overtures di Suppč). Fantastic the execution of "your" Blu Eyes amp with the Messia di Handel Harmonia Mundi label Jacobs director.

 

Thanks a lot and .... hera you soon

PS: you are a truly wizard of amplifications!!!!!!!

Hello Roberto

I was promising to myself to write to you on Saturday evening or Sunday in order to be able to listen a bit more of music but...

Now I will say about the blue eyes amp. Not technical comments, not journalistic comments, not audiophile comments. Only one thing: PURE HAPPPPPINESS,

the foot incessantly strikes down, I want to dance, and often I have shivers. Truly much more than how much I expected to have together with my speakers and CDP in my home. Now I am a very happy man. Happy a lot.

I want to go and live in a great house, fill it up of Persian carpets and pillows of shaved and velvet (blue) because in my room I raise a bit the volume and the walls are folded, then I raise another little bit in order to see the blue eyes to light up a bit more and the floor starts to move.

I risk to get a report to the police, but music enters all within.

So it is very difficult to lower the volume (take care that up to last week, lowering the volume it was a requirement dictated by my hearing!!.

Blue is a colour that cracks, that it affects, that we danced (and that sweet sound like the rustling of the banknotes: -) )

Hello Roberto hear you soon (very soon, I hope)

Marcello

(naturally,... a lot of thanks)

Beloved RdC

You have gone to the essential thing, you have spoken with music and music has answered to you!

After your Blue Eyes 53 amp, Laura MKII speakers and the CD player IT-4 modification of Nakamichi CDP-2E, my audio system now is complete, (or nearly, I still lack your diabolic innovation on amp external P.S.U. with inductive filtering).

Every thing that arrived has had the power to move ahead in the deep meaning of each musical message surpassing it and making me entering always more also in the daily taste of the things.

The strange thing is that I had arrived toward you, without knowing anything about Royal Device, and that just happened simply searching for a cable manufacturer.

Then a telephone contact and an pleasant chat, have started the greatest musical revolution that I had never been able to imagine, simply having spoken to you and without even ever listened nothing of your systems.

How can I thank you? You have been able to bring in my home that particular truth of live music image I have always searched and never found into my previous audio system.

And the concerts of which I  am talking about are of classical music and Jazz with real true instruments and not pales electronic imitations ultra sampled from the modern technology.

Obviously no depreciation for them, but music of a  NOT amplified instrument is a complete different thing.

And then, be able to finally reproduce violins on a CD Player as they really are.

You have once said that your concept of sonorous reproduction, is to make your estimative customers as “terminal customers“,

That do not care anymore toward the search of continuous improvement of their system,

No more hit by continuous flatteries of the market that promise a lot of revolutionary improvements but nothing they maintain and never satisfy your necessities but they suck continuously your finances.

What you have said to me is true!

 

I am really astounded by the quality of the sound now reproduced by my new audio system and sold out without regret all  I had.

 

Finally I am simply seated to listen.

 

One cup of tea,

thanks.

 

With affection Roberto G.

Object: R: Blu Eyes Amps

Solid state Amps, Tube amps, industrial, handcraft products, visit to HI-FI exibitions, the path through which I have arrived to this amplifier have been rather long but at the end I have realized a system that  will not endure modifications for long  time. What I can say of this AMPS? That it is COMPLETELY WITHOUT Feed BACK (I don't know what this means, but I feel it!!). That they have OUTPUT transformers as tube amp s have (As per my knowledge only Mc Intosh adopt output transformers, but they are still Push Pull and use F.B.). That it can be adapted to the speaker impedance with more than 30 choices (Which other AMP has this option?). Etc, etc....... But this is not what I would like to focus on! I am not a technician and therefore to take part to these considerations and at the end the thing that I can truly say with absolute certainty is that it sounds divinely!

I have personally been to Roberto's house and I have had the pleasure to listen to its AUDIO ROOM (the experience is upsetting). I have also listen to its RD-300 tube amps that has an exceptional sound as well, but  the Blue Eyes maintains the same musicality with a greater power, greater scene definition, more depth, the 30 watt declares to you are true and in pure class A, but its best quality it is perhaps dynamics, the sense of presence of the instruments and the voices, this feeling I have only had on some systems of exagerated cost (Delle Curti says that this effect is due to feedback absence).

Laura Speakers - About these speakers there would be a lot to say and to write about. The synergy of these speakers with BLU EYES AMP and the RD cables is all there to be felt! What other may I say? .....

Well I can say that the value of this apparatus is much more high of its cost but it is better not to say to Delle Curti.

Hello Roberto,

Blue leds - during evening time with an enjoyble calm  sound level/the BLUE leds never light up. From here the curiosity of the power effectively distributed in this condition.

Out of this consideration, the amp it is truly spectacular: greatest definition starting from very low levels to very high, but still I have never seen the red PEAK LED to light up); sweeping dynamics, the fastest attack and I must say a great amount of bass (considering my speakers) never heard before. The highs are crystalline and smoth at the same time and of course never being drilling.

ANSWER: the Blu LED start to light up roughly around 2 Vrms (on 10 ohms it is less than 0,5 watts)

hello r,

 

I finally find a moment  in order to speak about the blu eyes amplifier.

 

Well, what may I say, .... these output transformers makes their bloody job! I must say that the difference is enough substantial and I do not understand why and for which intrinsic reason or connection or separated principle for the common human beings they do works so well, my hears give thanks to them anyway.......

 

I must say that today it is a great satisfaction and a great enjoyment to re-enter in my house in the week end and to be able to place myself in front of the Blu EYES amp.

 

At the moment it works really very well and I wish to anybody to have the possibility to meet you, to open their ears and make an examination of musical conscience and.........

THAT DID REALLY WORTH!

Well that's stop with compliments, otherwise you even stop to improve yourself, you open a assembly line, you enter in the shares, you assume a body guard,  buy a villa in Sardegna and most seriously you stop to listen to music....

 

that's all for today ........how it was the Belgian beer (not including that it was not so much)?

hello roberto

 

here is Aurelio

after a week that I have your BLUE EYES AMP and modified the PHILIPS  CD Player as you suggested, I can say  that I  finally can listen to  music in a very flowing way and  finally the CD Player restores the reality giving again to cd the right role of optimal mediator between us and the musical event.

With many amplifiers and CD Player that I have had, it was always happened to enter in judgments like:

deep, luminous, dark sound, low well rounded, veiled gray smoke, fat sound, and so on....

with this coupled of yours I have tried to give judgments without been able to give any sense, while immediately I came captured from music because the sound that was coming out was so harmonic, cleaned up and so dynamic that I was really  captured from the musical event.

I have been able to state that beyond speakers I use INFINITY MODULUS I have been able to appreciate also the sound of my DIY speakers with upper-middle with open panel and woofer in configuration reynault jons making them truly to disappear very projecting the sound behind the speakers maintaining the sonorous dynamics and different stage plans either in low and very lod levels of listening

thanks and a great regards from

Aurelio 

P.S. there is not another amp that can be compared with. Very delicate to give you the sound, so dynamic to semms to be much more powerfull, musical as the best analogue and so transparent to be able visualize the room where the musicians are performing. It can be compared with the best tube amp that has to still be designed, but not in production yet... I mean

My best purchase since 25 years upto date.

Hello Roberto,

I hope that you vacation has gone well.

 

I have amused myself to make a piece of furniture to the Blue Eyes amp in kit you sent me and I have come on a decent one in wood and plexiglas like you have suggested, but the problem to me is that it seems to me to have become deaf, if the comparison with the others three valve amplifiers I have, between them also your RD-300B.

 

The Blue eyes wins on all the other three, by my opinion hit has all the refinement of TRIODE TUBE AMPS but with an outstanding dynamic

 

My compliments to you, is something truly valid with a relationship sound/exceptional price.

 

Other thing that never does not end to astonish to me is the Rubina PHONO STAGE

 

I have made some modifications to my Rega turntable player and have mounted the new Benz Ace MC and the results are incredible, the sound is of an incredible beauty, I perceive an exceptional realism, also with  LPs with the most difficult music: classic music, as the concert for violin and orchestra of Tschaikowsky OP35, that I define a disc that kills audio systems.

 

It has happened to me more than once to be invited by audiophiles to listen to their audio system, and well, up to when they make you listen to modern music with amplified instruments, everything seems to be decent, but if you put Tschaikowsky OP35 with solo violin and arches with orchestra, music becomes a unacceptable roughness and then they begin to say that is the disc that sound badly, while that LP is an excellent Philips recording and with the Rubina phono stage and the Laura speakers everything comes out with an exceptional realism, it is the same approach of a live concert I have had attended to in August in Siena.

The problem is that there is no deaf worst than one who does not want to listen to..... or the problem is that it is me that I have become deaf?
