equipment stands are wider than most,<br />
we elected to operate the Mastersound<br />
on the floor, sitting on its built-in cones.<br />
That’s because we remember years ago<br />
reviewing another large tube amplifier,<br />
the Audiomat Opéra (UHF No. 69),<br />
and finding its bottom end a little<br />
lean. Placing it on the floor had made<br />
everything right again. Incidentally,<br />
our Moon W-8 reference amplifier<br />
also sits on cones, and we also have it<br />
on our hardwood floor.<br />
We decided to make this an allanalog<br />
session, and so we ran our Atlas<br />
Mavros cables directly from our phono<br />
preamplifier to the Mastersound. The<br />
amplifier has output posts for both<br />
4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers. Our Reference<br />
3a Supremas have a 4 ohm impedance,<br />
but we know from experience <strong>that</strong><br />
the 8 ohm output often sounds better,<br />
because the 8 ohm transformer winding<br />
has less wire. We thought <strong>that</strong>, if the<br />
amplifier didn’t seem to have enough<br />
muscle, we could always switch to the<br />
4 ohm tap.<br />
It never happened.<br />
The rest of this review of the Mastersound<br />
amplifier can be found in the<br />

UHF No. 92. Order the print issue from<br />
