What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Kinki Studio incorporates advanced microprocessor-controlled relay-based R2R stepped attenuators for volume control.
- They prioritize a direct-coupled design approach, eliminating capacitors from the signal path for increased signal purity.
- Kinki Studio amps often feature robust and oversized power supplies, incorporating multiple toroidal transformers for improved power delivery and channel separation.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "The shock came when Points of Authority by Linkin Park ( Tidal / Spotify ) started playing (I know, don't judge). The bass impact on the 00:19, 00:25, 00:35 and 00:40 marks was simply out of this world." (https://soundnews.net/amplifiers/power-amps/kinki-studio-ex-m7-power-amp-review-a-natural-bare-knuckle-pugilist)
- "The bass went lower than the lowest limbo champ, and with more power than The Mountain from Game of Thrones. More than once, I was startled by the bass dynamics." (https://www.soundstagesolo.com/index.php/equipment/amplifiers/281-kinki-studio-vision-thr-1-headphone-amplifier)
- "THR-1 is an all discrete solid-state amplifier with all its pros, but with a soundstage that is very reminiscent of tube-amplifiers. It throws it big and it throws it far and wide." (https://soundnews.net/amplifiers/headphone-amps/kinki-studio-vision-thr-1-review-a-gentle-giant)
- "Kinki Studio EX-M1 showcased itself in full glory very shortly past its arrival and left no room for guesswork. It turned out to be of a very rare breed, one of 'those' decks, the so-called game changers, a hardware able to flip a switch deep inside of a reviewer's head he wasn't even aware of."
