Image HiFi review of PH-77 (Part 1)
 Mr Roland Kraft said "The Egg Laying Wool Milk Pig PH-77...performs at such a high level, in my opinion, a lot of discussion completely unnecessary." Bearing in mind that Mr Roland Kraft is one of the few "great wizard" reviewers in Germany (probably in the world) with the description of PH-77's features, the review pointed out the choice of de-emphasis curves is described as a godsend (with the Enhanced RIAA even kept for the next part as something very, very special). Part 2 will follow in the coming months...
English translation of Part 1 to follow.

AMR CD-77 Lands Coveted Image HiFi Best Digital Product 2010
AMR received the prestigious Image HiFi "Best Digital Source Award 2010" during the recent Munich High-End Show. This accolade is a real honour for the AMR CD-77 Compact Disk Processor: first, the customer base of this market remains heavily involved in playing vinyl. Second, the traditionally conservative culture means that few foreign brands manage to make inroads.

CD-777 Review by Stereo Video & Multimedia
Stereo Video & MultiMedia from the CIS wrote this very nice synopsis of the AMR CD-777:
"The AMR CD-777 has an amazing tonal accuracy and keeps pace with changes in the pace of the sound. But at the same time, it is not devoid of emotion, this is a key characteristic of any equipment wishing to be considered a "thoroughbred" in this category which the CD-777 has certainly stated its credentials."

AMR CD-77 review by Stereo Video and MultiMedia of CIS/UKR
Mr Nikolay Mikheyev, the reviewer remarked:
"Impressive design, this is a "Museum" package" "Specifically the sound of "British" machines – is liveliness, as well as focus on details and their harmonious combination and an excellent transfer of nuances."
"The broad bandwidth and tonal accuracy of sound the CD-77 is perfect: from the bottom to the top - no coloration, protrusions, such as romance. The low frequency performance of this "battleship" is just the tops."
Many thanks Mr Mikheyev.

AMR in Teo Cable Room at Montreal Show
AMR courtesy of the very generous and diligent team at Teo Cables was invited to exhibit the CD-77 Compact Disk Processor at the Salon & Son Image Magazine 2010 Audio Show in Montreal. This is not small show, held over the weekend of 25th-28th March, there were some 8,000 or so visitors. We were most pleased to see the following comments by Art Dudley from Stereophile:
"On a number of occasions I've heard the CD-77 CD player from Abbingdon Music Research sound wonderful: organic, textured, and altogether analogish. Today was no exception, as proven by the latest 77.1 version of the AMR player ($9995)...The system was invitingly detailed without a trace of tizz, and while I'm not the sort who obsesses over imaging, I admit that I was charmed by the Teo speakers' very inviting spatial qualities. Also on display but in use during my visit was the Feickert Blackbird turntable (approximately $7500), for which the word "interesting" seems a cruel understatement."

Audio Technique from Hong Kong was certainly impressed by not only the sound, but also the build quality of the CD-77:
"AMR's philosophy is one of no compromise. The titanium colour is modern and is the first suggestion that advanced technology lies beneath. There is a large acrylic front panel that resembles a pair of dark shades behind which the LCD is located. Even the front buttons are touch-sensitive. The overall look and feel is undoubtedly one of serious technology at work." "It designs and builds products from the heart - as indicated by the extremes to which they go. The remote control is hewn from solid aluminium, not too heavy and not too light, with a nice solid feel about it when it is held in the palm of the hand."

|
Held over the weekend of 19th to 21st March, Portugal's AudioShow was the 17th show and this year, it returned to its roots as it was dominated by 2-channels systems with far fewer home cinema setups. AMR was exhibited in both hotel locations courtesy of Ultimate Audio (AMR: Portugal). Both the CD-77 and PH-77 Reference Class products shone. The former aroused interest with two of the most prestigious reviewers in the Portugese audio press. The latter garnered lavish praise from one of the most well-respected vinyl specialists, Mr Rui Borges who rated the PH-77 as "one of the best phono stages” that he has had the pleasure of auditioning" Read more

| AMR CD-777 review by HiFi Choice
|
HiFi Choice summed up the CD-777's impressive construction "Among the cherry-picked components inside the casework are hand-made transformers in the power supply and NOS valves called 6H1N-EV in the analogue stage. Even the transport is custom built, using a high-torque motor, Sony K-Series laser pick-up and a Philips CD-18 servo system...By using aircraft-grade aluminium to build the CD-777 casework, AMR has produced a stunning piece of kit. It's enhanced by windows that let you see the electronics within (including the glow of the valves), while letting the heat out. "
Most important of all is the sonic performance which HiFi Choice gave a full 5 out of 5 stars and said "...This is one of the most natural-sounding digital sources I have heard in ages, it is tonally delightful and that's not something you often read about a CD player."

| AMR CD-777 Review
|
 |
By 6moons' Srajan Ebaen, "The general audio trend continues to pursue more apparent detail. Movies and advertising too go after flashier shock values to romance shortened attention spans and desensitized senses. Against such a zeitgeist, the CD-777 embodies a bit of nostalgia for slower times. Progressive upsampling can turn it edgier if desired but this nearly defeats the entire project brief. This machine wasn't intended to sound like all the others." We are pleased to hear Srajan confirm that the CD-777 is more "analogue" than "hifi" which is music to our ears.
"If so, the triple seven would in fact be closer to my old Zanden memories than the double seven was. For €3.500, that'd be one helluva achievement."
Fellow 6moons correspondent, Edgar Kramer also commented: "It’s surprising how much performance they managed to extract from the CD-777 when compared to the CD-77."

The world's first review of the CD-777 by HiFi Music certainly landed with a bang: "The AMR CD-777 is a digital player rich in technology, which has been designed and built almost to the same level as the company's flagship CD-77. After spending some time with the CD-777, I can testify with absolute sincerity, that this player is pretty hard to beat. For one who is looking for a digital player, the CD-777 is more than just a CD player, with excellent musical reproduction of tonal colors at all frequencies and a subtle hint of warmth, it certainly deserves an audition."Read more

AMR continues to enhance its reputation in the US with its new Premier Class 777
range of components.
Judging by the very positive reception, the Premier Class machines look set to be
just as well received as the 77 Reference Class components.
Not to be outdone, the CD-77 and PH-77 were also present in the Al Steifel Legacy
room and the Daedalus Audio room.
The RMAF saw a slight increase in visitors to 3,700 and it has now probably
overtaken CES as the de facto audio show in the US. Further, the first "CanJam" was
a good litmus test of the rising popularity of "Generation iPod" which is set to
maintain its upswing.

this machine are dispelled and we quickly come to one conclusion - without doubt
this CD player reproduces music in a most realistic way."
"This is an extremely elegant and noble machine. It is not a Ferrari, but a Bentley!"
"This is music in its purest form of bit correct analogue reproduction! It is these
associations that bring to our mind, vinyl." Read more Read original report in Polish

To say the least, for a country with a population of some 24 million (approximately one-third that of the UK's) this is a large home electronics show.
Despite Typhoon Morakot hitting southern Taiwan (our thoughts and wishes go out to the families affected Typhoon Morakot), the Taiwan Audio Association’s 2009 show held at the Sheraton Hotel in Taipei (capital city based in the north of Taiwan) went ahead and surprisingly, witnessed a strong turnout despite the best efforts of the inclement weather.Read more

| AFTER 80 YEARS, AMR’S PH-77 PHONO EQUALISER HAS ARRIVED |
With AMR’s PH-77 Reference Class Phono Equaliser, Vinyl Pressings May Now Finally Be Optimised for Correct Playback
London, U.K. – 3 July 2009 - After years of extensive in-house development and close collaboration with recording engineers and archivists from the BBC; the British Library Sound Archive; The Institut fur Rundfunktechnik GmbH and Sveriges Radio AB, AMR is pleased to announce it has commenced shipping of the PH-77 Reference Class Phono Equaliser. |
| |
|
The PH-77 is the only phonograph source able to lay claim to exclusively feature a comprehensive catalogue of 22 equalisation (EQ) curves4: every LP record ever made may now be replayed using the one and only correct equalisation curve.
With unorthodox approaches to the circuit design, along with rare and primarily bespoke components, the AMR PH-77 Phono Equaliser paints a sonic picture that is so seductively vivid, beautiful and harmonically rich, it possesses an enthralling live performance-like quality that after listening, one is left struggling for superlatives.
Together with 8 levels of gain; 64 steps of load; 3 inputs for unprecedented flexibility in cartridge choice/matching and an onboard 24bit/96kHz Analogue-to-Digital converter, the PH-77 is undeniably, one of the most significant reference phonograph sources ever produced.Read more

| |
|
The Generic FuseTraditionally, one of the weakest points in any typical component is the fuse. This is because standard electrical fuses do not take into account the needs of a high quality audio or video system as they are typically made from:- Thin glass tube body: microphonic issues
- Low-grade metal spiral wire: microphonics, added inductance and power degradation issues
- Low-grade metal end caps: poor contact, power degradation issues

"Let me cut to the chase - the AMR CD-77 just flat out knocked my socks off!!" ... "The AMR’s most impressive attribute is the sonic portrait
it paints as a whole – a 'whole' greater than the sum of its impressive parts." ... "Considering its competition, the AMR is as close to an audio
‘steal’ as you can get." ... "The more I tried to concentrate on the sound, the more I found myself unable to do anything but tap my foot, sing
along and play air guitar! To put it succinctly, for what I was commissioned to do (critically analyze it), it was a reviewer’s nightmare and a
music lover’s dream. So I did what any music lover would do - I purchased it!" ...

CD-77 - 2008 HiFi+ UK - Review by Roy Gregory
"Line this up alongside the vast majority of €10K Audiophile players and it makes them look cheap,
in some cases downright shoddy..."
"This impressive players steps straight into the slot ... as the new benchmark for serious high-end performance."
" ... the sound of this player is engagingly lively, pacey and substantial. ... It’s this ability to rise to meet the
qualities in a performance, to match the scale and drama that makes the AMR so special, elevating it
into exclusive company indeed."
"Whether it’s a stretched out, bluesy jazz line, slashing guitar heroics or a beautifully turned orchestral phrase,
this player allows the music to deliver, allowing you to relax and enjoy it."

Abbingdon Music Research at the Top Audio Show: Milan - Report
The Show season kicked off as AMR for the first time, attended the Top Audio Show in Milan
courtesy of ProAudio Italia, its Distributor for Italy.
The Show ran from 13th - 16th September (inclusive); a 4-day show (9.30am-7pm) which is
most unusual. According to the organisers, the total number of visitors was 20,000: to put this
into context, the Munich Show has 12,000 visitors and the VAD Show has 8,000 visitors. We
believe each Show organiser has its own method of calculating the number of visitors, so
despite a very large ttendance, we would put it more or less en par with Munich.

Features and Sound Quality
From the hegemony of technical fads...
In the latter half of the 20th Century, the rise of the marketing department at many an audio company led to our being told that we
absolutely needed and had to have amplifiers with triode valves; then tetrode valves; then with transistors; then with mosfets or
bipolar outputs.
Recently, having come a complete full circle, we are once again, told we need triode valves; as long as they were single-ended
and put out no more than two watts. (note: your author is not disapproving any of these features, merely stating them).
