I met the CANON people some years ago in the factory in Slowakia and I was really impressed the way they work. This was not the tiny High-End workshop, but a real factory with proper production and serious know-how in technology. They came to me one day all the way down to Essen to listen to some amps together with BORG and I was blown away. That was not what I expected! So whatever we tested from them turned out to be really great. The Phono Preamp never left my listening room and we are just waiting for some new devices to arrive at our place soon. :-)
Well done Terry again another detailed review. What I like is that you put your views across in a way that new audiophiles can understand. As for the comments below, I hope it’s water of a ducks back . Master and slave ... WTF .. the world has gone mad. Keep up the good work my man, 99% of normal Peps really enjoy your insightfulness.
@@PursuitPerfectSystem thanks , I am fine. i hope you are doing well Terry. it would be great to see you during the Munich show... if it runs of course...
It will be the Fink Team Borg one that shows what I am referring to and the Piega one as well David mate. Got the system dialled in properly for the Borg, it wasn't quite right for the Piega been hard at it
Nice review, they made them 30km from me in Presov. Saw canor once on exhibition here, never heard them. Im curious if u review some of Vincent products in future :P, im big Vincent fan and they made very interesting gear i think (price vs money) they mostly do hybrids but i realy love that tube creamy smooth mids and deep bass. Thank you for your reviews man, u do a nice job, and i love your reviews.
There are many competitors in this segment Jeff Rowland PassLabs Some Accuphase and McIntosh models etc... hope to hear where these fit in this segment. Thanks for your take here.
thank you for bringing the review of Canor brand to wider audience. Any plans for Phono? (I know, you do not have "vinyl analogue" part in your system ... just asking) You may mention the cables brand you used with (signal and power cables)
The system I used to review the amps is all listed in the video description. I wouldnt review any vinyl products maybe basic ones because it would be hypocritical of me to form any meaningful opinions as I don't have the experience and knowledge. I would rather just be honest and I hope to learn so this can change at some point but only so many hours in the day :) thanks for the kind comments
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Thank you for your reply. And, I should read better - indeed, you ALL details in the comments. For A-Class - how is the heat from the heatsinks in M/S combination?
... and you did comment that at the end of the interview - you commented exactly what I wanted to learn. It is NOT nuclear hot, but it will warm up the room (guessing especially when amp is not switched off)
My room is sealed for listening, its very well insulated for keeping sound in and out and then I have a lot of acoustic treatment in the room, so more insulation - if a rooms is getting hot its my room, it gets oven like and bear in mind its not a hot time of year, its not cold either though you notice the heat the amps are giving out but its not that bad - hope that helps some
Is it the space between the amps that makes the difference by maybe mitigating noise, crosstalk and interference? Or is it cos of the fact that each speaker has it's own power amp? They are the same amps and it seems that the difference is only due to the separate amps.
Hi Terry :) I really enjoyed this review... Im currently in the market for a Class A SS amp, and the Canor has come to my attention, do you have any ideá what kind of transistors Canor are using in this amp? I cant find any information about it.... The other amp im looking at is the Pass Labs INT25... i know its more expensive then the Canor... But i like the ideá that the Canor can be linked... Thx for the review :)
How much is class A ? 10-15watts probably under 12 watts there's no way it's going to be much higher than that they would need the transformer would be the size of the unit itself only if it's class D power supply what doesn't look like
Hey Terry... How would you compare the Diablo 300 to the Canor? I'm presently demoing the Diablo as I'm in the market for a new integrated... just curious on your take... Thanks.
Totally off topic. Cables. What cable makes the biggest difference to a system as a first upgrade. TQ loop. Digital rca. Analogue rca or speaker cable?
I think TQ suggest speaker cables first, but it might be worth putting an email into them and asking specially about what range your looking at and they will suggest the best way to go, I am really not sure buddy, all at the same time :)
@@oohtob6685 probably speaker from those 3, I was very surprised by how much difference the recent balanced cables A/B demo I did showed, thats not rca though :)
Robert I think your being a little bit harsh there mate, its just an introduction few words to try and explain this video is 2 reviews in one and to try and raise the excitement level a little bit - why would someone click on a review video if they are not interested in the video topic man, that's a bit of a given really so its pretty safe comment to make I feel
Its not intended to be offensive to anyone, its a technical term to explain the difference between that type of connection and a maybe a daisy chain which is obviously different

Awwsome review TERRY! Nice build quality glad you pop the Hood also !
Thanks for this review Terry. Enjoying one AI 1.20 in my system. 😉
Thanks Igor, I hope you are keeping well :) Hopefully see you at some point late next year in Warsaw if the World is moving again
@@PursuitPerfectSystem thanks , I am fine. i hope you are doing well Terry. it would be great to see you during the Munich show... if it runs of course...
@@igor-xl4xs yeah good point sorry yes I will hopefully see you there Igor
Great review Terry. Love your enthusiasm. Hopefully the Bristol show will be on in 2021 and these will be there for me to listen to.
Thanks Ian I think that is a very strong possibility Ian mate I hope so for sure
Congratulations on your review here. Insightful 👍👻
Awesome review and thank you for that ! What a incredible combo…I wonder how two AI 1.10 combined would sound like…
Awesome no doubt !! Thanks btw
Enticing review Terry. I'm sure the sound demo will bare out your accolades.
Thanks
It will be the Fink Team Borg one that shows what I am referring to and the Piega one as well David mate. Got the system dialled in properly for the Borg, it wasn't quite right for the Piega been hard at it
Enjoyed this review. How does the Gryphon Diablo 300 compared to a single or pair of these?
Thanks for this !

Thanks man, Canor make really nice gear when you get hands on with it you appreciate it even more
počul som ich mašinky, ešte z čias EDGAR, takže odporučam, kto má rád mäkkosť, ľahkosť(bez kompromisov) CANOR je Top !

how hot does the Canor get when comparing it to the Gryphon diablo 300. Grtz Phil
Not sure I understood how the link is cabled I have to watch it again 😳😊

Do you think this would match with sasandu sb acoustics ? And a tube pre from canor?
Ok Gryphon 300 is winner, not surprisingly given the number of watts on hand, 300W class ab vs 30W class a
As you move up the gryphon range the power comes down but they are all pure class a

@@PursuitPerfectSystem thanks for that. Just thought with your experience with TQ what made the biggest upgrade difference out of the 3 connections.
@@oohtob6685 probably speaker from those 3, I was very surprised by how much difference the recent balanced cables A/B demo I did showed, thats not rca though :)
@@PursuitPerfectSystem thanks for that.
Yeah id go balanced all the way unfortunately only intergrated amp has it. 😭
Do you plug both left and right channels into the master amp or one channel in the master amp and the other channel into the slave amp？
You plug into each amplifier separately with the left and right analogue signal like you would any mono block amplifiers
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Thanks. So it is a mono block preamp + mono block poweramp？
@@johnlong9862 I didn't twig until after but yes which is great true mono signal path and maybe why they are so good
@@PursuitPerfectSystem 👍MONO BLOCK INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER !👍
I wonder if you can daisy chained a few of these amps into a muti-channels system.
@@johnlong9862 i dont know:)
Why dont you let the viewer decide whether its interesting, it is so bloated of you to determine that it is de facto “interesting”

Hi-Fi components are de facto interesting so I guess it was pretty accurate 🙂
@ Robert Gough Shaaaaaaaaaaaadaaaaaaappp!
Off to the safe space for you
Awesome review but please do not say master/slave in terms again.

Oh no, a 'woke' comment me thinks......how would you like it described?
@@ianstyring9602 Perhaps Primary and Secondary. That's what Kef calls them with the LS50Wii.
Go somewhere else to be a snowflake. Pathetic... MASTER&SLAVE. That is the term......
