Ewen 601, 602 are slow and coloured to combine with Cyrus- sorry for this. Cyrus in combination with such speakers show what is hidden in him. This week I organised for Cyrus a pair of shelf speakers Cabasse Corvette 300. I had no problem with mechanical parts, amp works now on 100%. I also like unique connection and binding posts. Sound in my system is completely out from boxes and farleft, farright from speakers.īild quality for such old amp is very solid. Projection of sound into space is stunning. Brio is also warmer, more tolerant to crappy CDs than Cyrus. Brio has more power, control, better high end for sure bigger balls mainly in bass than this old Cyrus. And soundstageing is more accurate than with Brio. I have not seen any written specs but I estimate it is somewhere in the 50W per channel region. The looks is quite the same but the cover is made of metal rather than plastic. Distortion is listed at 0.1, but we have to consider that in the context of the mighty power combined with the versatility it offers at a very reasonable price point. In fact the amplifier I am describing is a Mission Cambridge - one which is similar to Mission Cyrus. Cyrus 4th Gen Class D in nature, with a large toroidal linear power supply, it outputs at 100w to 6ohms. It could really drive Iroise speakers till medium-high loudness no problem.īut old Cyrus One in my opinion has more transparency, more energy in low mids and high bass than last Brio. I guessed where to post this review - under Cyrus 1 or Cyrus 2. Last Year had at home cca two weeks Rega Brio 2017. Speakers were old Cabasse Iroise 500(no joke, I tried this tiny little amp with just 2x25 watts with those big girls). As sources I used my Audia CD2 and RegaP25/Benz Glider SL/Rega Aria combo. (As more times before) Cyrus company I know but I have newer ever owened anything from them.īut connecting now clean amp with fully alloy chassis to my big rack I started to be shocked. MISSION CYRUS ONE Stereo Integrated Amplifier 50Watts RMS Vintage 1984 Good Look - 440.34. Production label this little toy was produced 1989.I asked myself what the scrap I have again purchased. Just later I found it is Mission Cyrus one MK7, last revision. It is a completely functional package, providing the essentials without compromise.Hello! Just last week I found in China textile shop (?!)some lost old totaly dirty amp. With its minimalist appeal and compact dimensions, the Cyrus One allows the listener to record from one source while listening to another and will accept the signal from high quality moving-coil cartridges as well as from the more common moving-magnet types. The Cyrus One has the capacity to accept five separate signal sources serving as the basis for a comprehensive hi-fi system. In addition to structural integrity not demonstrated by any other amplifier at or near the Cyrus price range, these features improve the sonic fidelity by dispelling mechanical resonances, circuit microphony and airbourne radio frequency interference. The cabinet and chassis are designed to do more than just elegantly cover the Cyrus interior: the case itself is made from a precision diecast non-ferrous metal alloy, while the chassis with integral heatsink made of diecast aluminium. The signal integrity is preserved, even through this short path, by the use of only the finest components, including military grade power transistors and selected passive elements. To keep the signal as pure as possible, the Cyrus One features ‘minimalist’ circuitry devoid of the non-essential stages which interrupt the signal path.

This is the heart of the amplifier, the source of its stress free sound. It demonstrated unequivocally, that an audiophile integrated amplifier was well within the grasp of the music lovers without the funds to indulge in exotica.ĭesigned by Cyrus to handle demands of modern loudspeakers and wide bandwidth recordings, the Cyrus One featured an exceptional power supply capable of responding to the source material requirements. The appearance of the Cyrus One in 1984 upset this established norm and revolutionised the audio industry. Traditionally budget amplification was considered to have “budget sound”.
