Dissun Original
We've grown used to good-looking affordably priced gear sourced from Chinaand we expect to see a lot more—but Dissun's Original electronics impressed us with novel engineering and solid design. Tetra's floorstanding 506es sounded solidly three dimensional with the CD-2008mk ($1598) and V-8 250Wpc dual mono integrated amplifier ($2898), which was listed as "hyper class-A."
"What's hyper class-A?" Wes asked. "We use circuitry to keep the signal from touching zero—it creates a warmer, more gutsy sound," we were told. Sounded good.
However, what really impressed us was the $2198 system consisting of a CD8, PS99 integrated amp, and Tetra WOW 120UB ($295/pair). A whole system for just over $2k? Not just that, but it looked great and sounded better—relaxed, rhythmic, and holographic. That's Original.
