Het gerenommeerde Enjoy the Music.com heeft 9 maanden geleden al een enthousiaste recensie van de Limetree Bridge gedaan. Doordat de Bridge zo goed beviel, werd de interesse ook gewekt voor de Musicbook componenten. Dus eindigde een set met Musicbook Source en Power500 eindversterker op de testbank van Clive Meakins. Zijn conclusie met het eindoordeel en een “Best of 2020 Award” verraste Lindemann enorm.
De conclusie van deze uitgebreide test:
“The Lindemann Musicbook SOURCE and POWER 500 do not do euphony, they instead provide playback which is highly accurate to the recording. Please don’t “read between the lines” thinking that I’m saying the sound is clinical – I’m not and it isn’t. The digital conversion, re-sampling and preamp sections of the SOURCE are clearly very well designed with much experience being in-play here. The POWER 500 and 1000 are based on the excellent HyexNcore Class D amplifiers which are possibly the best measuring and most accurate and “straight-wire-gain” amplifiers on the market. Lindemann add flavor to the Ncore via their own input buffer. I compared the POWER 500 with another Class D amp I had to hand, as well as a couple of Class A/B. The other Class D came closest, matching the POWER 500 in the bass but not achieving the same level of transparency in the mid and treble nor in dynamics. So that’s a great result for the POWER 500″
