Funny, how preamps sound different. When I dropped a 520 in my Dart system it didn't sound good at all. It was very bright. Just for grins I dropped my 720 into my Dart system and it sounded great. Not as good as the 720/710 combo but really good.

The 5 series came out first with the new power supplies, now with the 7 series also having the new power supply the ranking is restored.

That was touched on in the review of the latest 7 Series (701-711-725) products in the January issue of Absolute Sound. The newer products are back on top.

I'll give a full report on the 520/501 combo once I install the 520 and its had the chance to break in. I auditioned the 540/520/501 combo at a dealer and we experimented by adding and subtracting the 520. I felt the sound with the 520 was smoother, more textured, had greater density and conveyed more nuance that without the 520. We'll see what results my system yields. Best, Ken |

Yes, I would like to do a direct comparison of the K-01 and 540 in my listening room. I had a lengthy listening session at the dealer with the 540 and 501, followed by one at home with the K-01 and 501, and it's my feeling that the K-01 hangs right there with the 540. I think I would only trade the K-01 for a K-01X. Best, Ken |
