These issues have been factored into the asking price.įull specs can be found at the hifiengineīecause I can not link to the reviews i mentioned earlier, I'll just say that most of my reading was done at Audiokarma and VinylengineĪdditionally stereophile did a nice review of the slightly higher model, the Cyrus Two, which share quite a bit in commone with the "One". The unit does show signs of age with nicks and discolorations on the case and there is a depression in the case that can be seen in the photos. I've tested all inputs but do not have a tape player to test the tape record functions. One thing to be aware of is that in English audiophile fashion, the unit does not have tone controls, and the balance control, by design, only effectuates a 5db swing in either direction. Because of how well received these were, Mission/Cyrus has continued to make successors to it, which have continued to be received well. Apparently they made a couple different versions of this model, this one is the more desireable version with a solid metal case rather than plastic casing. I had read many reviews at how great a buy these are, especially if you are looking for a compact unit or use moving coil cartridges on your turntable, but was still shocked by how much bigger this sounds than it seems it should.

I have to say I wasn't expecting how nice this sounds when I picked it up.

These are rather uncommon to find in the US. Known especially for the nice phono stage which unusually for an amplifier at this price point and size also has a moving coil input.
