- Page 2 Page 2 of 6 Once I laid eyes upon the Audio Space Mini Galaxy 1, I knew there was no way I'd turn down reviewing it. How could anyone pass up quality time with this little gem? Hong Kong-based Audio Space is no here-today, gone-tomorrow Asian brand.
- Page 3 Internal wiring is point-to-point. The supplied tubes were of unknown origin but sported Audio Space logos. However, the EL84s looked and sounded identical to a set of JJs I had on hand. The tiny onboard DAC is built around a Burr Brown PCM 2702 44.1/48kHz chip which appears to be standard issue for most...
- Page 4 Horns or Gemme's now discontinued Concerti 108, both of which played to extremely high levels with the wee Audio Space. In fact and in many respects, I preferred the Audio Space over my Manley separates when driving the aforementioned single-driver speakers.
- Page 5 Galaxy would be an ideal choice. My only issue with the Mini Galaxy is price in relation to its line mates. For $400 more, Audio Space's larger AS-3i integrated offers more than twice the output power, triode switching, an additional input and the convenience of front- mounted source selection and headphone output.
- Page 6 B&W 801s with this little amp. The Audio Space Mini Galaxy 1 is an attractive, well-built, charming little music maker that would be ideal for a second system in the bedroom, office or cottage. It sounds good and looks even better. Even the missus will approve.
