Roth Music Cocoon MC8
Vacuum Tube Audiophile Amplifier And Ipod Docking Station
Roth Audio's acknowledgement of the iPod as this century's landmark music
source means even its flagship Music Cocoon MC8 vacuum tube amplifier
provides a dock for the omnipresent portable. With the visually enticing and
sonically stunning MC8 providing the power, life has never sounded better.
Roth Audio inhabits a rational, yet wonderful world: the British hi-fi company
is sufficiently forward-thinking to embrace the Apple iPod and its incredible
value to the two-channel world, yet also remains endearingly obsessed with
excellent sound-quality. The result of this far too rare mix of reality and
quality is fully evident in the company’s intoxicating flagship amplifier.
The Music Cocoon MC8 adopts the same the key principles found in the
MC4, its hugely successful little brother – outstanding source compatibility,
devastatingly good looks, and superb sound – but raises the performance
bar to an even higher level. No longer is that lip-smackingly sweet, high-end
valve sound the preserve of those prepared part with heart palpitation-
inducing sums of money. The Roth Audio MC8 does it all for less.
An amazingly competitive two thousand pounds buys a single-end Class A all-
tube amplifier, using a brace of 211 vacuum tubes – widely acknowledged as
the 'President' of two-channel tubes – plus a further four premium valve units.
The result is a muscular, yet responsive amplifier capable of releasing 35
watts per channel. In addition to the centrally located iPod dock, connectivity
counts four line inputs, meaning plenty of space to hook up additional
sources, such as a CD player. The 34Kg MC8 also includes a full function
remote control, a choice of output impedance, and (as ever) Roth Audio’s
promise of grin-inducing sound quality.
