New Budget King from Lake District

[Jasonovich]

Love the Lake District and love this new integrated from British Start Up - Fell. Only £599!
Those green light buttons, sort of reminiscent eccentric British products from yester Year.

Have you seen any budget gems lately?

Their £499 CD player looks the part too. Matching Streamer also on the way

It's a very photogenic set of products with impressive specs and sadly hard-to-audition credentials for those based down South. I'm interested to see some reviews and hear some opinions once these things are out in numbers in the wilds.

One thing that faintly amuses me is the blurb for the Amp, which boasts "the Fell Amp benefits from the brilliant ESS Sabre ES9018K2M chip. Normally found in products priced in the thousands (and rarely found at the Fell Amp's price point), Fell Audio’s designers really are spoiling the ears!"

I then Googled said chip, and they have a unit cost of under £12 including VAT What am I missing?!

Either way, the specifications and connectivity of this kit and then some of the bundles at Peter Tyson are appealing, that's for sure.

All designed in house by the Tyson family - aka Peter Tyson and brothers. It appears they do more than just sell HiFi.
I have been all about Chi-Fi lately, particularly the budget end like Fosi, AIYIMA, SMSL and et'al but its really great a small British manufacturer can address this and make something better. I really hope these sell like hot cakes

Agree.
They should do at those prices.
Just a pity the CD player isn't a top loader.

ESS9018K2M is a DAC chip so the amp has a built in DAC. It's not the latest model if ESS DAC chip either. Just marketing fluff.

There's a review of amp and CDP on AV Forums - together with mixed opinions on the looks in the accompanying forum discussion.

(The audio reviewer over there seems to be generally the most busy reviewer of theirs).

Thanks for the heads up.
I actually like the NAIM'esque look. Not a boring box.
