Wadia Digimaster 2000 Mk.2 digital processors Review

May 24, 2015 Comments Off on Wadia Digimaster 2000 Mk.2 digital processors Review

” The newest Wadia 2000, driven by the glass fiber-optic interface, is superbly musical and in many ways represents the state of the art of digital playback. It is clearly and dramatically improved over the earlier version auditioned, and when driven by a Wadia transport with glass-fiber output, takes another leap up in musicality over earlier production.”

” One of the reasons for going with a set of floor standing speakers with larger woofers is to fill a medium to large room. If you’re worried about whether or not these Fluance speakers can saturate a large space with sound, don’t be. I played them in a 24 x 30 foot room. I pumped up the volume and these guys cranked it out. I will say that at very high, painful SPLs the XL7Fs showed some chinks in their armor. As the volume got louder , they didn’t stay completely clean. For this price-point that’s really not a surprise. ”

“Throughout the album, the solos were handed off fluidly. The X40 exuded clarity, detail, and precision, all while maintaining a tone that was neither too bright nor too warm. This was particularly evident with clarinetist Allen Vanche’s stratosphere-scraping solos and the well-controlled patterns of Bernard Purdie’s tom-toms. Throughout, this recording was rendered in an engaging manner; the advantages of hi-rez recordings were unmistakable.”

Luxman’s C-900u preamplifier – Review

” The M-900u’s power output was more than sufficient for Doug’s system, and probably for most listeners’. But in those rare instances where an M-900u won’t be powerful enough — say, with very inefficient speakers that are also able to play extremely loud, and need hundreds of watts to do so — a pair of them can be configured as monoblocks claimed to each deliver 600W into 8 ohms.”

BRAINWAVZ M2 In-Ear Monitors – Review

http://goo.gl/CH9MLy Read Here

” There is something wonderful about the sound of good in-ear monitors, especially those with high performance single drivers in each ear. With no crossover to direct the incoming signal to a separate woofer and a tweeter, a very natural continuity – and freedom from the harmful phase shifts of typical crossovers – is heard that makes the distinction between bass, midrange, and treble almost meaningless. Separating music into these frequency ranges is good for discussion, but the M2s present a seamless listening experience and music flows naturally up and down the entire musical scale. The midrange is very natural and fully formed.”

” Changing the mood again with rapper-producer Earl Sweatshirt’s new album “I Don’t Like S%#*, I Don’t Go Outside” the buoyancy of the bass floored me. Deep bass extension was the sort you feel as much as hear.”
