Adamante 2 Review

” The bass is very much extended, weighty and powerful all in the proper proportions. The LF simply don’t turn the overall sound dark. Despite their true anchoring, the overall sonic quality remains light(filled). I’d not call it airy per se. That often relies on bass of insufficient gravity. If such verbal fencing should drive it home, the Adamante had cubits of air but this quality didn’t become airiness due to sharing equal playtime with a chunky dense midrange and grounded bass of substance. This airiness wasn’t tacked on. It wasn’t separate. It was enfolded like TV chefs talk of folding stiffly beaten egg whites into a batter to make a soufflé. Those whipped egg-white textures were through and through. They weren’t just on top like chantilly cream floating on hot chocolate.”

MOON BY SIMAUDIO NEO 430HA HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER $3500 REVIEW

July 27, 2015 Comments Off on MOON BY SIMAUDIO NEO 430HA HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER $3500 REVIEW

http://goo.gl/3SY66U Read Here

” The DAC section is an excellent addition for the $800 asking price. Fed via an Audience Au24 USB cable from a MacBook Pro running Pure Music, the 430HA’s DAC had none of the chalky midrange heard in some USB implementations. The tonal balance was smooth and uncolored, with good resolution of detail. The DAC also had an open and transparent spatial rendering for its price. I liked that the DAC had a relaxed and engaging sound with a somewhat laid-back midband. This quality imparted a refinement and sophistication often lacking in sub-$1k DACs.”

ART ALNICO 8 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKERS £10,000/pair – REVIEW

“It still sounded a little forward, but this brought out more of the sparkle: so long as I stuck with the better recordings, things were pretty dandy. On Fleetwood Mac’s classic ‘Oh Daddy’ [Rumours, 24/96 HD Tracks], the drum snare is brought to the fore, as is the electric guitar, but the bass is attractively lush with lots of timbre. ”

Audio Tekne TFM 2000 + TEA 2000 Review

July 27, 2015 Comments Off on Audio Tekne TFM 2000 + TEA 2000 Review

http://goo.gl/0x5dnG Here

“This was, most likely, the first presentation of Audio Tekne products in Poland despite the fact that this is one of the highly appreciated Japanese audio brands. Looking at their devices most people think about the golden age of tube devices – simple, though elegant designs, without any fancy elements, where form serves purpose and not the other way around. ”

MARTEN COLTRANE SUPREME 2 LOUDSPEAKERS €390,000 pair REVIEW

July 26, 2015 Comments Off on MARTEN COLTRANE SUPREME 2 LOUDSPEAKERS €390,000 pair REVIEW

http://goo.gl/J7611R Read Here

“The real beauty of the big Martens is that they are one of the least overtly impressive or showy loudspeaker systems available today. Where so many big speakers scream, “Look at ME, listen to ME!” the Coltrane Supreme 2’s seem to spend all their time doing their level best to disappear. Their refined appearance is matched by their sound – they don’t project that solid, slab-like bass so beloved of audiophiles, so prevalent in demonstrations, and so rarely heard in reality.”

LINUM CABLES REVIEW

” Linum cables are so light that they can’t even keep the welterweight Ultrasone IQ from immediately drooping to your belly button. If you’re heading to a festival, or casual business meeting, your options are: drop the earphones in a shirt pocket, or put them in a case. Linum cables present loads of talking points,”

Noble Audio Kaiser 10 Review

” Ask around, and you’ll find some people who find the Kaiser 10 to have treble that’s a bit too sparkly. On the other hand others find it a bit too muted and smooth. For what it’s worth, I think both groups are right, and at least in the Kaiser 10 that’s a good thing. The treble here is ever-present, has nice sparkle, but yet manages to be smooth and silky. ”

NAIM SUPERUNITI NETWORK INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW

“And then the clincher, “And you think this [pointing to the SuperUniti again] sounds better than all that [waving hand pointedly in the general direction of my system], too?” I knew what was coming by the hand waving. My cards were marked, my fate sealed. I tried to argue (somewhat weakly, I admit) that lots of boxes were important for writing reviews, but it was too late. The wife had put her foot down, and from this angle it looked more like a cloven hoof.”
