RHINES STAGE 5 CIEM REVIEW

July 16, 2015 Comments Off on RHINES STAGE 5 CIEM REVIEW

” I am never quite sure if this cable is the same cable used by just about every customs company except AAW but line them up with the likes of 1964EARS, Vision Ears, M Fidelity, Unique Melody etc and they look the same to me. They are comfy, light and have zero memory retention and very little in the way of microphonics so its a good cable but not a unique cable”

” The SE’s handled these notes very well. Now I’m not saying that the SE’s will produce the kind of foundation-challenging bottom end I get from my Legacy Focus SE’s in my Large-Room Reference system, but in my small room the kind of articulate and fairly deep bass the GT SE can conjure up is impressive and deserving of respect. In fact, with the PS Audio DirectStream as the DAC (with the Pike’s Peak firmware) the SE’s spilled out bass details on familiar recordings that I had never heard before. That’s how articulate their bass performance can be with the right associated gear and a good room to support it.”

” The backing orchestra went from sounding like a holistic group to sounding like individual instruments that were easily distinguishable from each other within the ensemble. Bob Copper’s tenor sax had more of a reedy sound, and was projected as if it were being played in a larger space than what I’d previously heard. Moving to “A Night in Tunisia,” the tempo of the music sounded a bit quicker because of the increased resolution and faster transient response of the PC-1 Supreme. In isolation, the stick work of Tony Williams’ drumming was much more easily followed throughout the entire performance. When the bass solo came in, the fingering of the strings sounded more agile and persuasively realistic. While the drum solo wasn’t quite as stunning in weight and fullness, it still carried a hefty dynamic punch with greater resolution. Paired with the Orion Reference FMD, this combination was highly enjoyable.”

” Finally I selected one of my favorite demo tracks, Shelby Lynne’s Just a Little Lovin’, Just a Little Lovin’. (DSD64 http://www.Superhirez.com) Beautifully recorded with a terrific sense of space and instrument location, this track can reveal the soundstage ability of the headphone. The C6iem does a nice job of conveying that space. Overall it was a lovely presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

” Despite the quibbles with the bass quality, so far, I was pretty impressed. My smile faded, however, when I powered the Symphony 1 off and went into fully passive mode. Suddenly, the highs became uneven, the blobby quality of the lows became even more pronounced, although the bass volume itself was reduced.”

” On the upper registers, this is where the Manhattan felt a little flat and one-dimensional. The Lampi and Playback excel in this area and I thought the Manhattan was a little unfocused. Cymbal hits were just a little less defined.”

” And yet I’m pretty sure that physical for of music album will survive, just as novels survived despite the fact that already 10 years ago some claimed that these would vanish completely. I guess a lot of credit for that fact has to go to the vinyl renaissance and its beautiful, large covers. Vinyl record forces user to listen to, at least, full side of each record, without choosing particular pieces of music, going forward and backward. It’s a good tradition, we should not give it up.”
