M-FIDELITY SA-43 CIEM REVIEW
August 7, 2015 Comments Off on M-FIDELITY SA-43 CIEM REVIEW
T”he EL-8s relayed the album with a velvety richness in the guitar and organ, with a smooth, laid-back percussion character. Compared to the AKG-K702 Anniversary, the top end is not as bright, which I expected as the AKG is a conventional driver headphone.”

” This is smoothed over too often on many loudspeakers. It’s sweet and smooth but not live. Here’s a good example of mini dynamics. The close mic’d acoustic guitars had nice bite when strummed and you can perceive the decay of the strings giving great detail from good attack and then you hear clean decay from the mid-range and the tweeter. The drums are beautiful. The attack is quick and clean. And more importantly, since this is where many speakers often fall short, you can hear the decay of the drum strikes.”

” High frequencies are incisive and articulate while bass is nicely taut and delivered with a decent amount of power. Yet, we could do with a bit more drive and attack. There’s drama in the music, but this Pro-ject doesn’t quite manage to access it.”

” What about something classical and more dynamic like Herbert von Karajan’s One Hundred Best Classics compilation? When listening to some of the symphonies, the Continuum S2 painted a grand, vastly expansive soundstage that stretched well beyond the boundaries of my room. This amp showed no shortage of reserve power even during the most demanding orchestral crescendos and peaks, playing them with ease, energy and excitement. The dynamics of the Continuum S2 were simply superb. The various sections of the orchestra were accurately placed on the stage, each playing within its own distinct location. Once again, I noticed the vast amount of air and space surrounding the instruments.”

” The primary argument you’ll hear against ALAC is that it’s an “Apple” technology and users don’t want to be locked into Apple technologies in any way shape or form and want their stuff to be open source and royalty free down the road. I’m not here to take a stand one way or the other, but rather to say this is what I’ve primarily heard as the main points why people are against ALAC.”

” If we’re talking generalizations, which is exactly what a conclusion generally is, my feeling are a preference towards the Astell&Kern $499 AK Jr over the original $1299 AK120 reviewed in August 2013 and that, in itself, says quite a bit about how good this little Jr reproduces music! The compromises made are right in line with exactly what I’d prefer. Keep the musical harmonics to the slightly nice versus sterile side of life,

“Conversely, if you’ve got a high-impedance headphone, employing CDM’s DAC will net you more volume. CDM won’t bleed your DT880/600 anything like TELOS. At its highest volume setting, and when fed a USB signal, it spits about 20dB more volume than I can comfortably take. And CDM performs near flawlessly right up until a full twist of the volume pot, in either gain mode”
VPI PRIME £3,750 Review

” We British types have a peculiar connection with how something ‘times’, but through the Prime, you begin to see this is making a feature out of a limitation; that deep, powerful bass doesn’t make for a taut, boppy sound unless it’s on the recording. So, Zakir Hussain’s Making Music [ECM], presents itself as an expansive soundstage. The pace and energy of the players is retained (and they are fast – John McLaughlin is the guitarist!), but not in a forced way. The Prime has excellent contrast, texture, and musical shading, too. All the hallmarks of a super-deck, save for the price! ”
