Focal Sopra No2 Loudspeakers Review

The somewhat more vibrant sound quality of Morrison’s most recent release, Duets: Re-working the Catalogue (16/44.1 FLAC, RCA), didn’t need the Sopra No2’s assistance to sound alive. In fact, “Some Peace of Mind,” with Bobby Womack, and a few other tracks are a tad bright, which I thought might give the No2’s tweeter some trouble — already, I could tell that the speaker’s very top end was a touch hot, a voicing characteristic of other Focal speakers I’ve heard. These days, my reference for neutrality is KEF’s Reference 1 ($7499/pair), and the No2 was a bit more lively in the extreme highs. Yet despite being tipped up, the No2’s top end sounded as clean and clear as the best metal-dome tweeters I’ve heard, which could be why I didn’t find its prominent highs as bothersome as speakers whose raised highs make them sound bright, even edgy.

What I can tell you, is that speaking of the DSD files, if the masters are of good quality, the listening experience is always very pleasant. They tend, if I may say, to the analogue warmth. The behavior of the DSD with this format has been good and it has maintained the tonal character said before for the DAC and for the DSD files.Front1

” I’m hoping by now you know I’m completely smitten with the Woo Audio 234 MONOs. But the question still remains: are they the world’s best headphone amplifier? Until I hear something more amazing, they certainly are to me. $16,000 is absolutely crazy money for a headphone amplifier, but it’s all relative. If you love headphones, have multiple pairs that you cherish and a world-class source or two to provide music, there’s no other way to play the game.

AudioMachina Maestro GSE

. Four elastic sticky pads ensure that both elements cannot topple over. Naturally it’s more elegant because no connection can be seen between the woofer and monitor. Putting together the monitor without bending the copper bars requires two people who, in addition to muscle power, should also have finesse as well. I would at least wish for slightly more stable rods. Admittedly I did dismantle and set up the AudioMachina one or two times to swap places with the Lumen White. This really tiny criticism naturally doesn’t apply if you decide to buy a Maestro GSE which your dealer or salesperson then assembles for you and you leave it in that place. I really can’t imagine that you would like to move the AudioMachina out of your listening room for acoustic reasons.

” The VPI takes it all in its stride, uncovering links between the flood of instrumentation and apparently random sounds, turning what could be a big acoustic mess into an organised and cohesive whole. This is a feat that few rivals at this price can manage.

“Finally, totally confounding my expectations, I preferred playback from my NAS over my home network to both the other sources. It seemed to combine the best features of the other two: low-end depth and impact were just as great, and I heard just as many bass details as from the SSD and more treble detail than from the USB drive. Microdynamics were just spectacular; the music sounded like a spring being wound up, then suddenly released. While I’ve heard this characteristic from other servers, it’s seldom if ever been as starkly defined as with the AK500N.

The Prestige process begins with digitizing acrylic moulds of the inner ear using one of the most advanced 3D-scanning processes available: over 2.5 million data points are collected and manipulated per ear. Once digitized, the pieces are painstakingly shaped from a solid artistic medium in a process that can take up to 30 hours per ear. Each piece is then hollowed out by hand to accommodate the driver assembly and internals before being finished with a hypoallergenic lacquer and buffed.” That’s why I had to wait. The release continued: “Prestige is a bespoke ten-armature CIEM of unrivalled quality and sonic performance
