PSB Imagine T3 Loudspeakers Review
December 10, 2015 Comments Off on PSB Imagine T3 Loudspeakers Review
” Sonically, the Triton One and Imagine T3 are similar through the midrange and highs. Like the T3, the One’s midrange is neutral and mellow, and its highs are exquisite and refined. Still, I give the nod to the T3 — in my system, it sounded even smoother through the mids than the One, and its highs didn’t compress at high volumes, as the Triton One’s did when I cranked up the music.”
VON SCHWEIKERT AUDIO VR-55 AKTIVE LOUDSPEAKER $60,000 – REVIEW
December 9, 2015 Comments Off on VON SCHWEIKERT AUDIO VR-55 AKTIVE LOUDSPEAKER $60,000 – REVIEW
“With complex passages like the opening from Prokofiev’s Scythian Suite, or in the re-creation of the delicacies of massed strings, the speaker’s ability to unravel dense and often complex layers of sounds is exceptional. It presents those layers without the slightest hint of congestion or indistinctness and with an ease bordering on effortlessness, all the while rendering such passages with indisputable tonal accuracy and texture.”

AAD 7001i Monitor Loudspeaker $12,500 – Review
December 9, 2015 Comments Off on AAD 7001i Monitor Loudspeaker $12,500 – Review
” In my small basement studio, I configured the AADs on my Apollo speaker stands at the ends of my Trident analog console, the 7001is were a wonderful mixing or editing tool with the Trident mixer or the Macintosh computer DAW playback monitoring (digital audio workstation). The midbass got a little bit emphasized when placing the speakers too close to the wall, but moving them out to about a foot cured that.”
ADL EH008 Dual Dynamic Driver Earphones Review
December 9, 2015 Comments Off on ADL EH008 Dual Dynamic Driver Earphones Review
. Listening to the piano, the EH008 was tuneful, natural and textured and preserved the glow of the woody body of the instrument. With the B&W C5, the piano was somewhat simplistic, sounding lighter and having less reverb, while through the Shure SE535 the clarity of the piano notes rose to a higher level, taking on its own space and bringing with it a bounty of detail. Moving to the percussion, the EH008 provided a more detailed and revealing rendition of brushwork than the C5 with cymbals that were subdued but feathery, the C5 sounding rather simplistic in comparison, while the SE535 provided the greatest insight into the strokes, motions and textures. Miles’ trumpet with the ADL EH008, though short of the SE535 in ultimate transparency, openness, dynamics and detail, did a wonderful job of embodying this instrument with its brassy warmth and inherent bite. And, unlike the C5, the EH008 provided the brassy texture of the instrument and its throat tones. This went also for the saxophone, where the EH008 conveyed the instrument with authoritative beauty, sounding full, rich and lush – a captivating experience. In all of this the EH008 was able to bring across the emotion of the song, the relaxed melancholy that has given me such a love for the piece.”

“The sound is truly spectacular in delivery, musicality, balance and resolution. It also draws you into the music as only the best mobile can. If you listen solo on the couch late at night looking out at a night sky, you’ll be transported some place magical. I was nightly.”
