BALANCED AUDIO TECHNOLOGY REX II PREAMPLIFIER AND REX II MONOBLOCK POWER AMPLIFIERS REVIEW

January 21, 2016 Comments Off on BALANCED AUDIO TECHNOLOGY REX II PREAMPLIFIER AND REX II MONOBLOCK POWER AMPLIFIERS REVIEW

” If the BAT equipment has continued to make great strides toward what some more audacious than myself term the absolute, it also retained some of the qualities that have characterized its performance in previous generations. The timbral reproduction of both the preamplifier and amplifier, it must be said, continued to hew to the darker sound of the spectrum. This has both pluses and minuses. The upside is that the overall presentation is rich and organic without a trace of treble rebarbativeness. The downside is that the treble is not as extended as that of a variety of other amplifiers. A certain rounding of the treble means that even hand claps or whistles simply sound lower on the frequency spectrum than I have heard with other gear. There is absolutely no shrillness that can be associated with the Rex, but it’s also the case that the somewhat velvety treble impinges ever so slightly on the micro-dynamic performance of the Rex II.”

JANSZEN ZA1.1 ELECTROSTATIC HYBRID STAND-MOUNTED LOUDSPEAKER $4495 REVIEW

” The JansZens have a refinement and focus all their own, based on the purity of the electrostatic tweeter and the narrowed radiation pattern in the top end. For those with the appetite for this, there is nothing else quite like the JansZen zA1.1s. If your budget encompasses this price point, these are speakers you really should hear before you buy anything else. Old brandy may be the only drink for you.”

AIRIST AUDIO HERON 5 REVIEW

January 19, 2016 Comments Off on AIRIST AUDIO HERON 5 REVIEW

READ HERE

” Effortlessness is uncommon these days and that super slick and vividly rounded-soft impact type of physicality is something I highly desire…and the Heron 5 has this quality in abundance. Compared to the Mjolnir and Ragnarok, which sound sharper and snappier, the Heron 5 instead offers a more liquid like of tonality. I really like it and I’ve found myself regretting heavily selling my HD800 a few months ago. Damn. I shouldn’t have done that, so I’ve asked a friend for a loaner.”

“MAD Architects unveils the completed Harbin Opera House, located in the Northern Chinese city of Harbin. In 2010, MAD won the international open competition for Harbin Cultural Island, a master plan for an opera house, a cultural center, and the surrounding wetland landscape along Harbin’s Songhua River. The sinuous opera house is the focal point of the Cultural Island, occupying a building area of approximately 850,000 square feet of the site’s 444 acres total area. It features a grand theater that can host over 1,600 patrons and a smaller theater to accommodate an intimate audience of 400.”

Sennheiser RS 185 Headphone Review

January 18, 2016 Comments Off on Sennheiser RS 185 Headphone Review

To test the RS 185’s dynamic punch, I popped on jazz drummer Peter Erskine’s Old School album. The RS 185 had a fuller, more potent sound. They were close in terms of dynamic punch, but I’d give the nod to the Momentum. Since the Momentum was plugged into an NAD C 316BEE integrated amplifier, it could play a lot louder than the battery-powered RS 185 (it has a 1.2 volt AAA in each ear cup). Don’t get me wrong here, the RS 185 can rock, but it’s a matter of degree. If you want to feel the power of full-throttle assaults with films like Mad Max: Fury Road on Blu-ray, the RS 185 won’t thrash your ears the way the Momentum, or most wired full-size headphones can.”
