JOSEPH AUDIO PRISM $3699 REVIEW
May 7, 2016 Comments Off on JOSEPH AUDIO PRISM $3699 REVIEW
” Nowadays it’s hard to find a good loudspeaker that doesn’t image well, but some image better than others. The Prisms certainly displayed precise, well-defined images that didn’t suffer from cabinet diffraction. Even when used in the nearfield, the Prisms disappeared almost as completely as the Audience 1+1 loudspeakers, which are still my reigning nearfield imaging champions. On my own recordings, the Prisms placed each instrument exactly where it should have been. The principal difference between the Prism’s imaging and the Audience 1+1’s was that the Audience loudspeakers produced a slightly larger listening window, which allowed for more boogie-space in the nearfield.”
MUSICAL FIDELITY NU-VISTA 800 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
May 6, 2016 Comments Off on MUSICAL FIDELITY NU-VISTA 800 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
” The use of Nu-Vista tubes might impart a certain sweetness and liquidity, but there’s nothing falsely euphonic or rose-tinted about the overall presentation. The Nu-Vista 800 can sound lean and mean when it needs to, and doesn’t pull its sonic punches. In comparison, my own regular Classé/Musical Fidelity combination proved kinder and more accommodating.”
LG G5 with Hi-Fi Plus DAC Review

” he sound through headphones is good, but not amazing. You get a good tonal balance and plenty of detail whether you listen to Spotify or CD-quality WAVs, and there’s a lovely delicacy to hi-res tracks.”
DALI EPICON 8 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
May 6, 2016 Comments Off on DALI EPICON 8 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
“Going back to the Townshend/Naim pairing, I also tried the CAD CAT transport and 1543 MkII DAC as a front end, which readers of issue 132 may recall is a pretty special digital source. It’s also a sound that perfectly matches the DALIs’ finesse and detail retrieval, so the system created a truly ‘reach out and touch’, super deluxe sound. A close miked piece by Sarabeth Tucek [Get Well Soon, Echo], where the recording level is clearly on the hot side, is nonetheless capable of raising the hairs on your neck when delivered with the degree of transparency presented by the Epicon 8. You can hear the effects that have been used in the studio, but there is nonetheless a ghostly presence to this performance that perhaps relates to the subject matter; the death of the artist’s father.”
MicroZOTL 2 Headphone Amp Review
May 6, 2016 Comments Off on MicroZOTL 2 Headphone Amp Review
“The lightweight switching power supply was upgradeable and folks substituted various LPS units. LTA just released it’s own LPS, while the stock ZOTL is fine sounding, adding the LTA LPS does improve things. I put on the Henry Butler/Steven Bernstein track again…the switching supply sounds fine, but the LPS tightens and deepens the bass, and the stage becomes bit more open, deep, and clean. Perspective drops back a few rows. A barely perceptible edge is tamed with the LPS. All Time Low became even clearer, the stage deepened and instruments got more defined, with deeper bass and convincing cymbals.”

SONUS FABER PRYMA REVIEW
May 5, 2016 Comments Off on SONUS FABER PRYMA REVIEW
” This is a solid performer down below, but this headphone was clearly not intended for bassy genre usage and those who might enjoy Dubstep, Deep Minstep or really anything with exceptionally plentiful bass levels should be shopping elsewhere. Instead, those who want a good, middle ground performer for most genres will be relatively happy here with the Pryma.”
