ACAPELLA APOLLON – REVIEW

” We did listen to the speakers for a bit with the left tweeter disconnected. My initial impression was that the speakers were somewhat laid-back, a bit unfocused, and lacked dynamic oomph. However, the speakers hadn’t undergone any position adjustments, so we were starting with the speakers at Neli’s best initial guess. Additionally, even though the speakers are burned in for a week at the factory, the drivers—especially the bass drivers—require a couple hundred hours of further break-in. In any event, I believe it’s a waste of time to tweak a system that’s not functioning properly, so we ended the first day’s listening.”

” No, the acoustic tinkering comes from the cabinet’s construction, which sees MDF sandwiched with high-density particleboard. This is supposed to reduce panel resonance and colouration.”

GoldenEar Triton Seven Tower Speakers Review

” The same held true for movies. While the dialogue in the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 was clearly reproduced by the articulate mid woofers and accurate tweeter, and the snap of artillery fire in action scenes was dynamic yet non-fatiguing, the modestly sized towers were adequate, but not visceral in the low frequencies. All of this is well within expectations given their size and price point.”

Bryston BLP-1 Turntable NEW
May 23, 2016 Comments Off on Bryston BLP-1 Turntable NEW
“Bryston BLP-1 Turntable comes with new tonearm featuring seven-segment titanium arm tube with integrated headshell, that is virtually immune to cantilever borne vibration. Belt drive with on-board PWM synchronous low speed / high torque motor achieves perfect belt tension and coupling to platter without added noise. Innovative hardened carbon-steel spindle and ultra hard bronze bearing is polished to 0.02mm tolerance and dense 35mm thick Delrin platter with integrated record mat damps non-musical vibration yet preserves incredible detail and unique vented plinth both eliminates platter turbulence and prevents the micro resonances to affect the cartridge.”

SNUGS RANGE CUSTOM TIPS REVIEW
May 23, 2016 Comments Off on SNUGS RANGE CUSTOM TIPS REVIEW
” If you are sitting on a sub $100 earphone, then the proposition is less appealing and certainly a SoundMagic E10S that is being used as part of the Wired range is even less so. I would much rather see some sort of partnership with the likes of RHA or RockJaw for a wired version personally. The Snug wired RHA MA750i has all sorts of win written over it. The Snugs Pro for the Shure SE846 does seem better value if at a slightly higher price of £229. Given the Shure SE846 retails for £697.00, a custom fit for 1/3 of the price is not wholly unreasonable to stage musicians and pros and the odd mad audiophile or two.”

Fender in-ear headphones Review

” Right away the FXA5 proved itself a contender. It’s a lively sounding headphone, dynamics are strong, bass is really deep and tuneful, and the treble is clear. All of that was evident with lossless files streamed from Tidal on my iPhone 6S. I listened at home and played downloaded tracks on the noisy New York subway, and the FXA5 consistently impressed. Then I pitted the superb Klipsch Reference 6i against the FXA5 and found clear transparency gains with the FXA5. The Reference 6i is no slouch, but the FXA5’s bass, mids and treble are clearer. It’s a much better headphone.”
