” Building on the success of the RP3, the new Planar 3 uses a lightweight acrylic laminated plinth utilizing an improved double brace system mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) forming a structurally sound “stressed beam” assembly. Rega’s low mass, high strength design directly addresses the issue of energy absorption and energy transmission, reducing unnatural distortions to the music.”

MONITOR AUDIO AIRSTREAM A100 INTEGRATED DAC AMPLIFIER REVIEW
May 17, 2016 Comments Off on MONITOR AUDIO AIRSTREAM A100 INTEGRATED DAC AMPLIFIER REVIEW
” True, listeners who rely exclusively on AirPlay for music may find an Apple AirPort Express -Parasound Zamp v.3 Revision 2 combination to offer equivalent functionality, a similar footprint, and largely equivalent sonics at a slightly lower cost. But that’s two boxes with a discordant appearance compared to a single nicely-styled component with slightly stronger AirPlay reception. Also, the Monitor Audio Airstream A100’s preamplifier section allows use of multiple sources, not just AirPlay. My main criticism of the A100 in-use reflects my own laziness as much as anything else: it does not automatically enter or wake from standby. You have to actually press a button, either on the remote or on the unit itself, to put the A100 in standby or wake it up.”

” Another feature I discovered in the MiND App is the ability to access radio stations through vTuner. I really enjoyed this. I have a Magnum Dynalab MG-807T internet runner that sounds very good particularly given its all tube triode output stage, but can’t received HD radio broadcasts, which the 280D can, and it really doesn’t offer practically remote control. I hate to sound lazy, but I often listen to internet radio late at night, and it really is awfully nice to change stations using the MiND iPad App. I haven’t decided yet, but I may let go of the MD-807T and put the 280D in its place because it does so many things so well. I still have the Aurender N100H going into my Ayre DX-5 DSD through a stealth USB cable in my two-channel home theater system. I think that sounds slightly better than the 280D with MiND module but it is difficult to tell because we are talking about two very different system with the home theater system being much more forgiving, and the N100H/Stealth USB/DX-5 DSD combination cost a whole lot more than the 280D with the MiND module. A fairer comparison would be the 380D with the MiND module, but I am already really very happy with the 280D, so much so that I decided to keep it as my current streaming solution for the main system.”

” JL Audio’s most expensive subs have a way of making even the most ordinary double-bass lines absolutely riveting, and of easily parsing the differences between the similar sounds of the double bass and cello. The Dominion d110 didn’t do those things as well as JL Audio’s best, but it provided better pitch definition than any similarly priced sub I’ve heard.”

Aerial Acoustics 7T Review
May 16, 2016 Comments Off on Aerial Acoustics 7T Review
” I listen to another wonderful performance with the SACD “Chabrier & Russel” (Mercury Living Presence) in which Paul Paray conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The soundstage is large and deep and the percussions are correctly positioned behind the orchestra.The tonal balance is correct. The double basses are never emphasized, while the strings have a well proportioned and non-metallic sound. Tympanis and bass drum have a sound that is typical of bigger drivers.”
