SHOZY ZERO IEM REVIEW
July 25, 2016 Comments Off on SHOZY ZERO IEM REVIEW
“Vocal presence is a bit darker sounding if not slightly recessed, particularly with lower register male vocals, though they do come to the fore a little bit more after copious amounts of burn in. Vocals, on the whole, are sibilant free with female vocals sounding smooth and clear in the upper registers.”
Sonos Opens First Retail Store: Upscale Shop in SoHo with 7 Soundproof Listening Rooms
July 24, 2016 Comments Off on Sonos Opens First Retail Store: Upscale Shop in SoHo with 7 Soundproof Listening Rooms
“The goal of the listening rooms is to allow customers to experience the speakers in the perfect environment, and then do more research at home and consider the speakers for their next audio purchase or home install. They could, at that point, talk to a dealer and say, “I listened to these speakers in the Sonos store and I love them. Can we include them in this project?”

PHATLABS PHATASY AND SASSY – PORTABLE TRANSFORMER POWER
July 24, 2016 Comments Off on PHATLABS PHATASY AND SASSY – PORTABLE TRANSFORMER POWER
“Phantasy or should I say PHAntasy is the current TOTL offering from PHATlabs. Why the capital PHA, well it stands for Portable Headphone Amp of course, although we will debate that a little later on. While sassy is a hybrid and not a class A one at that, Phantasy brings together all of the PHAT principles that we started off this review with. For a start it is well and truly a tube amp, not an ounce of a transistor to be seen. Considering portable amps that feature tubes in some way or another aren’t the newest thing around, being a solely battery powered pure tube amp is something else. In fact the only other one I know of in existence is Woo Audio’s just released WA8! This really is a crazy design”
LUXURY & PRECISION L3 $399 Review
July 24, 2016 Comments Off on LUXURY & PRECISION L3 $399 Review
” The L5PRO has full bodied bass and mids and the overall sound quality of the L5PRO is incredibly good so we all expected a lot from the “little” L3. I’m very happy to report that the sound quality is no different with the L3. It simply sounds superb with the right mix of body, detail and musicality. The L3 is clean and clear and has a good resolution overall. The treble section might be a little less bodied than the bass and mid-section are. From bass to highs I’d call this a pretty linear sounding DAP though. The L3 doesn’t emphasize bass, mids or treble but it displays it smooth and effortlessly with a hint to the lusher and warmer side without losing any of the detail and without going too far away from a neutral delivery. Compared to higher end players like the AK380, the L3 misses out on depth, width and layering but there’s no shame or surprise in that. More comparisons later on”
GRADO SR225E REVIEW
July 23, 2016 Comments Off on GRADO SR225E REVIEW
” Imaging is very good and allows you to precisely pinpoint instruments whilst allowing them sufficient space for resounding clarity. Soundstage, as you would expect, is on the large side and the headphones do well in creating an airy and immersive presentation perfect for live and binaural recordings. Speed is also very good and the SR225e are one of the faster dynamic driver headphones I have heard which in results in solid levels of detail and separation. ”
Ayre Acoustics AX-5 Twenty Integrated Amplifier Review
July 23, 2016 Comments Off on Ayre Acoustics AX-5 Twenty Integrated Amplifier Review
“As good as the AX-5 was with acoustic music, it was no slouch with recordings of rock or fusion. On Allan Holdsworth’s All Night Wrong (DSD64, Sony Music), bassist Jimmy Johnson and drummer Chad Wackerman sounded propulsive and meaty in “Lanyard Loop,” providing counterpoint to Holdsworth’s rhythm and lead-guitar licks.”

Bryston 2.5B3 stereo power amp $3,695 Review
July 22, 2016 Comments Off on Bryston 2.5B3 stereo power amp $3,695 Review
” My Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 speakers need a lot of power to fully come alive, and that’s what the 2.5B3 delivered when I pumped up the Black Keys “Brothers” album, it felt more powerful than I expected from a 135 watt per channel amp. The more I played it, the more I liked the sound.”
