MEE AUDIO PINNALCE P1 REVIEW
September 5, 2016 Comments Off on MEE AUDIO PINNALCE P1 REVIEW
” The cables are detachable. This is something we are seeing more and more of in earphones at all price ranges. It lets users change or replace the cable at a low cost without the need for buying and entirely new set if things go wrong. As the Pinnacle P1 are worn over the ear there are no microphonics at all and in day to day use we found the cable to be well behaved and resistant to tangles. Its not quite the premium feel you get on Vsonic’s GR07 or as stylish as some of my custom cables but it gets the job done.”


Music Hall Audio MMF-7.3 Turntable Review
September 5, 2016 Comments Off on Music Hall Audio MMF-7.3 Turntable Review
“The Music Hall aptly propelled the swaying Nashville rhythms and blustery melodies of his music, although the top end was a mite dry and hard. But that’s nit-picking. Misty music filled the room, sweeping me up in a celestial swoon of sounds.”

Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-2170 Integrated Amplifier Reviewed
September 5, 2016 Comments Off on Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-2170 Integrated Amplifier Reviewed
“The TDAI 2170 does have home theater bypass capability, which allows you to adapt this integrated amp into your existing home theater setup. I did experiment with this functionality, and it worked well. By connecting your surround sound processor’s front left and right preouts to one set of analog inputs on the TDAI 2170, and with a few setting changes in both my processor and TDAI, I was off and running. As suggested, I labeled that input as “Home Theater” within the Lyngdorf. Additionally, in this setup, you should connect your subwoofer directly to the TDAI following the manufacturer’s instructions. In this way, the Lyngdorf Room Perfect functionality benefits lower frequencies. I also had my processor automatically power on the TDAI with the remote trigger feature on both units, making it easy to use on a daily basis.”

Thiel Audio TT1 loudspeaker $7000 Review
September 4, 2016 Comments Off on Thiel Audio TT1 loudspeaker $7000 Review
“An obvious difference between the two designs was at the bottom end. While the TT1 underperformed a bit down low, the Silver 10 was occasionally a little too eager to chomp into a deep-bass riff. I didn’t dislike this; with a good recording of pipe organ or drums, and without a sub, I often heard more at the bottom end from the Monitors than from the Thiels. The Silver 10s captured more of the organ underpinning the chorus in at least a few passages of the Rutter Requiem and some of his other works on that disc. The Monitors were also better than the Thiels at reproducing the big Japanese drums on recordings by the taiko drumming troupe Kodo, both in the drums’ initial transient impact and the way in which the sound from the body of the instrument reverberated back into the recording space.’

Moon by Simaudio Evolution 820S Power Supply $8000 Review
September 4, 2016 Comments Off on Moon by Simaudio Evolution 820S Power Supply $8000 Review
” Well, I wasn’t surprised. With the 740P still plugged directly into the Shunyata Research Venom PS8 power distributor I normally use for my electronics, and with only the 650D connected to the 820S — also plugged into the Venom PS8 for the duration of my listening for this review — I played a random selection of music fed from my laptop computer. (I no longer use the 650D’s CD transport because all of my CDs are now ripped to a hard drive.) Right off the bat, I heard a subtle improvement in image focus — that is, how sharply outlined the aural images of performers are on the soundstage — as well as a bigger soundstage (though how much the stage grew depended on the recording played). I thought the 650D also sounded a bit more dynamic, which was welcome — one of my reservations about the 650D has been that its sound is a bit too laid-back. These weren’t drastic improvements, but when I heard them, I surmised that the 820S had lowered the 650D’s noise floor”

Alpha & Delta D2M – Review
September 4, 2016 Comments Off on Alpha & Delta D2M – Review
” The Alpha & Delta D2M are a solid set of inexpensive sweat resistant sports earphones. Perfect for working out on long runs or bumming about the gym. They sound good for the price and are definitely tuned for working out. They look good and despite a couple of issues with the cable are very well made and hold up well under some tough testing. For $40 it’s very hard to go wrong here and it’s nice to see Lendmeurears off to a good start in their solo venture into portable audio products.”
