WOO AUDIO WES AND STAX SR-009 REVIEW
October 6, 2016 Comments Off on WOO AUDIO WES AND STAX SR-009 REVIEW
“No, the Stax seem to be generally after something else. Some other gestalt. Something deep and lovely and coherently lush — instead of any serious assault on the Temple of Sonica Pyrotechnica, Stax paints sonic tapestries that are far more about unraveling layers of texture and meaning. Either Stax evinces an all-day listenability that is not only addicting, it’s downright intoxicating — and that level of engrossment is something that’s far more difficult to achieve with the King Senns — and just about every other headphone, to be fair”
SAE 2HP-D power amplifier $19,995 – Review
October 6, 2016 Comments Off on SAE 2HP-D power amplifier $19,995 – Review
“Superclean, ultrafast, and artifact-free, with exciting transient clarity? Yes. The rich midrange, expansive midbass, and generous sustain that warmly linger when listening to the LP? No. The SAE 2HP-D’s sound was more like that of the exotic sports cars Morris Kessler was selling when DAK bought SAE from Giorgio Moroder in 1989, and less like that era’s softly sprung Cadillac sedans.”
UNIQUE MELODY MARTIAN REVIEW
October 6, 2016 Comments Off on UNIQUE MELODY MARTIAN REVIEW
The Martian’s bass signature is not what you expect it to be for a dual dynamic. Sure it hits hard, excellent bass in both depth and body but it is very controlled and articulate and it honestly is not the first thing that hits you when you start listening to them. It is an incredibly likable bass response with an elevated sub-bass tuning rather than a curt mid-bass slam so you never feel it dominating or bleeding into the midrange.”
ADVANCED ACOUSTICWERKES NEBULA REVIEW
October 6, 2016 Comments Off on ADVANCED ACOUSTICWERKES NEBULA REVIEW
” The sound does quickly become one of the biggest differentiators between the two IEMs. The One has a warmer and richer sound while still maintaining good balanced throughout. I do notice it to also have quite a relaxed treble. On the other hand the 2 is much lighter and airier, probably from the noticeably better treble extension and a bit more energy near 10kHz. It is certainly the more agile and detailed model.”

Tenor Phono 1 Review
October 5, 2016 Comments Off on Tenor Phono 1 Review
“The Tenor rendered the entire Capriccio Italien performance with flying colours – portraying every instrument with proper weight, scale, timber and texture. Even on the demanding passages, which can easily become trashy, garbled messes with a lesser component, the Tenor maintained proper contrast with clear identifiable distinction of every instrument in the acoustic space – nothing was garbled. The dynamic contrast, weight and solidity of the holographic image, is reminiscent of the Burmester 100 Phono Preamp, but the Tenor adds a greater transient response with a wider frequency extension. It instills more vibrancy and impact to sound making an already intense performance even more exhilarating and lifelike.”
VERISONIX N501 ELECTROSTATIC HEADPHONE REVIEW
October 5, 2016 Comments Off on VERISONIX N501 ELECTROSTATIC HEADPHONE REVIEW
” he N501 has quite the specifications list. It retails for $499 USD which makes it one of the most affordable ESL headphones on the market. To raise even more eyebrows, it also lists a frequency range of 6 Hz to 50 kHz; most headphones support 20 Hz to 22 kHz. That’s not to say all of it is within the human hearing range, but Verisonix is making it known that it can cover the entire audio spectrum. Likewise, with the doubling of the frequency range, we also get the headphone weight which is 600g or 21 ounces. This puts the N501 at almost twice the weight of typical headphones. As for the driver, Verisonix notes it as being a 4030 e-stat + 40mm hybrid dome-type dynamic driver. The N501 still manages an effective impedance of 32 ohms and a Sound Pressure Level of 120 dB making it surprisingly easy to drive.”
DAVID BERNING COMPANY 211/845 POWER AMPLIFIER $75,000 REVIEW
October 5, 2016 Comments Off on DAVID BERNING COMPANY 211/845 POWER AMPLIFIER $75,000 REVIEW
“Finally, I’d like to note that these impressions of the 211/845 were made with the Constellation Altair 2 linestage feeding the Berning, which, given my description of the system here, speaks volumes about that linestage’s transparency. I drove the 211/845 directly from the Berkeley Alpha Reference DAC Series 2 as well, but preferred the sound with the Altair 2 in the chain.”
