” Finally the diamond tweeter design was also reconsidered. Our research clearly indicated that diamond was still the best choice for the tweeter dome. However we didn’t want to stop there so the rest of the assembly was reassessed, with a more linear motor and optimized suspension, leading to lower non-linear distortion and cleaner treble.”

Emotiva BasX A-300 Stereo Amplifier $399 Review
October 20, 2016 Comments Off on Emotiva BasX A-300 Stereo Amplifier $399 Review
“Interestingly a lot of companies will tell you to let a component break in for some hours before you listen to it. That’s not the case with the Emotiva BASX A300 power amplifier. So is it good to go right out of the box? The answer is no, not really. About an hour after turn on I could detect a very slight, and I do mean subtle, graininess pervading and overlaying the audio presentation. ”

Pass Laboratories HPA-1 Headphone Amplifier $3,500 Review
October 20, 2016 Comments Off on Pass Laboratories HPA-1 Headphone Amplifier $3,500 Review
“he reproduction of both the lowest and highest of the frequency extremes is the best I’ve heard from a headphone amp anywhere near the HPA-1’s price. The same can be said for its micro- and macro-dynamics, transient response, inner detail, midrange transparency, and background silence. Within and quite above its price, I can’t think of any anything negative to say about the HPA-1’s sound quality.”

CHORD HUGO TT TABLETOP DAC/HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER REVIEW
October 19, 2016 Comments Off on CHORD HUGO TT TABLETOP DAC/HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER REVIEW
” found the Hugo TT noticeably punchier and more dynamically authoritative than the Hugo, while rendering vigourous transient events with even greater ‘snap’ and impact. What’s odd about this is that on paper the Hugo TT is no more powerful than the Hugo, though in practice it gives the impression that it is; the TT, for example, offers that elusive quality of sonic ‘grunt’ in spades. Just for the fun of it, I fired up the track ‘Dogman’ from the King’s X album of the same name [Atlantic, CD] and gave the Hugo TT its head as it drove a pair of ENIGMAcoustics Dharma D1000 hybrid dynamic headphones. The result was a gloriously muscular, hard-driving sound that perfectly captured the boisterous exuberance of which this power rock trio is capable—especially so when it came time to reproduce the thunderously powerful low-frequency rumble of Dug Pinnick’s 12-string electric bass. I suspect the Hugo TT’s perceived punch, clout, and dynamic muscle are down to its beefier battery and bank of super capacitors serving up gobs of current on demand.”

Amazon Prime Music Service Reviewed

” The Prime Music section is divided into five categories: Recommended, Stations, Playlists, New to Prime, and Popular. As the name suggests, the Recommended section is where you’ll find lists of stations, playlists, albums, and songs that Amazon thinks you will like. Prime Music doesn’t walk you through an initial setup the way Apple Music does, where you can tell it what genres and bands you like the most. It bases its recommendations on your existing collection and listening habits, so the recommended playlists weren’t quite as well crafted at first. Because I searched for The Beatles early on in my time with Prime Music, my recommended playlists and stations were very classic rock heavy at first, but the more I have listened to different genres, the more fleshed out those suggestions have become.”
