” Comparing these $4,000 headphones to the $1,700 Sennheiser HD 800 S, I could not help but think this is truly a golden age for audiophiles. You can’t go wrong with the HD 800 S; but if you have the money, I would say the AB-1266, LCD-4, and the Utopia are worth it. They have another level of clarity. So aside from price, your choice between the Abyss AB-1266, Audeze LCD-4, and Focal Utopia will come down to personal preference. While they each handle all genres of music wonderfully, I would lean toward the AB-1266 and LCD-4 for rock-and-roll and the Utopia for classical (I call it a three-way tie for jazz). At the end of the day, when you tune out the rest of the world, any of these headphones will simply take you wherever you want to go.”

Bel Canto e.One Ref600M power amplifier Review

“hat the REF600M didn’t sound identical to some other amps was neither surprising nor a criticism of any of them. Of three recent amps of my experience, the REF600M was the warmest, the NAD Masters Series M22 the most detailed, and the Theta Dreadnaught D somewhere in between. Why should various amps based on circuit boards of the same technology (NCore) and made by the same company (Hypex) sound different? I don’t know, but the amplifier boards aside, I could see physical differences inside these three amps

” There were some areas where I expected the monos to be superior. The most obvious was in soundstaging, and they were. They produced a slightly wider and deeper soundstage. The soundstage was also portrayed from a slightly quieter and slightly darker background. Overall the monos are slightly quieter. This also produces slightly more sparkle in the top-end and overall a little more detailed and transparent sound.”

FIIL will always be able to say they done it first!”
