Tannoy Eclipse Three Loudspeakers – Review
December 8, 2016 Comments Off on Tannoy Eclipse Three Loudspeakers – Review
” Timing and rhythm plays a good part of the likable characteristics of the Tannoy Eclipse Three, along with a sweet, deep and controlled bass. For £299 these speakers do a great job of playing music “musically”, they are fun and even in what they portray, and never offend. The high and low frequencies marry well and don’t leave you feeling like there is something missing or un-natural. Fed with a good source material these won’t disappoint.”
AAVIK U-300 UNITY INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER £20,000 REVIEW
December 8, 2016 Comments Off on AAVIK U-300 UNITY INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER £20,000 REVIEW
” There are few downsides, although they are more niggles and observations. Sonically, the dynamic range of the Aavik, although wide, is not quite as authentic and edge-of-the-seat as some of the best valve amplifiers out there. However, in terms of solid-state designs, the U-300 Unity is hard to beat. Trivially, a balance control would be nice, but might undermine the minimalism of the overall project as it might require its own button. The ability to process high-resolution to 24/192 might prove limiting in an audiophile world obsessed by 32/384 and DSD files – I hope this is not the case, because I’d rather choose an amp that sounded this good over the (often undefined) promise of superior sound quality from ever higher resolutions.”
NOBLE AUDIO SAVANT CUSTOM-FIT IN-EAR MONITORS – REVIEW
December 8, 2016 Comments Off on NOBLE AUDIO SAVANT CUSTOM-FIT IN-EAR MONITORS – REVIEW
” Is the Savant a true top-tier heavyweight? In a word, yes. I found the Savant was fully competitive with top models from firms such as JH Audio, Ultimate Ears, and Westone. But what sets the Savant apart from its competitors are its uncanny cohesiveness, detail, dynamics, and the rare ability to pull listeners out of their ‘heads’ and into the music. For these reasons and more, the Savant has now become one of my preferred, go-to, in-ear references.”
MARTINLOGAN IMPRESSION ESL 11A ELECTROSTATIC SPEAKERS REVIEW
December 7, 2016 Comments Off on MARTINLOGAN IMPRESSION ESL 11A ELECTROSTATIC SPEAKERS REVIEW
” This is deliberate. The ESL 11As are so well balanced that I can find no specific acoustic weaknesses. Few speakers that I’ve ever heard are so balanced. And in a word, I’d say that “balance” defines them just fine. You want to know what you get for ten-thousand dollars that lesser speakers don’t have? That’s it – balance. These speakers are somewhere between very good and great at every level. Less-expensive speakers can rival or even surpass the MartinLogans in one category, maybe even two – but nothing I’ve heard for less can match them in every aspect.”

Veracity Mystra Review
December 7, 2016 Comments Off on Veracity Mystra Review
“The presentation of Mystra is of serious scale but also leaves you up close and personal to the performance. The latter trait may be to do 5777“ how this DAC has completely unsuppressed dynamics, with this letting rip so that the latter components in the audio chain have a lively and musical canvas to work on. That being said I am definitely aware of some of the attributes this DAC has. What it does let seep through to the rest of the audio chain are all starting points for awesome sound.”
Audiodesk PRO Ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaner Review
December 7, 2016 Comments Off on Audiodesk PRO Ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaner Review
“The takeaway from all this is that any serious record owner who can afford to do so should purchase an ultrasonic vinyl cleaner for use as his primary cleaning tool, always followed by a rinse with “pure” water. In some instances, it may be necessary to resort to the use of an enzymatic cleaner or even an alcohol based cleaner as an adjunct to the ultrasonic cleaner. Almost any competent cleaner (vacuum or ultrasonic) will lessen surface noise. An ultrasonic cleaner used in conjunction with a “pure” water rinse will take the sound to a new and somewhat surprising level of clarity. ”
WESTONE ES60 CUSTOM-FIT IN EAR MONITOR $1,299 Review
December 7, 2016 Comments Off on WESTONE ES60 CUSTOM-FIT IN EAR MONITOR $1,299 Review
” The only small reservation I might express is that the ES‑60’s typically do not seem to convey quite as much upper midrange/treble ‘air’ and transient information as some other accuracy minded CIEMs I have heard (for example, the Noble Audio Savant or the Ultimate Ears Pro Reference Remastered models). This characteristic is minor enough that it certainly doesn’t rise to the level of perceived high-frequency roll off, but it does mean that, through the Westones, some recordings can sound slightly less transparent, airy, and spacious than one might expect”
