Focal Elear Headphones $999 Review
January 24, 2017 Comments Off on Focal Elear Headphones $999 Review
” Dueling drummers Billy Martin and G. Calvin Weston’s ferocious “Percussion Duets” were so inventive, I didn’t mind that there were no other instruments on their album. Elear did a better job communicating the improvised rhythms; the LCD 2 Fazor sounded less immediate, less exciting.
Magico S5 Mk. 2 Loudspeakers $38,000 Review
January 23, 2017 Comments Off on Magico S5 Mk. 2 Loudspeakers $38,000 Review
“The S5 Mk. 2 comes, as did its predecessor, with aluminum grille covers. The covers are basically cosmetic and protective and should be removed for any serious listening sessions. A small supply of the round felt pads that go between the magnets and the front of the speaker is useful since the cushions tend to fall off with time and you don’t to accidentally mar the speaker.”

VIENNA ACOUSTICS THE MUSIC FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
January 23, 2017 Comments Off on VIENNA ACOUSTICS THE MUSIC FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
” Vienna quotes a sensitivity of 91dB for The Music, which combined with a 4 Ohm load, a -3dB point as low as 22Hz, and the lack of leading edge exaggeration from the drivers means that you’ll be looking for a powerful partnering amp. A couple of hundred solid-state watts – or a very good 100 plus watts from a tube amp – should be considered a working minimum. I used big VTL amps (Siegfried monos or the S400) that worked brilliantly – and indicate just how far you can take this speaker – but at the other end of the price scale I suspect quantity is more important than absolute quality. ”
Top 500 SuperSonic List – Part 1
January 23, 2017 Comments Off on Top 500 SuperSonic List – Part 1
“What better way to introduce this new long term project than to quote Geoffrey Sumner’s spoken words at the beginning of the classic 1958 Decca compilation A Journey Into Stereo Sound [SKL 4001]. Nearly six decades since the introduction of stereo sound onto vinyl, and seven since Columbia cut the first 33 1/3 rpm microgroove LP for commercial release”

EMAC 535SE AMPLIFIER HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER $1795 REVIEW
January 22, 2017 Comments Off on EMAC 535SE AMPLIFIER HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER $1795 REVIEW
“In terms of physical quantity, I feel it underwhelming for usage with my Elear and even my Massdrop HD6xx, which recently arrived. If you are into the boomy bass thing, look elsewhere. This amp is too smooth and easy going for you. You’ll want something with more kick and dynamic impact than this.
