Syzygy SLF-850 Subwoofer Review
January 22, 2017 Comments Off on Syzygy SLF-850 Subwoofer Review
“The short story is that the SLF850, both singly and as a pair mates flawlessly to all three of these combinations. In single woofer mode, the SLF850 was placed just slightly off center of the main speakers (all three) back against the rear wall in front firing mode. Thanks to the fine tuning allowed by the app, there were no issues at all integrating the SLF850 into the system and for the most part, if I were in a smaller space, I could probably get along just fine with one woofer.”
RYAN SPEAKERS TEMPUS III LOUDSPEAKER $15,995 REVIEW
January 22, 2017 Comments Off on RYAN SPEAKERS TEMPUS III LOUDSPEAKER $15,995 REVIEW
” The Ryans strongly urge users to bi-wire the speakers, and hope you’ll remove the nickel-plated brass jumpers with which the Tempus IIIs are shipped. I began my listening with the jumpers in place, utilizing my usual Transparent Ultra (Generation 5) speaker cables. The only bi-wire set I own are the outrageously overachieving AntiCable Level 2 Performance Series model ($164 for a six-foot pair!) and I was more than a bit surprised at the improvement I heard in transparency, dynamic nuance, and soundstage continuity when I substituted them for the Transparent cables”

HiFiMAN Headphones – HE1000 V2 and Edition X V2 Review
January 21, 2017 Comments Off on HiFiMAN Headphones – HE1000 V2 and Edition X V2 Review
” In short, the point is that these headphones focus presentation in the midrange. They are well balanced but upper end is gently rolled off, and it starts already at fairly low frequency. There is no doubt that the idea was to create as pleasant and rich presentation as possible and the goal was achieved.”
CAMPFIRE AUDIO VEGA REVIEW

“I, of course, prefer over the ear, monitor style earphones, so naturally, I am drawn to this sort of design. For me, fit and comfort are one of the most important parts of the equation when buying any set of headphones. There’s no point in something sounding great if you aren’t going to be comfortable when using it.”
DYNAUDIO XEO 2 WIRELESS LOUDSPEAKER $1,500 REVIEW
January 21, 2017 Comments Off on DYNAUDIO XEO 2 WIRELESS LOUDSPEAKER $1,500 REVIEW
“The common wisdom in the audiophile world is “wired good, wireless bad.” Well, Dynaudio and its Xeo 2 really upset these assumptions. Not only did its combination of packaging, performance, and convenience find a receptive audience with yours truly, but the Xeo 2 was also a hit among my tech-savvy millennial nieces and nephews.”

Do Lossless DTS-HD MA Soundtracks Stay Lossless?
January 20, 2017 Comments Off on Do Lossless DTS-HD MA Soundtracks Stay Lossless?
” When a disc with a DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack is played back, depending on the capabilities of your hardware the DTS decoder will either process the core 5.1 version (downmixing to 2-channel PCM if necessary), or process both the core version plus the extension data to effectively reconstruct the full lossless 5.1- or 7.1-channel soundtrack. In cases where a 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack is played on a 5.1 system, the back rear and side channel information is folded to a single set of stereo surround channels, but the resulting audio is still output in lossless, high-resolution format.”
