REL S/3 SHO subwoofer review
January 16, 2017 Comments Off on REL S/3 SHO subwoofer review
“The fire-fight shots around the night-club swimming pool in John Wick proved this point, and the S/3 SHO was equally good romping through some older favourites, like the Atmos-remastered The Fifth Element and space drama Gravity. While the latter film lacks a constant soundtrack of bass, the sound designers use LFE to subtly underpin effects and atmosphere. The REL’s superior tautness and articulation is in evidence here, adding that extra dimension to the aural mix without sounding disconnected. And if you regularly listen to music on your system with a subwoofer in play, those attributes translate into beautifully poised and eloquent bass augmentation.”

JWM ACOUSTICS KAREN 6 TURNTABLE REVIEW
January 15, 2017 Comments Off on JWM ACOUSTICS KAREN 6 TURNTABLE REVIEW
” Joshua had told me that the turntable was new and had not been broken in. He recommended that I run the turntable for 24 hours straight to help break it in. The Ortofon Black was new as well and from experience I knew I had at least a few weeks of break in on it before I was to begin critical listening. So I plugged in the Karen 6 to my new find (a Threshold FET 10 phono stage) and began to play records on this amazing machine.”

ReAd Here
The artist-friendly company has been holding their top tier product line in formation for quite some time in a market that sees updates annually (or even faster). Ultimate Ears appears to approach its launches with much thought, R&D and intent behind them. Their IEMs offer feature sets that cater closely to specific needs. With the Capital-Studio-backed UERR it was a more linear response, and for their efforts the achieved probably one of the most neural-sounding IEMs currently available on the market.”

” My concentration changes focus throughout the piece, in sort of a meditative way as it ebbs and flows throughout the piece. I found this happening when listening to the MLife play my favorite power orchestral pieces. Regardless of how boisterous the music might become, my focus changes throughout the piece, focusing on different instruments, different sections of the orchestra, and to its soloists. As it does in real life. The dynamic distance the MLife can create with this large group of instrument is second to none in my experience, regardless of whether I’m listening to the internal DAC fed by the Ethernet connection or a source connected through an interconnect, digital or analog”

Marantz HD-AMP1 Integrated Amplifier & DSD DAC Review
January 13, 2017 Comments Off on Marantz HD-AMP1 Integrated Amplifier & DSD DAC Review
I listened to the HD-AMP1’s analog inputs by connecting the Simaudio 280D DAC, with built in MiND ethernet streamer. The results were the same, mirroring my impressions of the overall character of the USB input. This speaks very well of the analog output stage. (Oh, and the Simaudio DAC costs two and a half times more than the HD-AMP1, so color me impressed.) I am quite pleased that Marantz chose to include analog inputs, as this allows for use of an SACD player, tape deck, or vinyl/outboard phono stage setup.”
