Monoprice Monolith K-BᾹS Bookshelf Speakers $500 Review

February 24, 2017 Comments Off on Monoprice Monolith K-BᾹS Bookshelf Speakers $500 Review

Read Here

‘”The cabinet itself is relatively sturdy, with a ¾” thick front baffle and ½” thick sidewalls. The interior chamber paneling does serve very effective double-duty as bracing to reduce cabinet resonance. The cabinet is generously stuffed with Dacron in order to damp resonances as well. The speaker terminals are a pair of sturdy binding posts. The cabinets do not come with feet attached, but Monoprice has included small rubber dimple ‘stickers’ that can be attached and used as feet. Overall, the design looks to be solid, with a reassuring attention to detail.”

Final F7200 Review

“The F7200s are impressive, with stunning detail and clarity making them reference-grade in several respects. The potentially gimmicky ultra-slim construction does not hold them back.”

EFFECT AUDIO THOR SILVER II+ : CLARITY – REVIEW

February 24, 2017 Comments Off on EFFECT AUDIO THOR SILVER II+ : CLARITY – REVIEW

Read Here

“It’s a shame that my original Thor Silver is terminated for use with Audeze headphones, that makes it kind of hard to compare the sound signature of both cables. What I like most about this cable is that it almost disappears when you’re using it, the cable is so comfortably and light (for an aftermarket cable) that it never bothers you when you’re on the go. Sonically, its major strength is the incredible clarity, precision and cleanness. In contrast to most of the silver cables that just increase treble presence (which this cable also does), this cable does a bit of everything. Without influencing the bass, mids or treble “body-wise” it makes everything more precise, tight and clear”

Wilson Audio Alexx Loudspeakers $109,000 Review

February 23, 2017 Comments Off on Wilson Audio Alexx Loudspeakers $109,000 Review

READ HERE

“At $109k a pair, you’d most certainly expect any speaker to reproduce all these attributes and then some; and rightfully so. That’s a whole lot of dough. Cough, rasp, cough. To the initiated—i.e. those who already drink from HiFi’s Kool Aid—the speaker’s price point has today become quasi accepted. To the uninitiated, the price point seems absurdly ludicrous. That is of course, until they are educated on the “Why” question. No more could your average weekend warrior speaker “guy” create a transducer like Alexx than violently shaking the pieces of a Daytona hoping for the final product to magically materialize in your mystical box of trickery. A quick review of the facts, a visit to the Wilson factory, would reveal the resoluteness and sanity of Alexx’s asking price. ”

Pass Labs HPA-1 headphone amplifier $3500 Review

February 23, 2017 Comments Off on Pass Labs HPA-1 headphone amplifier $3500 Review

Read Here

“The HPA-1 sells for $3500 which is on the low-end of the Pass Labs scale, but nonetheless, near the top of the heap in headphone market at large. Yes, I can name a handful of headphone amplifiers with higher prices. That’s akin to pointing out a $150,000 pair of speakers as being more pricey than a set going for $80k. Both are on the extreme upper end of the spectrum, regardless of the difference.”

AMG 12JT Turbo Tonearm Review

February 23, 2017 Comments Off on AMG 12JT Turbo Tonearm Review

Read Here

“With the Teatro mounted in the 12JT my system had beautiful, rich tonal colors. The leading edges of instruments were more precise and more musical sounding. The decay and space around and within instruments was simply “right,” which made for a wonderful and emotional listening experience. I think one of the reasons why it sounds so good is that with the 12JT, the Teatro is able to do an even better job at getting out of its own way, an area where it already excelled. This tonearm allows the Teatro to almost rival the Soundsmith Strain Gauge or the new Optical DS cartridge. It doesn’t quite match them in this area of getting out of the way, but I feel you are getting everything you can get from this cartridge when used with the 12JT tonearm.

AUDIOVECTOR QR3 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW

February 23, 2017 Comments Off on AUDIOVECTOR QR3 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW

READ HERE

” The Audiovector QR3 is one of those loudspeakers that makes you realise just how far good audio has come in the last few years. The performance these speakers deliver was hard to find at anything like the price a few years ago (thanks to that AMT tweeter) and its musically engaging overall performance is every bit as attractive to newcomers (who might have never owned anything apart from iTunes recordings) and long-standing audiophiles (who have a collection of high-res downloads) alike. Unless you want a pair of loudspeakers that can double up as a PA system, the QR3 might just be all you need and comes strongly recommended”

Focal Sopra N°2 Loudspeaker Review

February 22, 2017 Comments Off on Focal Sopra N°2 Loudspeaker Review

Read Here

“I think think a few words from Focal about the trickle down technology would be appropriate with emphasis on the famous Beryllium tweeter. Midrange is always toughest to engineer correctly but Focal’s justly famous tweeter deserves a highlight (and NIC and TMD) for good measure. ”
