” Fans of the WATT Puppy sound will find a kindred spirit in the oBravo HAMT-1 and tweakers will love the ability to modify the sound to their own tastes. While I believe that the Black Dragon headphone cable is a must have for any serious HAMT-1 owner, the stock cable is great for use with portable devices.”
MONITOR AUDIO PLATINUM SERIES PL500 II LOUDSPEAKER $29,000 REVIEW
February 14, 2017 Comments Off on MONITOR AUDIO PLATINUM SERIES PL500 II LOUDSPEAKER $29,000 REVIEW
”
There are many variables that help or hinder great sound: crossover, cabinet, resonances, sensitivity, hunger for power. Happily, Monitor Audio’s myriad technical innovations have allowed the PL500 IIs to pretty well nail every criterion. The PL500 IIs proved endlessly enjoyable in their layers of depth and detail, delightful musicality, and overall coherence. They can also rock out and supply slam with the best of them. In sum, whatever your sonic and electronic preferences are, you really can’t go wrong with these towering transducers, however you power or configure them”

Peachtree nova300 $2299 Review
February 11, 2017 Comments Off on Peachtree nova300 $2299 Review
“Music taste will determine preference here but how many US$2299 integrateds do you know of that can hold their own against the thrice more costly Devialet? I find the nova300’s greater headroom and more overt macro-dynamic shifts better suited to the KEF standmounts than the Devialet, especially with indie rock and electronica/techno. Want a little more warmth? Add a tube buffer to the nova300’s input/output loop (untested here).

ROTEL RA-1592 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $2,500 REVIEW
February 11, 2017 Comments Off on ROTEL RA-1592 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $2,500 REVIEW
“The RA-1592’s sense of reserve power and dynamic headroom was suggestive of the hulking RB-1090 in its bass extension, slam, and pitch definition. During Jen Chapin’s cover of “Master Blaster,” the acoustic bass reproduction attached itself to the acoustics of my listening room and delivered the resonance, snapping string attack, and bloom that I’ve come to expect from this superb Chesky SACD track. Compared with the relentless power and control of the 1090, the RA-1592 comes up a little short in extreme grip and backbone at high outputs (”
RHA DACAMP L1 – ENERGY REVIEW
February 11, 2017 Comments Off on RHA DACAMP L1 – ENERGY REVIEW
” The new AudioQuest NightOwl is one of the headphones that impressed me most over the last few weeks. It sounds clear, precise and musical. It’s not as airy as the Hawk but I personally would say that’s a good thing. The L1 gives it all the power it needs and makes it sound incredibly good and detailed. This headphone surely will win a lot of the prizes this year and the DacAmp L1 is a great companion with it. Fully recommended.”
Bowers & Wilkins 803 D3 Diamond Loudspeakers – Review
February 10, 2017 Comments Off on Bowers & Wilkins 803 D3 Diamond Loudspeakers – Review
“B&W is a serious engineering company. This new Diamond line is a complete revamp of the previous range. It has the look of the line, but in truth almost 870 of the components used in the 803 D3 speaker are brand new. Only the famous dome, the terminals and a few other minor components remain. It’s the result of seven years of research, analysis and development.”

Audiolab M-DAC+ REVIEW
February 10, 2017 Comments Off on Audiolab M-DAC+ REVIEW
” Do you see what’s going on here? Although there are still audible differences between DACs, and there will always be a cost-no-object segment to provide even wider perspectives, the subjective differences in quality are becoming quite small. It seems evident that over the years, DAC quality has really improved a lot, especially in the more affordable end. Especially in the field of refinement and resolution, one needs not spend zillions anymore”
