Fostex TH-610, Massdrop TH-X00 REVIEW
April 25, 2017 Comments Off on Fostex TH-610, Massdrop TH-X00 REVIEW
” The trio we have here is quite a delightful dish of personal audio entrees. Each is flavored just enough to make them different, but clearly served from the same restaurant. It appears that careful planning was taken to make the Massdrop TH-X00 and TH-X00 Ebony fun-sounding headphones, which usually drives a solid reception when the flat, open, detail-oriented $1k+ expectations can’t be met due to design choices or cost restrictions.”
RAIDHO D-1.1 STANDMOUNT LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
April 25, 2017 Comments Off on RAIDHO D-1.1 STANDMOUNT LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
” For those of us with limited room and a love of listening to music through quality audio, the Danish company Raidho offer notable, if costly, salvation and the D-1.1 is the flagship of these small, supremely endowed models. Designed by Michael Børresen, the D-1.1 is the latest version of what began life as the D1. But, appearances can be deceptive and what we are really looking at here is virtually a new speaker that shares only the main cabinet and the tweeter with the D1. The baffle and back plate are new as are the crossover and rear connections, while the 115mm mid/bass driver has undergone major modifications with a new motor structure and surround. This has resulted in a 1.5dB rise in efficiency.”
Jeff Rowland preamps compared – Coherence II, Synergy IIi, Concerto and Corus
April 24, 2017 Comments Off on Jeff Rowland preamps compared – Coherence II, Synergy IIi, Concerto and Corus
“Ultimately it was felt by majority of the group that the Coherence II and the Synergy IIi, both with the BPS + external switching power supply, sounded best. While I shared some of this sentiment, I felt that none of the other amps could match the enormously impressive levels of transparency and resolution of the Corus, and its superb bass sealed the deal for me. I have been on a quest for more neutrality for some time now and for me, the Corus was the winner, even if it marked the start of a different sound signature for the Jeff Rowland brand.”

April 24, 2017 Comments Off on Denon AH-D7200 $1,000 Review
“Denon approached the AH-D7200s more like traditional speakers, with the Denon’s custom-developed 50mm driver inside each can designed to deliver the kind of performance you get from high-end loudspeakers.”
Raidho Acoustics XT-1 Loudspeaker Review
April 24, 2017 Comments Off on Raidho Acoustics XT-1 Loudspeaker Review
“Record after record, digital file or CD, instrumental or vocal repertoire, the Raidho’s never let me down. Each track I played uncovered a musical line, mark of expression or plain old emotional experience hitherto unheard. Quite remarkable. This time, no churlish attitude, and the XT-1 earns its Audiophilia Star Component Award.’
NEW DAN D’AGOSTINO PROGRESSION STEREO AMPLIFIER $22,000
April 23, 2017 Comments Off on NEW DAN D’AGOSTINO PROGRESSION STEREO AMPLIFIER $22,000
” Abundant power is required for realistic sound quality and is a cornerstone of Dan D’Agostino Master Audio Systems’ amplifier design. The Progression Stereo is conservatively rated at 300 Watts into 8 Ohms and delivers 600 Watts into 4 Ohms, and properly doubles its output again into 2 Ohms, with a 1,200 Watt power output.”‘

RDacoustic Evolution Loudspeakers REVIEW
April 23, 2017 Comments Off on RDacoustic Evolution Loudspeakers REVIEW
” Soundstaging has scale and depth and whilst these speakers certainly don’t disappear, you are presented with a wholly believable and realistic portrayal of the performance. Just play the DSD version of Jazz at the Pawn Shop on the Evolutions and you will understand immediately what I am batting on about…you really do feel like you are part of the audience.”
