Abyss AB-1266 Phi headphones $4495 Review
July 21, 2017 Comments Off on Abyss AB-1266 Phi headphones $4495 Review
“Many headphone connoisseurs consider the Stax SR-009 electrostatic headphones ($3825 + dedicated amplifier) to be the best-resolving of all candidates for best headphone. My numerous but brief auditions of this venerable classic suggest that the SR-009 does indeed generate the most beautiful and fascinating midrange, but it also sounds identifiably electrostat-like—and, hence, less natural than the Abyss AB-1266 Phis, which appear to have almost no sound of their own.”
Pandora Premium Music Service Review
July 21, 2017 Comments Off on Pandora Premium Music Service Review
“Is Pandora’s Premium service a formidable competitor to major players like Apple Music, Spotify, and TIDAL? Maybe the best answer is: not just yet. On paper, it doesn’t yet compete with those services in terms of overall functionality: access is limited primarily to phones, and it can’t serve as your all-in-one music player, since it can’t integrate your personal files. Still, there’s a lot to like about it, especially if (like me) you’ve used Pandora’s free service for years and created/fine-tuned a large collection of stations that you like. Premium builds more functionality and flexibility into those stations while giving you more direct access to specific songs, artists, and albums–all through a nice, streamlined interface.”

FiiO’s nifty i1 headphone amplifier $40 Lightning adapter
July 20, 2017 Comments Off on FiiO’s nifty i1 headphone amplifier $40 Lightning adapter
“Naturally, we had to compare the two adapters, FiiO and Apple. Starting with a Sennheiser Momentum 2.0, the i1’s bass definition firmed up compared with the Apple Adapter. With “Pink Up” from Spoon’s “Hot Thoughts” album, the drums and vibes have a lot of reverb, and the i1 sounds clearer than the Apple adapter. Not by a huge amount, but the differences are there.”

July 19, 2017 Comments Off on Schiit Launches A New Power Amplifier $700 – The Vidar
“The class AB amplifier is an interesting proposition given a market where class D topology tends to be the leaning option at this price point. Given Schitt’s large impact in the personal audio space, it will worth keeping an eye out for how everything comes together for this new 2 channel wallet-friendly option. You can check out all the extra details on the site, and as of today the rare-for-Schiit black finish is still available to order.”
AUDEZE ISINE20 IN-EAR HEADPHONES
July 19, 2017 Comments Off on AUDEZE ISINE20 IN-EAR HEADPHONES
“Overall I absolutely love the iSINE20 in-ear headphones. Offering Audeze’s first in-ear experience in such a revolutionary planar magnetic product is quite an impressive engineering feat. The resulting sound quality is something that has to be experienced to be believed. If you thought you had to sacrifice sound stage and imaging with a portable product without spending north of $2000 US; well, that has now changed! This is simply the best value for a portable pair of headphones/IEMs that I’ve come across and if you don’t require noise isolation due to their open-back design, I can think of no better option! Well done Audeze”
