But, that was just one part of the challenge. Nagra has chosen 100% ultra-low noise selected and avoided standard DSD chip with the implementation of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) circuit specially programmed for Nagra. Accuracy of the clocks and the absence of temporal drift and jitter as well as ultra high performance time correction algorithm was especially developed for this project.”

“Considering that a decent, stand-alone headphone amplifier alone will set you back $1,500 these days, getting a power amplifier too makes the Mk. II a stone-cold bargain. Running through the gamut of headphones at our disposal, (Audeze, Grado, Koss, Pryma and OPPO) reveals the Mk. II has no difficulty driving any of them. Blume reveals that instead of an inexpensive op amp, the output of the amplifier drives the headphones directly, so that the output available is huge. This also gives the benefit of your favorite phones having the same sonic signature delivered to your speakers.”

MARTINLOGAN MOTION 40 FLOORSTANDING SPEAKERS REVIEW

” The Motion 40 cabinet comes with adjustable spikes to help decouple the cabinet from the floor. I recommend the spikes for absolute best sound, but the speaker also comes with soft dome feet for those homes where the floor is not carpeted. The Motion 40 has terminals for single or bi-wiring. Although the speaker will work fine with single wire, there are advantages sonically to bi-wiring and or bi-amping. Eliminating the common ground from the mid-range/tweeter driver and the bass drivers will deliver better sound by improving the amp to speaker electrical relationship, and avoiding any detrimental interface between the crossovers. Bi-amping will allow the listener to add an additional stereo amp or pair of mono block amps for better power reserve and improved dynamics.”

“In fact, the majority of sources have been far more capable than what someone who spends under $100 on earphones would be driving them from. Of course, they sounded incredible paired with the Opus #1, AK120 and Questyle QP1r but that is definitely overkilled. You don’t really need more than your phone to enjoy listening to the E3000. ”

“I then brought the UDP-205 temporarily into my bedroom home theater system, routing it via both HDMI and stereo RCA through Anthem’s MRX 720 receiver into my old Samsung 1080p plasma, mostly to test the player’s HDR-to-SDR conversion capabilities and to perform some quick listening comparisons between the Anthem’s DAC and that of the UDP-205.”

Lamm Industries L2.1 Reference preamplifier $22,790 Review

July 8, 2017 Comments Off on Lamm Industries L2.1 Reference preamplifier $22,790 Review

” During its time in my system, the Lamm L2.1 Reference was the rare product that swept the question of tubes vs solid-state into insignificance, focusing my attention on the music, and on an arguably more important variable in the making of good playback gear: the designer. Over the years, I’ve gained a sense that there are only a relatively few builders who, owing to their imagination and skill and training—not to mention the sheer force of their personalities—have a hold on one or more pieces of the playback puzzle. ”
