LZ BIG DIPPER REVIEW
August 25, 2017 Comments Off on LZ BIG DIPPER REVIEW
” Separation is wonderful if you leave the 1st switch closed. If you open it to get more bass kick, it veils the mids a little bit unfortunately. So you don’t get the best resolution that this IEM offers that way. But if you can live with a flatter, reference-like bass character than you can leave the switch off and enjoy a great instrument separation. In addition, transparency across the mids is wonderful at all times. Especially listening to female vocals is a joy. You can hear their voice perfectly clear as long as the recording is well mastered.”

Audio Research Reference Phono 3 Review
August 25, 2017 Comments Off on Audio Research Reference Phono 3 Review
“The Ref Phono 3 flexed its muscles once again when I played Richter’s performance of Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 & 2 on Philips (PHS 900-000) If you do not yet own this album please do yourself a favour and pick up an original FR-1 on ebay rather than the Speaker’s Corner version. Even though it says Philips on the label, it is actually a Mercury production of Richter’s first ever recording at the Walthamstow Town Hall in the UK, using 35mm film for the recording instead of magnetic tape. Richter’s breathtaking performance delivered through the Mercury “Living Presence” sound poses great challenges for lesser equipment To reproduce the sound of a full size concert piano with all its dynamic spectrum is difficult enough, but to render the thunderous lower notes with clarity and distinction,”
MARK LEVINSON, VIENNA ACOUSTICS, CHORD COMPANY SYSTEM REVIEW
August 24, 2017 Comments Off on MARK LEVINSON, VIENNA ACOUSTICS, CHORD COMPANY SYSTEM REVIEW
“This cable really lets the signal breathe, pushing the musical performance to the fore and the system itself well into the background. So, the bigger the system’s performance envelope the more effectively it is able to disappear – and this system has a big envelope, both in terms of bandwidth and dynamic headroom: big is no problem, loud is no sweat. In fact, the presentation is so open, the tonality so natural and devoid of edge or harshness, and the dynamics so uninhibited and engaging that it likes nothing better than to have its volume control well advanced. Unlike a lot of systems, you don’t have to play this one loud, but boy are you going to get full value when you do.”

FLUANCE SIGNATURE SERIES HI-FI THREE-WAY FLOORSTANDING SPEAKERS REVIEW
August 23, 2017 Comments Off on FLUANCE SIGNATURE SERIES HI-FI THREE-WAY FLOORSTANDING SPEAKERS REVIEW
”
The Fluance Signature Series Floorstanding speakers certainly provide a serious value. Pound for pound these speakers provide a serious amount of hardware for a low price. These speakers do well at high volumes, and can take significant power. While they are large and heavy Fluance did save some money with the cabinets, using a lower priced finish and going light on the internal bracing has made the sound suffer somewhat.”
Opus 2 $1200 Review
August 23, 2017 Comments Off on Opus 2 $1200 Review
” In the midrange, Tera sounds slightly more resolved and transparent, but Opus#2 is weightier and provides an effortless note releasing in accordance with its general note structure. Indeed, Tera has the same ‘’sounding with efforts’’ problem when it comes to the comparison with Lotoo Paw Gold and Chord Hugo. On the other hand, Tera maintains a less colored midrange presentation.”

Audio Research GSi75 Integrated Amplifier $16,000 Review
August 22, 2017 Comments Off on Audio Research GSi75 Integrated Amplifier $16,000 Review
“All but the most maniacal headphone listener will not need an outboard headphone amplifier. The GSi75 has much more sheer drive than is necessary to achieve the volume level you require, and the level of refinement is exceptional. Going through all of my favorite prog and electronica tracks made for an aural playground with the GSi75. Cheech and Chong’s Big Bambu was not only a great throwback, but fully illustrated the high level of imaging prowess that placed the people speaking everywhere in the room. Big fun.”
