LESSLOSS C-MARC CABLES REVIEW
August 22, 2017 Comments Off on LESSLOSS C-MARC CABLES REVIEW
“The focus and vivid rendering of the instruments embody the best attributes of musicianship with exceptional abilities regarding sonic projection. Thus one is really engaged because the interactive path between the performer and listener are bridged so well. At the end of the day, this is where the so-called magic resides. Not in a particular clinical dissection of the sound into constituent parts, but in potently rendering the message, that can evoke notions of the original aura of the music. If cables act in any other way off this course, what is the point really? We have enough EQ-ing paraphernalia in our high-end equipment assortment already.”
FINAL AUDIO E2000 / E3000 REVIEW
August 22, 2017 Comments Off on FINAL AUDIO E2000 / E3000 REVIEW
“The midrange is clean and neutral, and I am not hearing any weird peaks or valleys. Although it doesn’t have the body of the E3000, like I said before, it most certainly is not thin sounding. More importantly, the voices (especially the female ones), take their proper place in the sound stage. This still isn’t the IEM for people who like their vocals to jump out in an unnatural way. Voices just sound right.”
McIntosh D1100 Digital Preamplifier DAC Review
August 21, 2017 Comments Off on McIntosh D1100 Digital Preamplifier DAC Review
“The issue boils down to the fact that the DAC chip is normally muted until it receives non-silence data. But, this non-silence data can’t be just any non-silence data, it must be at a minimum volume level for the DAC to unmute. When the track reaches a certain volume level, the DAC unmutes and quickly fades-in to the music. In other words, the fade-in is triggered by a minimum amplitude, not by the start of a stream of USB data. Many DACs use a similar mute technique to reduce or eliminate pops on sample rate switches, but this is the only DAC I’ve seen that requires a minimum amplitude to unmute the volume.”
Studio Electric FS1 Loudspeakers $5900 Review
August 21, 2017 Comments Off on Studio Electric FS1 Loudspeakers $5900 Review
“And the FS1’s rendition of the highs has me rethinking my application of felt pads around my current tweeters, for the first time in about 20 years. They’re good for precise imaging, but they might be over-damping things a bit much. Going back from the FS1 is a bit of an adjustment.”
Rotel’s RA-10 integrated amplifier Review
August 21, 2017 Comments Off on Rotel’s RA-10 integrated amplifier Review
” With a more substantial build budget, the amplifier designer can specify a larger transformer, a more sophisticated power supply, higher quality capacitors, more tightly specified resistors and better output devices from which comes the possibility of higher output power, wider bandwidth, faster slew rate or higher damping factor.”
CHORD ELECTRONICS HUGO 2 – REVIEW
August 20, 2017 Comments Off on CHORD ELECTRONICS HUGO 2 – REVIEW
“The original Hugo was regarded a landmark in portable audio, and I think it’s offspring will follow the footsteps. You get real desktop class sound quality in a transportable package. It sounds really good with all ears and headphones I have used it with, and I am very much looking forward to trying out many more in the future.”
Naim Uniti Atom Review

“Meanwhile, accomplished dynamics act as midwife for the subtle inflections of Skinner’s vocal – there’s a level of detailed expression here that rivals can easily miss, mistaking his nonchalantly casual delivery for pedestrian boredom.
Music Server of the Future: Your Phone
August 20, 2017 Comments Off on Music Server of the Future: Your Phone
“While Roon still requires a computer or dedicated server, once you have that in place, everything can be controlled with your phone via a Roon app, which puts the entire system’s power and functionality in the palm of your hand. With Roon in my main system and the phone app installed, I found I had to sacrifice nothing — I have access to all of Roon’s features, more music than ever before, and no compromise in sound quality, whether I play music from a service that offers uncompressed streams, such as Tidal, or files locally stored on my NAS.”
Pro-Ject Essential III Review
August 19, 2017 Comments Off on Pro-Ject Essential III Review
Place a record on the platter – a mat is optional and there isn’t one included – and you’ll soon be treated to the trademark Pro-Ject sound. This is a good thing.
Listening to Stetsasonic’s Talkin’ All That Jazz is easy and enjoyable, thanks to good dynamics, an exciting treble, and a sonic balance that’s on the bright side but never edgy.

August 19, 2017 Comments Off on ESTELON LAUNCHES ROLLS ROYCE PRICED $364,000 SPEAKERS
“Estelon as befitting the launch didn’t hold back the superlative describing the new speakers as “…the world’s most technologically advanced speakers’’.
Estelon also made the point that its design people drew their inspiration for the Extreme Edition speakers, from the Rolls-Royce legacy of design excellence.”
