PS Audio Stellar S300 Stereo Power Amplifier Review
October 15, 2017 Comments Off on PS Audio Stellar S300 Stereo Power Amplifier Review
“he Stellar S300 amplifier has numerous strengths, but the most obvious is the purity of the entire treble range. Here we enjoy a freedom from harshness, a continuousness, a depth of tone that is similar to that found in the Cary single-ended tube amp. The tube amp digs a bit deeper into the lowest levels of resolution, but the easy on the ears treble range of the PS Audio amp is a pleasure to hear. (I wonder if raising the amplifier’s cut off frequency from 50 kHz to 100 kHz might provide another small fraction of a degree of higher resolution in the upper treble.) ”

“A top performance and an experience that I cannot define just interesting. I am on the right path when I think that the playback music must be convincing at high volumes, a paramount condition to verify the quality of an audio system. I am persuaded that the high efficiency is the right way because is the best in reproducing the detail, the sound image, the tone colour, the dynamics and the musical pressure with low distortion. However, to do something new, you need drivers with a specific target and design. You cannot rely only on schemes, calculations, or measurements that can – IMHO – flatten and standardize performances and sounds”

“Turning to digital tracks, with Tidal HiFi music streaming, I played The Cranberries latest album. Released in April 2017, The Cranberries Something Else, includes a wonderful set of reinterpreted acoustic hit singles of the 90’s famed band. On the track “Linger”, the Viotti One produced razor-edge imaging and a distinct soundstage. Treble notes were sharp and quick, with cymbals possessing a beautiful shimmer. There was also a sugary sweetness to Delores’ vocals, adding to my engagement. The treble quality was akin to what I’ve heard with ribbon tweeters, while always remaining well integrated with the midrange.”

October 13, 2017 Comments Off on McIntosh’s New MHA50 Portable Decoding Amplifier $700
“Why am I covering the release of the new McIntosh MHA50 Portable Decoding Amplifier? A few reasons; 1) McIntosh is one brand that sells itself because it has the best brand recognition in the industry (think blue glow), 2) Most people like to buy things that they find attractive (there’s nothing wrong with that, even in hi-fi), and 3) We tend to ignore these 2 very important things.

“Still, the one area where the 705 S2 didn’t get high marks was with rock music — it just didn’t have the guts to slam me against the listening chair with the Pixies’ “Doolittle.” The speakers played loud enough, but dynamic kicks held back a smidge. Switching over to the Klipsch Forte III speakers satisfied my lust for rock thrills, but that speaker can’t touch the 705 S2 for refinement and clarity.”
