MCINTOSH MA8900 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $15,000 REVIEW
December 20, 2017 Comments Off on MCINTOSH MA8900 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $15,000 REVIEW
“The MA8900 was inserted in a system comprising SME 20/11 turntable, SME V tonearm and Koetsu Rosewood cartridge, Audio Research Reference 7 MK2 CD player, Elektra Audio pre and power amplifier driving Wilson Sasha speakers. Cabling used was Inakustik throughout, including the tonearm cable.
From the get-go, the new McIntosh drove the wicked Sasha speakers with arrogant ease. The sound was full-bodied, detailed, rhythmic, clear as a summer sky and effortlessly dynamic.”
FOSTEX TH610 HEADPHONES AND HPA4BL DAC/HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER REVIEW
December 20, 2017 Comments Off on FOSTEX TH610 HEADPHONES AND HPA4BL DAC/HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER REVIEW
“For those looking for a beautifully made pair of headphones, which can do bass like the best of them, you should definitely audition these headphones. However, for me, they are a much more attractive proposition teamed up with the HBA4BL as a partner, which is not only an excellent Headphone/DAC amplifier for the money, but also is a match made-in-heaven for the headphones.”

Pass XP-17 Phono Preamplifier Review
December 19, 2017 Comments Off on Pass XP-17 Phono Preamplifier Review
“The XP-17 finally is positioned several price classes higher, but very much deservedly so. Although the Pass has no tubes, it does sound every bit as fluid and organic as the SW1X. It is perhaps not quite as spritely nor as nimble and speedy, but it makes up for this with an even more sonorous sound with more powerful and more sonorous bass and a harmonically richer midrange, while simultaneously sounding more even-handed. Importantly, regardless of its full-bodied bass and rich midrange, the Pass sounds clear and articulate, well-balanced and very neutral. It actually combines virtues that are often contradictory: tonally full yet neutral, organic, rich and fluid yet clean, clear and detailed, and all aspects in equal measure.”
