“The LCDi4 delivers high-performance audiophile-grade sound you can take anywhere, and with its friendly 105dB sensitivity can be driven (to reasonable levels) by anything from a lowly smartphone on up to a top-tier headphone amp. In short, it’s hard to imagine a more satisfying and habit-forming in-ear experience.”

Bryston 3B, 4B and 14B “Cubed” power amplifiers Review

“The 4B Cubed is more sonorous and tonally fuller than the old 3B ST, with a richer timbre. It is also more relaxed and has a more bloomy midrange, which makes it very forgiving in spite of its high resolution. The 4B Cubed might seem like overkill but it makes the Centaurs’ relatively humble woofer produce deeper bass than ever before. Importantly, although the Centaurs are really revealing in the treble, they portrayed nothing but pure, sweet treble from the 4B Cubed.”

Pass Labs XA25 amplifier $4,900 Review

“Priced at $4,900 or £4,000, the XA25 is the most affordable of Pass Labs’ power amps. If you’re an audiophile looking for your next amp, is 25 watts enough? Sure, it’s easy to err on the side of more watts, but what will you be missing in terms of clarity? Sometimes less turns out to be more. ”

AUDIOCAST M5 WIRELESS STREAMER REVIEW

“I hear no differences in staging size via the M5 through most other setups. That is a good thing. I expected far less realism but received a very good performer. This is funny, because, I do own a few streamers (which are video-enabled and not dedicated audio only like this M5 is) and the difference with some of them are apparent.

I can say that streaming services via my Roku are not half had at such a price and that the M5 sounds identical. What audio components are in there helping the signal boost, are quality.”

“The key step up from the HE1000 V2 is the tonal balance combined with better dynamics and tighter transient response. The HE1000 V2 will seem the livelier of the two but the Susvara is the smother and more defined headphone.”

Constellation Audio Revelation Taurus Mono Amplifiers $39,000 Review

“Playing these two longtime reference recordings sent me down a rabbit hole. When I listened to The Trinity Session yet again, I was struck by how natural Margo Timmins’s voice sounded, and by all the air I could hear around it — a small but significant increase in resolution and clarity from what I’d heard with other amps. In The Mission, the sound of the woodwind instruments grabbed my attention — a breathy quality I hadn’t noticed before that made them sound more real, with a bit more presence. After having heard both recordings so many times over the years, I was surprised to hear something new. Which makes me think that while I’ve already spent several thousand words describing these amps, there may be still more to say about them — a telltale indication of a great hi-fi product.”
