April 26, 2018 Comments Off on NEW STAX SR-009S FLAGSHIP HEADPHONES
“This will be surely of interest to many of you. Stax have just released their new SR-009S flagship headphones. Here is the offical blurb: “If the fixed electrode becomes infinitely thinner, the air resistance will be de- creased and the permeability of sound waves will be improved. On the other hand, thinner electrodes are poor in rigidity and suffer from vibrations of their own and the sound becomes muddy.The SR-009S evolved further the electrode established in the SR-009 as the integration of present technology.

Audio Research DAC 9 $7,500 Review
April 26, 2018 Comments Off on Audio Research DAC 9 $7,500 Review
“Another amazing quality of the DAC9 is the ability to render layered depth. Images are placed with three a dimensional presence that is surrounded by air allowing for great separation and a front to back precision that keeps individual instrumental timbre distinct and untangled. The accuracy of front to back distances or layering goes back, all the way back with stunning clarity. Orchestras are mapped out to the performer. All the modern studio recordings I sampled benefited greatly by the hologram like presence put forth by the DAC9 and holds true to the reputation Audio Research has earned over the years.”
YG ACOUSTICS SONJA 2.2 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER $76,800/ REVIEW
April 25, 2018 Comments Off on YG ACOUSTICS SONJA 2.2 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER $76,800/ REVIEW
“First, much like the XV, the 2.2 conveys both an immediate and lasting impression of offering superabundant sonic transparency. The speaker makes joyful child’s play of rendering small, elusive, low-level sonic details with effortless clarity and definition. Unlike many other speakers that claim to be good at detail retrieval, however, the Sonja 2.2 manages to be highly informative while also remaining uncannily smooth sounding and unflustered, whether playing loudly, softly, or anywhere in between (where competing speakers often achieve perceived detail at the expense of a subtly bright, brittle, and edgy sound). The upshot of this is that the 2.2 is a wonderfully natural sounding loudspeaker; there is absolutely nothing strained or forced about it presentation. ”

Brinkmann Audio Nyquist DAC Review
April 25, 2018 Comments Off on Brinkmann Audio Nyquist DAC Review
“Keep in mind for your reference; my own bias is for overall system balance to be ever so slightly on the warm/natural/neutral side of straight-up neutral. I like as much detail as I can get without the overall presentation getting harsh, yet I crave as much warmth as possible before things become slow, or sloppy. Tracking through the original Chicago Transit Authority, the enormous sonic landscape painted is tremendous, with a smoothness to the layers of drums and percussion incredible.”
Focal • Utopia and Elear Headphones Review
April 24, 2018 Comments Off on Focal • Utopia and Elear Headphones Review
“It’s the upper-frequency reproduction that separates merely excellent headphones from world-class performers, and at four times the price of the Elear, the Utopia proves that returns are not diminished as the cost escalates. The Utopia’s performance in this area was significantly better than that of the Elear, but it was also significantly better than the performance of high-priced headphones from other manufacturers.”
RHA MA750 WIRELESS $169 REVIEW
April 24, 2018 Comments Off on RHA MA750 WIRELESS $169 REVIEW
“First, the tips. Slip on the foam tips and you will get a better seal, a smoother treble response, and more low-end impact. Second, check your source. Those without aptX might find the sound a little lacking in dynamic range and impact whereas those with aptX signals will get a more dynamic performance. Finally, check your source. They do not all deliver the same level of performance or tonality.”
