HiFiMan Sundara Headphones $500 Review
June 3, 2018 Comments Off on HiFiMan Sundara Headphones $500 Review
“With a recording with natural imaging like Ry Cooder’s A Meeting by the River album, Sundara brought me into the session. I was with the band, more so than I heard from HiFiMan’s HE-400i headphones. Sundara is a higher-resolution device, yet there’s no sense of exaggerated detail or presence. The HE-400i is no slouch, but it sounds unfocused and opaque after you get used to Sundara’s sound.”

Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System (BMW 5-Series) Review
June 3, 2018 Comments Off on Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System (BMW 5-Series) Review
“There are a number of different sound modes to help tailor the system to your tastes. These include Studio, On Stage, Concert and Lounge. We’re big fans of the default Studio setting, which delivers the best balance of focus and immersion. Here you’re presented with the most solid and accurate soundstage, with instruments and vocals hanging in their own space.”

SPL Phonitor X $3,299 Review

“Phonitor X also features Voltair 120 volt rail technology, which SPL claims is “…four times as high as in standard audio designs. 120V Rail Technology is our reference technology developed and manufactured to run on an operating voltage of 120 volts, which corresponds to twice that of discrete operational amplifiers and four times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers.” Whether the high voltage is chiefly responsible for the X’s sound I can’t say, but it does sound awfully nice.”

MartinLogan Classic ESL 9 $6,495 – Review
June 2, 2018 Comments Off on MartinLogan Classic ESL 9 $6,495 – Review
“Their legacy products are still excellent, even by today’s standards, underlining the strength of their initial design brief. The Sequel and Summit still sound great, and you can still get them repaired – another attribute of a real high-end company. But going through the ranks with familiar tracks quickly reveals the sonic gains that have been achieved. Much as I love my Quads, they are considerably more limited in terms of what they can play and what they can play loud.”

AUDIO RESEARCH VSI75 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER$8500 REVIEW
June 1, 2018 Comments Off on AUDIO RESEARCH VSI75 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER$8500 REVIEW
“The built-in features keep track of the tube life, assist in biasing, and the power-up process ensures you don’t accidentally damage anything with an unintentional volume power surge. The solid remote should last as long as the unit. Though it’s not backlit, I usually only find that a minus in home theaters. The Audio Research VSi75 is an investment piece; whether you are moving up to your first tube amp or are thinking about setting up a primo stereo system from the ground up. The Audio Research VSi75 integrated amplifier is a sound choice that will pay musical dividends for many years to come.”
